I’m a pizza girly through and through. We end up eating some variation of pizza roughly once a week, and lately I’ve been making it with my sourdough discard. It’s delicious, affordable, and I know exactly what goes into the crust of my pizza. So long additives and ingredients I can’t pronounce. Give this oneContinue reading “Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough”

BBQ Wild Turkey Sandwiches
Considering we don’t buy meat from the grocery store anymore, I now have to transform wild game meat in a way that I can still use my old recipes. These BBQ Wild Turkey Sandwiches are no exception. Rather than pulled pork, I substituted in shredded wild turkey legs which works surprisingly well. Texture is theContinue reading “BBQ Wild Turkey Sandwiches”
Roasted Garlic Hummus
Hummus is one of my favorite snacks, but I’ve always been weary when buying from the grocery store. There are so many unnecessary ingredients that are added to hummus that’s been prepared to sell at grocery stores. When making it at home, I know exactly what goes into it, which makes me feel better. AsContinue reading “Roasted Garlic Hummus”
Venison Chorizo
I’ve always loved the flavor of chorizo sausage but since Connor & I don’t buy meat from the grocery store anymore, I’ve definitely been missing it. I had a few extra packages of ground venison in the freezer, so I thought I’d try my hand at making venison chorizo. This recipe is full of flavorContinue reading “Venison Chorizo”
Bear Chili
I was FINALLY able to get my hands on some bear meat so naturally the first thing I cooked was bear chili. Due to the possibility of trichinosis (a food-bourne disease caused by the parasite called Trichinella), in the meat, bear must be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Therefore, I try to incorporateContinue reading “Bear Chili”
Homemade Maple Pecan Granola
This past Christmas I decided to make a lot of the gifts I gave to my family. One of the goodies I included in the basket was this homemade maple pecan granola. It was a hit! Since making granola, Connor and I have stopped buying cereal at the store. We’ve wanted to make this switchContinue reading “Homemade Maple Pecan Granola”
Hearty Gnocci & Lengua Soup
Yes, lengua is another name for tongue and yes I know a lot of people are disgusted with the idea of eating tongue. I can understand this view on eating a muscle like the tongue, however, Connor and I really try to eat as much of an animal as possible. Tongue is no exception! TheContinue reading “Hearty Gnocci & Lengua Soup”
Garlic Green Beans
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”
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”
