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…
Gumdrop Bread
At the annual cookie party my Aunt ‘Thann used to throw when we were kids, not only would each family get to take home a bucket of Christmas cookies but we would also get a loaf of bread – like this Gumdrop Bread. It’s kind of like a version of a fruitcake but made with…
Slow Cooker Green Chili Chicken Enchilada Soup
I might not love late fall and winter for the temperatures or the snow, but I do love how good they make a bowl of soup taste. And there is nothing better then a slow cooker soup that is basically waiting for you when you get home from work. Combine a warm bowl of soup…

Pumpkin Bars
Now, it’s finally time for pumpkin! Even my most die-hard, pumpkin spice loving friend was getting sick of pumpkin spice before the end of October. This is why I don’t understand starting everything earlier and earlier every year. I was seeing Christmas wrapping paper and presents in displays before my Dad’s birthday in mid-October this…
Banana Nut Blondies with Brown Butter Glaze
While some might say that this is the season of pumpkin – or really pumpkin spice; for me at least until we get closer to Thanksgiving, I actually think banana. I can remember baking banana bread on a cool October day while dad was in the garage painting decoys and bringing out still warm slices…
