The other day Connor & his friends came home from a walk in the woods with a bountiful amount of blackberries & blueberries. Berries can be expensive at the store and you just can’t compete with the flavor of fresh berries. Connor suggested I try my hand at making jam. I knew I wanted toContinue reading “Homemade Blackberry Jam”

Air Fryer Buffalo Wings
I’ve always been a sucker for buffalo wings but they’re not always fun to eat out. They’re messy, spicy, and can be super expensive! For a long time, I didn’t know that you could buy fresh drumettes & wingettes at the grocery store, but when I saw them on sale one day it opened upContinue reading “Air Fryer Buffalo Wings”
Tortellini Caprese Salad
The summer is my favorite time to experiment with sides because they pair so well with something fresh off the grill. One of my favorite summer side dishes happens to be caprese salad. As much as I’d like to, I know I can’t have caprese salad 5 out of 7 days in the week. That’sContinue reading “Tortellini Caprese Salad”
Wild Turkey Cubano
My inspiration for this sandwich is the “El Cubano” from one of my favorite restaurants in coastal mid-coast Maine. I don’t venture over there often, but when I do I make sure I pick up one of these sandwiches while I’m there. Home Kitchen Café makes their own bread from scratch and handcrafts each andContinue reading “Wild Turkey Cubano”
Sesame Wild Turkey
Wild turkey is by far my favorite game meat and as a bonus I think it’s also one of the easiest wild meats to cook. Wild turkey breasts can be directly substituted for chicken breasts because the meat, while typically a bit tougher, cooks the same way as breasts bought from the grocery store. OneContinue reading “Sesame Wild Turkey”

Slow-Cooked Wild Turkey Leg “Birria-Style” Tacos
Cooking wild turkey legs has traditionally been thought of as hard work with very little reward. However, I’m here to assure you that these tacos are well worth saving that meat. Even better?

Asian Sesame Sea Duck
For those of you who don’t know, sea ducks are renowned for being difficult to prepare and tasting much like what they eat: mollusks (clams and mussels), crustaceans, and occasionally small fish. 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”
Pumpkin Pie Martini
If you like pumpkin pie, you’ll fall head over heals for this martini. Flavors of pumpkin, cinnamon, and cream come together to give the impression that you’re literally drinking pumpkin pie. I’ve been trying to fully embrace the fall spirit and with that obviously comes ALL THINGS FALL. This is my first time experimenting withContinue reading “Pumpkin Pie Martini”
