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.

Eggplant Mozzarella Melts
This is our first recipe in our Lenten meat-free series, just in time because today is Ash Wednesday. Following this recipe, we’ll post a meat-free recipe on every Friday during Lent. Dana and I made this the other day for lunch on one of our blogging days. Both of us were actually surprised just how good they…

Chicken Enchiladas with Apple-Avocado Salsa

Bacon Wrapped Waterchestnuts
Bacon wrapped waterchestnuts are one of my favorite appetizers. These are not only a Whitten family tradition, but they are also award winning too. First, they won an appetizer competition at our Minneapolis office. Then one of my team members made them for a Denver secret ingredient competition, where bacon was the secret ingredient, and…
