First-Time Tamales
I guess I did wait a long time to try my hand at tamales—I’m 70—but I have thought about them a lot. I just never did much steaming and that is what kind of kept me away from them, that … Continue reading First-Time Tamales

Apple Pie for Thanksgiving
It’s way past Thanksgiving, but I did save the pics from baking the apple pie—Whew! I decided that I was kind of tired of the traditional pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. We weren’t having turkey, either, so tradition was kind of … Continue reading Apple Pie for Thanksgiving
Creamy Walleye Scramble, For One
I may never eat scrambled eggs again without cream cheese! Even though the fillets were small at less than 3 oz, each, two were too many for me, and three eggs was too much. Still, I persevered 😉 Continue reading Creamy Walleye Scramble, For One
Roasting the Sides
Yesterday was just another hamburger day, but the sides made it more than ordinary—roasted spaghetti squash and onion straws. Usually I roast this kind of squash in halves, cut side down in an inch of water for a half hour, … Continue reading Roasting the Sides
Sour Cream Carrot Breakfast Muffins
I know it seems too soon to post another muffin recipe, but the Tropical Muffins are gone, because my husband was eating them two and three at a time. Well, these are not so sweet, with only half the sugar, … Continue reading Sour Cream Carrot Breakfast Muffins

Venison Empanadas
This recipe makes eight large empanadas—I’m freezing four for later—but you could easily make smaller, snack-sized empanadas. I used half venison and half ground beef in the filling, but you could substitute any other ground meat combination, or even a … Continue reading Venison Empanadas
Pecan Sandies
We used to love the popular commercial version of this cookie, but they changed the recipe years ago, like so many other popular foods did, and ruined them. This recipe comes pretty close to what we remember, and it doesn’t … Continue reading Pecan Sandies
Chewy Cherry Pecan Cookies
This cookie is pretty much like your favorite chewy chocolate chip cookie, but with dried cherries and pecans. I have both unsweetened dried Bing cherries and unsweetened dried tart Montmorency cherries; either would make a good cookie, but with all … Continue reading Chewy Cherry Pecan Cookies
Venison Lasagna Bolognese
The first dish from the buck my husband harvested this fall. This lasagna is a tale of two sauces—a bolognese ragù and béchamel. Neither sauce is difficult to make and the ragù in particular can be made the day or … Continue reading Venison Lasagna Bolognese
