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…
Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes with Almond Butter Syrup
I love breakfast. Unfortunately, I just don’t make it very often. Yes, I eat breakfast every day but most days that consists of a bowl of oatmeal at my desk.

Rhubarb Cake

Spiralized Jicama Apple Slaw
The first time we made this recipe, we were hanging out at home just a week or two after the new kitchen was up and running. I think those first few weeks there was some definite pent up creative energy when it came to cooking after not having a kitchen for 5 months. We made…
