In addition to the Shrimp & Broad Noodles recipe I’ve posted, this is another inspiration dish from Empire Chinese Kitchen. Their garlic green bean appetizer is to die for and since the restaurant is over an hour away from my house, it was time to try to replicate it. After a couple tries, I thinkContinue reading “Garlic Green Beans”

Barbeque Venison Ribs
For the first time this past deer season, Connor brought home the ribs on the deer he was fortunate enough to shoot. I’ve always enjoyed ribs that I’ve bought from the grocery store, so I was thrilled to try venison ribs! I added a dry rub to these to flavor during the initial cook, andContinue reading “Barbeque Venison Ribs”
Brown Butter Seared Scallops
I always used to prefer fried seafood until I tried brown butter seared scallops at a Lobster & Ale restaurant I used to waitress at. I’ve been obsessed with them ever since, so much so that I knew I had to recreate them at home, and for half the price! Here’s my take on theseContinue reading “Brown Butter Seared Scallops”
Shrimp & Broad Noodles
Asian food is by far one of my favorite cuisines and I’m always experimenting in ways I can make “take-out style” dishes at home. Whenever my oldest sister visits Maine we ALWAYS stop for take-out at Empire Chinese Kitchen in Portland. They have the best food, but one of our favorite dishes is called “BeefContinue reading “Shrimp & Broad Noodles”
Maple Bourbon Porcupine Burgers
The first time I gave porcupine a try, I was less than pleased. Porcupines are herbivores which means that they feed on plants and trees. During the winter, they feed off the bark and needles of conifer trees which can leave the meat with a “piney” taste. My first attempt at cooking porcupine looked aContinue reading “Maple Bourbon Porcupine Burgers”
Wild Turkey Sloppy Joes
I’m always trying to invent new ways that I can use the leg meat on wild turkeys, so when our friend Will came over for dinner and suggested sloppy joes, the gears started turning in my head. I realized this would be a great way to use the leg meat. Slow cooked for 8 hoursContinue reading “Wild Turkey Sloppy Joes”
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”
Caprese Burgers w/ Cubed Cajun Sweet Potatoes
And just like that..summer is here! Long, hot days paired with the countless possibilities for cocktails and summer fare, make summer one of my favorite seasons of the year. In Maine, you can count on three solid months of good weather, so us Mainers make these months count! Let’s celebrate the heat with these capreseContinue reading “Caprese Burgers w/ Cubed Cajun Sweet Potatoes”
Wild Turkey Pot Pie
Spring turkey season is here and it’s time to put that meat to good use. This recipe is the PERFECT use of that breast meat. My recipe uses wild turkey, a homemade turkey gravy along with a flaky pie crust. There’s nothing like putting a dish on the table that is naturally harvested. You’ll beContinue reading “Wild Turkey Pot Pie”
