I’m just about done with last season’s pheasant supply in the freezer. Last year, I made just about every type of pheasant meatball I could think of, so I’ve tried to find some other things to do with it this … Continue reading Coconut Pheasant Satay
My taco meatballs are made with venison and pork, but you could substitute your favorite meatball ingredients. It all started with a box of black bean spaghetti, which is made with nothing but black beans. I’m always looking for ways … Continue reading Taco Meatballs and Black Bean Spaghetti
Lots of substitutions can be made to make this recipe your own. Oven-roasted plum tomatoes from last summer’s garden were the highlight in my sauce. They keep well in the freezer and, when thawed, are still moist and lightly coated … Continue reading Quick Blender Pizza Sauce

Yes, I finally found skirt steak at the grocery, so I’m trying out the Serious Eats recipe, mostly because the marinade/salsa looks so tasty. Luckily there are just two of us and the little under-1 lb package will do. Even … Continue reading Carne Asada with Skirt Steak, Pt. 1
Still one more orange recipe, because I have just a little orange juice left, plus one of the oranges from the previous featured post photo. This is not about brining or marinating, although the finished dish includes the leftover marinated … Continue reading Orange Coconut Curry Sauce
