Camping and Pico de Gallo (and skinning fajitas!)
This is the time of year that I enjoy the most. My younger junior deerslayer and I have finished up her homeschool year. My older junior deerslayer turned 24 today. With these milestones under our belts, the entire family has switched into camping mode. … Continue Reading “Camping and Pico de Gallo (and skinning fajitas!)”
Only 3 1/2 More Months
Roasted Corn and Poblano Chowder with Whitewing Dove Breast First of all, it just occurred to the Deerslayer family that, in South Texas, whitewing season will commence in three and a half short months. With that in mind, it was safe for me… Continue Reading “Only 3 1/2 More Months”
Sauteed Mushroom, Basil, and Sundried Tomato Filled Ravioli with Creamy Tomato-Basil Sauce
Playdoh was one of my favorite things as a kid. It had such an interesting texture, smell, and what vibrant color! It squished wonderfully between my fingers. It transformed into animals and flowers, pretend foods and characters. It was perfect fun and kept an… Continue Reading “Sauteed Mushroom, Basil, and Sundried Tomato Filled Ravioli with Creamy Tomato-Basil Sauce”
Chinese Venison with Broccoli and Sugar Snap Peas

Once again, while it’s relatively simple, it requires the ability to “think outside the box” regarding what… Continue Reading “Pecan Crusted Venison Steaks with Mustard Sauce”
Cranberry-Rubbish Muffins
One of my favorite movies is Sabrina, with Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. Audrey has always been one of my idols. Stunningly beautiful, graceful, the definition of class, and she can make a souffle out of cracker crumbs and tomato juice! There was that… Continue Reading “Cranberry-Rubbish Muffins”
Venison and Wild Pork Lasagna
I must say that I, like countless others, cannot imagine life without pasta. It simply wouldn’t be worth living. Bread, too. And anything with gluten. That said, I questioned whether or not I should even bother providing this recipe. Surely, everyone has a recipe… Continue Reading “Venison and Wild Pork Lasagna”
Waste Not Want Not
Venison Bolillo Tortas (Sandwiches) I’ve said before that, when it comes to hunting, it’s important to me to use as much of a harvested animal as possible. While my part in the hunting process is limited to preparation of the meat, I feel strongly… Continue Reading “Waste Not Want Not”
Some Days Just Scream Out for Chili-Roni
Chili-Mac with Ground Venison & Ground Pork Everyone has his/her favorite comfort food. My family loves chicken fried venison steaks with garlic mashed potatoes and cream gravy.
