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…
Mexican Chopped Salad with Honey Lime Jalapeno Vinaigrette
During the time our kitchen has been non-functioning, or rather non-existent – as we’ve gone through this addition – we ate a lot of salads. Not the normal salads you’ve seen me post with homemade dressing and all sorts of good fixings. No, we ate a lot of the prepackaged, bagged salads that had a…
Copycat Cane’s Sauce
It’s almost New Year’s and that means it’s almost time for our traditional Southern Style Chicken Strip feast with my in-laws! It’s probably one of the meals I look forward to most each year. Part of it is because the night is so low key and we play games all evening. And then of course…

Gingerbread Pancakes
I don’t make pancakes from scratch very often. In fact, most of the time I make pancakes at home I use the ‘just add water’ boxed mixes – which is probably sacrilege for a food blogger to even admit. They are just so darn easy. Then again, the first time I made these gingerbread pancakes…
Molasses Spice Cookies
I give blood roughly every 56 days (the minimum time between donations). I started donating when I was a Junior in high school at the first blood drive after I was eligible to donate. I wanted to donate because growing up my dad donated on a regular basis and I wanted to be just like…
