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…
Peanut Butter Cookies
It’s no secret that one of the big reasons I am so warmly welcomed at our hunting camp is because of the cookies and bars I bring. The fact that I’ve outshot the guys on more than one occasion makes me a valued member of our hunting party but they don’t exactly like when I…
Creamed Corn
I don’t remember when or where we made this recipe first. But I do know husband loves corn and at some point something possessed up to try making our own creamed corn. I printed the recipe we started with from food.com on 10/29/2012 so we’ve been making and tweaking it for almost 4 years. I’d call…

Caprese Panini

Sour Cucumbers
In my hometown of Ely, we like to ‘sour’ things. It can be lettuce, cucumbers, peas and more. Sour food is basically like a simple quick pickle that generally has nothing more than oil and vinegar. I’m not sure what part of Ely’s heritage it comes from or if it just became popular locally. Sour…
Roasted Red Pepper and Zucchini Frittata
Believe it or not, it wasn’t until earlier this year when I had a frittata for the first time. It was something I’d seen in cookbooks, cooking magazines, and cooking shows; most often billed as a great brunch food. But for whatever reason I hadn’t ever tried one. Then we went out for breakfast at…
