Country Fried Fingers. No they are not fingers of country folk, but they are definitely country fried delicious. Basically it is country fried steaks sliced into nice finger strips. When you have a 3 year old staying with you, you try to come up with ‘kid’ friendly foods. I didn’t want to serve the standard American kid […]

Not a Bacon Cheeseburger
Yet another trip up to the cabin. Seriously that’s what we wanted, a place we could drive too and get away. Of course the idea was to relax also, but not yet. Not for awhile. However, progress is moving along nicely. Our neighbor Jeff has been busy keeping up with my whims. It’s starting to […]
Steak with Grilled Jalapeno and Pineapple
It’s 4:oo am and I smell a camp fire, but then I hear sirens….close sirens……….really close sirens……… I drag myself out of be and look out my bedroom window and I see smoke billowing out from behind our garage. I grab my hoody, my camera, leave the dog inside and putter out to see, with […]
Basic Marinara
First let me start off showing you what a spring day in Montana looks like. Don’t cha wish you lived here too? That’s the thing about the Northern Tundra, you could get snow in any month of the year. But when summer does come, and it’s not to hot and not to cold and there […]
Rack of Lamb with Rosemary and Thyme
Some things are just worth it! If you’ve never tried rack of lamb put it on your bucket list because it’s a must do! I didn’t get my lamb from an organic store or from a butcher or local sheep farmer, I just bought it from Sam’s Club. It’s New Zealand lamb and it was […]

Corned Beef and Roasted Cabbage, Carrots and Potatoes
I love, love, love corned beef and cabbage. It makes my Irish eyes smile, okay, I’m not exactly Irish. I am for one day of the year, nothing wrong in a little role playing. I even wear Kiss me I’m Irish shirts, I figured I can easily pull it off with red hair and hazel […]
Aunt Louanna’s BBQ Beef Brisket
I’m staying in a hotel this week so I’m not cooking, but I have a few recipes that I put in my computer memory banks for times just like these. To tell the truth, I debating on whether to share this recipe. It is a family recipe and there is something to be said for […]
Boeuf Bourguignon
I actually made this on Sunday, I didn’t want to leave and not have a big pot of something to hold McGyver and Baby Boy over for a couple days. You know, something a little more nutritious then take-out and pizza. And actually this isn’t really boeuff it’s venison because we’re a Montanan family. Venison […]
Steak au Poivre

Chantel is also an outstanding cook, and I am honored that she is sharing one of her favorite cookbooks. I read the book cover to cover, and couldn’t wait […]
