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.

Figgy Old Fashioned
Oh bring us a figgy old fashioned; Oh, bring us a figgy old fashioned; Oh, bring us a figgy old fashioned; it’s a cup of good cheer! It’s been quiet here on the blog lately – life kind of got in the way – but since Tory & I started talking about planning the Christmas…
Grilled Lemonade Cocktails – Two Ways

Hash Brown Crusted Halibut with Mango Salsa
I saw this halibut recipe on an episode of The Kitchen and knew that it was a great opportunity to try for Lent. I can’t count the number of times that hash browns, home fries, or American fried potatoes have been a part of our fish meals – so it was a natural for me…
