Cast Iron Seared Dove & Creamy Grits

Dove season is upon us again (cue “It’s the most wonderful time of the year” theme song). I am not the best dove hunter around, at best I get a few birds every year- Adam on the other hand is the bread winner, or dove winner have you. But hey, this week I have already…

Venison and Cauliflower Italian Bake

Finally! Day three of my one roast, three recipe challenge to myself. Minimal ingredients packed with lots of flavor, this dish was inspired by my craving for lasagna without the time to make one. This dish is also one of those pantry cleaner dishes- you know the ones. When you haven’t gone to the store…

Venison Noodle Soup, Fried Shallot, Cabbage and Venison Broth

Continuing with day two of my meal challenge this recipe could easily be made with any noodle or omit the noodles entirely! This is why in my previous post I instructed to reserve that venison roast broth from your crockpot. The broth itself is light in flavor but why not use it and absorb more…

Thai Sriracha Venison and Cabbage

How many meals can I make from ONE venison roast? This was the question I asked myself this week. Amidst global virus scares and the usual drama of the world my mind still drifted off to food and the upcoming spring vegetable season. I have been working in the garden every night this week making…

Cast Iron Venison Meatball Masala & Cauliflower

Lately I have been into making one skillet meals without trying to compromise taste. This one skillet venison meatball masala is a prime example of how to elevate wild game but also make it an easy weeknight meal. I made this dish on a Monday! A MONDAY! Mondays at our house are usually reserved for…

Mongolian Venison & Broccoli

Fast weeknight meals are becoming even more important these days. There are a lot of changes coming my way in 2020 but I don’t want that to limit me from eating the same great home cooked meals as before. Often times people tell me that the dishes I make seem to fancy or difficult- and…

Venison Curry Soup

I’ve been in spring cleaning mode lately, and the last thing I want to do when I get home is cook. But being it was Friday yesterday, and an end to another long week, we had a date night with Anthony Bourdain on Hulu and a big bowl of venison curry soup. This year Adam…

If I Could Write a Letter to Me: Quail Karaange

“If I could write a letter, to me…” The Brad Paisley tune came to mind most recently as I sat under the oak trees by my neighbors tank, plucking beautiful little quail for dinner that evening. Like the song suggests, if I could write a letter to my seventeen year old self about this moment…

Gorganzola & Malabar Spinach Stuffed Wild Turkey Breast

I’ve been thinking about trying this idea since I harvested my turkey last weekend. Mostly because I recently purchased a beautiful hunk of gorganzola and wanted to use it in a creative way. Also because our Malabar spinach in the garden is growing fast . This vining spinach is one of my favorite things to…

Keep Calm & Curry On: Easy weeknight venison curry

I am not a curry expert but I sure do love it and its flexibility with whatever is in my fridge- making it an easy weeknight meal when I am busy in the garden or playing with Jane. The hardest part is not eating all the venison before plating the dish. I must admit a…
