Smoked Pulled Pork
Pulled pork is the first thing I became really comfortable smoking and being able to achieve a consistent end product. Dare I say perfect? I mean, the recipe is made the way, I really like it so I guess it’s perfect for me. And it’s become pretty popular with whomever, I have made it for…
Slow Cooker Mango Peach Goose Rice Bowls
We had a fun year hunting early goose this year up in North Dakota. Over the summer we made our own A-frame blinds where you can sit up on comfy chairs while hunting geese, it was fun anticipating how it would go and customizing the blinds to how we like to hunt and the number…
