Japanese BBQ Glazed Duck over Mashed Sweet Potatoes
We recently got back from our annual duck hunting trip to North Dakota. It wasn’t exactly our most successful hunting trip up there, we had multiple days of 80 degree beautiful sunny, cloudless, no wind days – which while gorgeous and somewhat unseasonably warm, isn’t exactly great duck hunting weather. We had not one but…
Buffalo Blue Cheese Sauce
For New Year’s this past year we were looking for a new sauce to try for with our chicken strips and Derek came up with the idea for a Buffalo Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce.

Spicy Sausage and Velveeta Dip
Last year for Appetizer Night at duck camp, Mom was trying to figure out what to make when Derek piped up, “what about that cheesy, hamburger dip?” Because what good Appetizer Night, Tailgate Party, or Football afternoon is complete without a good cheese dip?

This is a recipe that I found on Kraft’s website years ago, back in our college days. And we’ve been making it ever since. I almost felt like I should wait and post this during deer season since it’s made an appearance annually for at least the last 4 years – probably longer than that. …
Sriracha Ketchup
It’s getting close to New Year’s and if you’ve been following this blog you know that our family likes to celebrate with a low key game night and a homemade buttermilk fried chicken strip and fresh cut French fry feast. I’ve posted quite a few of the homemade sauce options I serve with the chicken…
