Know what I love about you guys?? That you’re all game for wild game. After a great response from my post on venison stroganoff, I feel I owe it to you to give you another awesome spin on how I prepare venison in this veggies and …
Why has it taken three weeks to recover from the holiday season?? I’m guessing it has something to do with a full two months of busy-ness leading to I-just-want-to-do-nothing syndrome. I’m still trying to catch my breath. The outdoor temperatures here in Minnesota were comparable to …

My dad always enjoyed the weird (read: not kid friendly) vegetables like parsnips, asparagus and eggplant. They might be the only veggies I actually saw him eat that weren’t potatoes now that I’m thinking about it. Now that I’m older I realize those veggies aren’t all …
Eating your veggies for dessert? Okay, I’m sold! Yes, I’ve officially boarded the pumpkin pie train. I’ve honestly never made a pumpkin pie since my all time favorite holiday pie is sour cream raisin or even mincemeat (I know, weird). Given that my husband absolutely MUST have pumpkin …
