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.

Special K Bars
We just got back from our first hunting trip of the season – early goose in North Dakota. This is also our hottest hunting trip of the year, and as I’m getting all the food and goodies ready, I like to have a couple options that I don’t need to bake in the oven. So…
