Well, I would really call it soup, but my husband frowns at soup, so stew it is. Plus, he eats it over rice 🍛and I slurp it out of a bowl 🥣. We have a freezer full of walleye currently, … Continue reading Thai Coconut Curry Walleye Stew
Nothing says spring like fresh local asparagus. The season is about done here and the grocery store stock later on will not be as tender, probably because it’s picked too early wherever it comes from. Our local asparagus, even when … Continue reading Grilled Shrimp and Spring Orzo
My favorite way to use the slow cooker is on the high setting, where I can count on meats not being dried out and flavorless. That’s what I find happens when you cook meat for 8-10 hours while you are … Continue reading Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken
Maybe this is mostly a meatball recipe, because the stuff you put in your noodle bowls, other than the noodles, doesn’t need to be prescribed—it’s more likely to be directed by what’s available at your grocery on any given day. … Continue reading Miso Ramen Noodle Bowls with Pheasant Meatballs
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

This has become one of my go-to side dishes when I am grilling in the summer. I guess I could make it, too, on the grill in a cast iron skillet, but I make it in the kitchen while the … Continue reading Quick Sauteed Broccoli
This sauce is a nice change from tomato sauce—actually, we hardly ever eat tomato sauce, but we’re not normal. The roasted pepper sauce is mild and sweet, but if your peppers are red, you might just fool your family into … Continue reading Baked Rice with Roasted Pepper Sauce
First, I have a hard time calling Memorial Day a holiday, having had a parent die in a war, but while it’s not all fireworks and getting drunk around here, I do make food like I would make for any … Continue reading Dishing Out the Holiday Food
