I really wish that I could share a taste of the food that I post about it; a taste replaces a thousand words. Sometimes I struggle trying to articulate how incredible a recipe is. I find myself consistently falling back on yummy, delicious, tasty, awesome, etc. Sometimes I get so desperate that I make up […]

Venison Lo Mein
Who loves Chinese take-out? I do, I do! Actually I love Chinese take-out, Chinese to-go, Chinese sit-down, and on rare occasion a good Chinese buffet. What I don’t love is super greasy Chinese, which seems to be the standard in my local area. We recently had a decent Chinese restaurant called Umami open downtown; it’s […]
Pressure Cooker Elk Steak Pizzaiola over Pine Nut Pearl Couscous
Last month for Secret Recipe Club I got Mangia! an Italian blog. I was so excited, any excuse to make Italian food is fine with me. Then I made Double Chocolate Almond Joy Pretzel cookies. So not Italian, but oh so delicious. For my assignment this month I got Cookin with Moxie, Jamie lives in […]
Hearty Spring Pasta
I’ve decided that Mother Nature is either a manic depressive or severely PMSing during the spring. She’s definitely a moody one, especially in Montana. Maybe it’s because she loves us so much that it incurs this severe differences in our days (you know the saying, you hurt the ones you love the most). For […]
Coffee, Juniper Berry, and Anise Crusted Venison Loin
I was so happy when I got my assignment this month for Secret Recipe Club! I was assigned Tandy from Lavender and Lime. First off I’m a fan of citrus, and she obviously is too, it’s right there in her title. Tandy is from South Africa, two years ago McGyver and I went on a […]
Flounder Olympia with a Panko Crust
Recently I came into an obscene amount of dill! I mentioned in my last post (Deviled Ham Stuffed Eggs) that I had been preparing so many dishes with dill that I thought that perhaps McGyver and I might end up being pickled. I even tried my hand at pickling some radishes and carrots (we’ll […]
Meyer Lemon and Sprouted Pesto
It may be winter outside but it’s spring in my house. My garden last summer was a total disaster, I obviously had no clue what I was doing and while I was gone for 5 months, let’s just say that McGyver and Thing 2 didn’t give it much attention. I yielded a couple of radishes […]
Homemade Pasta–Goose Confit and Ricotta Ravioli
Inspiration comes from many places. I never dreamed that a challenge from another blogger would get me going, I mean really going. Simone over at Junglefrog Cooking, set out a challenge for this month to make something homemade. As in, not a homemade meal, but rather something homemade that you would normally purchase, such as […]
Chile Rellenos
In my post on Monday, I shared that I really wanted to make Jen’s Chile Relleno’s for SRC, but it was a guest post on someone else’s blog so I went with her “Dad’s Homemade Pizza Crust”. My reason for wanting to make the rellenos are that they are McGyver’s all time favorite Mexican food. […]
‘Dad’s Pizza Dough’ topped with Goose Prosciutto, Goat Cheese, Brussels Sprout & Roasted Garlic Sauce
‘Dad’s pizza dough’ topped with Goose prosciutto, Brussels sprouts, goat cheese and roasted garlic sauce could possibly be the longest recipe title ever. And I left out the caramelized onions! This amazing pizza is brought to you by the Secret Recipe Club. Each month members are assigned another blog, the member selects a […]
