Caesar Vinaigrette Slaw

I recently learned how to make Caesar dressing from scratch and I can’t tell you enough how easy it is! I personally don’t like heavy mayo infused dressings so I like to make a vinaigrette. This vinaigrette goes well on any salad greens and you can even add an avocado to make it a bit…

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 will take what is mine with fire and blood.” It’s true Game of Thrones is over but that doesn’t mean you can’t eat like the lady of Dragonstone, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms or a mad queen. The season finale of GOT has come and gone and life as we know it has…

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…

The Sun Sets on South Texas Turkey Season

I’ve said it a million times before- A bad day of turkey hunting is still a good day of turkey hunting. But there are “less good” days mind you. And I have experienced a few of them these past couple years. This spring I had lots of opportunities to hunt my favorite birds and it…

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…
