There are generally three categories of duck: Puddle, Diver, and Sea. Puddle ducks include: Teal, Pintail, Wood, Mallard, etc. Diver ducks include: Bufflehead,Continue reading “Asian Sesame Sea Duck”

Tomato Parmesan Tortellini Soup
Out of all the soups I’ve experimented with, I think this is by far the best soup I’ve ever cooked. This hearty soup will be on heavy rotation during the winter months at your house, I promise! With tortellini, sweet (or hot if you prefer!) sausage, and a delicious creamy tomato parmesan base, I thinkContinue reading “Tomato Parmesan Tortellini Soup”
Maple Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
During the Autumn months, I turn to soup as one of my favorite dishes. It’s warm, comforting, and the perfect comfort food as the days begin to get shorter and the nights much colder. I’ve made butternut squash soup without roasting it AND without adding the sweet component of maple syrup and I often findContinue reading “Maple Roasted Butternut Squash Soup”
Spaghetti Squash on the Half Shell
Spaghetti Squash is one of my favorite squash’s to cook with. When cooked, the squash has an incredibly unique texture that almost exactly replicates cooked pasta. I discovered this fruit (weird I know!) two years ago and haven’t stopped using it as a healthy alternative to its starchy counterpart. In this recipe, I replicated aContinue reading “Spaghetti Squash on the Half Shell”
Venison Mini Tacos
As we move into summer, sometimes it can be difficult to figure out light and summary ways to prepare venison. If you’re like Connor & I, venison in the winter means stews, pasta dishes, and roasts. However, as we transition into summer, it’s important to remember that venison is perfect for any season. My VenisonContinue reading “Venison Mini Tacos”

Uramaki Seafood Tempura Sushi Roll
Sushi absolutely was NOT something in my diet more than a couple years ago. I wouldn’t even look at it after a bad experience when I was little. However, I went to a happy hour at a sushi and steak house with my good friend while in college and she ordered shrimp tempura sushi. IContinue reading “Uramaki Seafood Tempura Sushi Roll”
Creamy Scallop Vegetable Penne
My favorite thing to do in the kitchen is just to see what I have for ingredients and then dream something up as I go. I love alfredo, but often times I find it too rich. I prefer to add tomatoes to help cut through the richness of the heavy cream and parmesan and that’sContinue reading “Creamy Scallop Vegetable Penne”
Ultimate Wedding Soup
One of my favorite things to eat when it’s cold outside is soup. There’s something about cozying up on the couch with a blanket and a cup of soup that’s so relaxing. I’ve always been obsessed with Italian Wedding Soup, and I wanted to create a spin-off of the classic original. Instead of meatballs, thisContinue reading “Ultimate Wedding Soup”

This was the first time I’d ever eaten duck and to have it be locally harvested? Even better. I’m so fortunate to have wild game available to me, and this is the perfect recipe for duck breasts. Tender, flavorful, and super easy, this is a must try for all you wild game enthusiasts! Wild gameContinue reading “Bacon Wrapped Wood Duck Poppers”
