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.

Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies
I love, love, love lemon flavored desserts and I really love poppy seed muffins so when these Lemon Poppy Seed Cookies popped up on my Pinterest feed, I immediately saved them.

How to: Caramelize Onions
