Not Always the Cat’s Meow (Venison Marsala)
Like every other deerslayer’s wife on the planet, as hunting season winds down, I come to the realization that, as much as I embrace my vocation, being the wife of a deer slayer isn’t always all that great. Don’t get me wrong! There’s no… Continue Reading “Not Always the Cat’s Meow (Venison Marsala)”
Venison and/or Wild Pork Enchiladas with Creamy Poblano Sauce
This recipe has become my “go to” meal to prepare for company; either a small get-together or a camping group of 50. I’ve received compliments from fans of wild game and friends who didn’t realize they were sharing God’s wild bounty. I really like this recipe… Continue Reading “Venison and/or Wild Pork Enchiladas with Creamy Poblano Sauce”
Maple Wild Pork Sausage
We were blessed this season to end up with a freezer full of wild pork. We have roasts, ribs, shanks, pork belly, and lots of ground meat. I was particularly excited to have the ground pork. Last year, for the first… Continue Reading “Maple Wild Pork Sausage”
Venison Parmesan with Fabulous Sauce
This is one of my family’s favorite recipes. It’s elegant enough to serve to company, the sauce can be made up ahead to save time, the meat can even be pounded out a day ahead, as well. When I prepared it this time, my… Continue Reading “Venison Parmesan with Fabulous Sauce”

Deerslayer’s Venison and Guinness Stew
I bought this awesome cast iron dutch oven with a lid. I’ve been wanting one for quite a while. With deer season in full swing, I was looking forward to trying it out. This recipe pretty much happened by accident. My junior deerslayers and… Continue Reading “Deerslayer’s Venison and Guinness Stew”
Goat Cheese, Just Because!
This past weekend, I trekked eight hours up to San Angelo, Texas with one goal in mind; to replenish my supply of goat cheese. I could’ve just ordered some on the internet, but I’d heard that my “goat-cheese lady” had gotten some “new stuff”.… Continue Reading “Goat Cheese, Just Because!”
To Bean or Not To Bean
Cool weather is finally making its way to South Texas. It’s about freakin’ time. We’ll be bundling up and drinking hot chocolate in temperatures that we’re hoping will range from 78 to lows in the 50s. Brrrrrrr. Whenever it starts to get cold in… Continue Reading “To Bean or Not To Bean”
