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.

Vanilla Herbal Iced Tea
I think I’ve made it pretty clear in previous posts that I LOVE vanilla. I also have made mention that Dana is the nicer sister. Because Dana is the nicer sister, happens to be a really good gift giver, and is well aware of my obsession with vanilla, she got me an entire recipe book…

Homemade Ginger Beer
I just posted my new favorite drink – the Irish Mule. And to really take this drink over the top, I recommend trying a homemade ginger beer. Actually, my husband insisted that I try to make my own for the drink, so that’s why we tried it the first time. Turns out he was right…
