If you ever bump into me, ask me to tell you a funny story about a giant cabbage (this one isn’t from my garden). I created this elk ramen recipe while looking for ways to use up said enormous crown. If you’re looking for a quick, hearty meal with a kick of flavor, this one…
Along the lines of the last recipe I shared, I’m creating an elk stew today. We usually make “Caldo de Rez,” a beef broth stew. I call it the original bone broth. As with many of my creations, I make them with what I have, so I’m substituting elk meat today. This is a hearty…
Colder months mean it’s time to embrace the best of both worlds—goose hunting and hearty soup season. I recently found myself inspired to create a classic: Panera’s Broccoli Cheddar Soup. Then, I elevated it, adding a twist to boost the flavor and protein. The result? A rich, creamy bowl of goodness featuring slices of my…
Wild game stroganoff is a cozy, satisfying meal that never disappoints. It’s an easy way to transform venison, elk, or moose into a tender and comforting dish without a lot of extra steps. The sauce is creamy, the mushrooms add depth, and the whole meal evokes the nostalgic feeling of enjoying Mountain House meals after…

This year, I had rave reviews on my stuffing, possibly due to the secret, field-to-fork ingredient. Dare I tell the story of how I made the “best stuffing ever?” Let me start at the beginning.

This sourdough recipe is a fantastic, super-easy appetizer or side dish. I threw it together in less than five minutes, and baked goodness emerged from the oven. The family raved and asked for the recipe, so I’m sharing it with you. It will fill the requirement if you need help deciding what to take to…
I’m sharing a copycat recipe for one of my family’s favorite candies. If you listen to this week’s podcast episode, you’ll learn a little about my journey to becoming more healthy than before. While this has been an ongoing process, it took a severe turn, and I’ve committed to being the healthiest version of myself….
Venison Sloppy Joes make my mouth water, and they hit that sweet spot between comfort food. They’re quick, hearty, and a good way to use ground meat from the freezer without a lot of fuss. The sauce is rich and tangy, the meat stays tender, and the whole thing comes together in one pan. As…
If you have salads that wilt too quickly or have difficulty eating your vegetables, this wild game sauté is a perfect way to use up those greens and make them taste good too. Today, I’m using a bagged salad that is close to its expiration date and a few other items that are in the…
