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…
How to: Make Sweetened Whipped Cream
This is the first recipe in a new category for Gravel & Dine called ‘How to’. One of the original reasons Tory & I started this blog was to collect all of the recipes that we liked in one place; cooking tips/tricks/instructions for things I find myself always looking up each time seemed like a…
Red Wine Spritzer
Most people who know me, know that I’m a traditionalist. I love following traditions and I love seasons and the traditions and nostalgia that come along with them. Another thing I love is red wine.

Strawberry Rhubarb Frozen Greek Yogurt

Tory’s favorite ice-cream is licorice and I’m still waiting for her to make it for Gravel &…
Garden Lettuce w Vinegar Dressing

Every year they grow a huge garden, full of potatoes, onions, corn, and too many other veggies to mention and of course the purpose of this post, loose leaf lettuce. The best thing about this lettuce/salad is you can pick a fresh salad for…
Summertime Tomato and Orange Soup
Orange soup? I don’t think I have ever seen fruit in soup before. This reminds me of my Dad’s “man rule”: No fruit in beer. I wonder if it applies to soup too? Soup and red wine sort of go out of season as the weather warms up. This makes me sad because I love red…
