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…
Maple Bacon Brussels Sprouts
I’ve only had brussels sprouts a couple times in my life and was kind of ambivalent towards them, I didn’t love them but I didn’t hate them either. Then a coworker who is a total foodie gave me this recipe that she made for her family over the holidays and I knew it was worth…
Slow Cooker Pumpkin French Toast
On Christmas morning we wake up, pass out presents, maybe open a couple but then take a break and have big brunch. So that no one has to slave away in the kitchen for too long, over the past couple of years we’ve been experimenting with various overnight French toasts and slow cooker egg bakes. …

Holly Wreaths are basically a rice krispy bar made with cornflakes, shaped into a wreath and garnished with red hot candies. I love how festive these look!…
Ely Pasties

Salt Block Shrimp
Last year for Christmas I got the most amazing Secret Santa gift from one of my foodie friends who obviously knows me pretty well. The gift was a Himalayan salt block (#EarnsCommission) that is used a cooking vessel. Cook on salt? Huh? At first I was just as confused until my good friend google came…
