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.

Southwest Salad with Creamy Avocado Dressing
I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. I’ve yet to meet anyone who really sticks with them and I don’t want to set myself up for failure. So unlike some people I know, I’m not on a huge healthy eating, salads only kick at this time of the year. But for the past year and a…

Individual Caramel Apple Snickers Trifles
We have the best New Year’s Eve tradition that we share with my in-laws. We get together deep fry chicken strips, French fries, have all kinds of good food and dessert and then we hang out and play games until midnight, take a break to count down, and play some more games. It’s the perfect…
