Crispy Corned Beef

There are perks to following me on Instagram, like those mornings when I decide to share step-by-step instructions for preparing my favorite meals as I cook. I actually did that for the first time a few weeks ago, and I had a lot of fun with it. I prepared crispy corned beef for brunch that day, and I thought I’d share the recipe here too, in case you and I aren’t friends on Instagram yet. But yeah, we should be friends!

Yes, I know, this looks really unhealthy. And it is. But hey, it’s really great comfort food. Try it, and I swear you’ll understand what I’m talking about!
