Recipes posted a year ago: Thanksgiving (actually a post with lots of links) Garlic Roasted Brussels Sprouts This recipe started out as a crispy hashbrown "cake" (something like a Rösti) that failed to crisp in the pan. There were a lot of reasons (too much potato, not having a well-seasoned iron pan), but rather than … Continue reading Sweet Potato Hashbrown Casserole

Creamy Morel Chicken
Growing up, I can remember spring was a busy time. The snow was finally melting, and there was a ton of work to take care of cleaning up everything that had been hiding under that snow for months. It was also a time to be outside and enjoying weather that wasn't snow for a change - … Continue reading Creamy Morel Chicken
Portabello Elk Backstraps with Tapenade Sauce
When it comes to wild game meat, there are few things more coveted than the backstrap on a big game animal.¹ While cuts like the round and the flank are excellent, the loin (the muscle running along either side of the spine on the outside of the animal) is one of the most tender and flavorful … Continue reading Portabello Elk Backstraps with Tapenade Sauce
Daube with Mushrooms and Shallots
Daube (pronounced "dobe" - long "o" sound, silent "e") is French for meat stew. There are many variations on how to cook this. We used the handy Crockpot again and it turned out delicious! The beef did marinate in wine for a day, although you could marinate it overnight or as little as four hours … Continue reading Daube with Mushrooms and Shallots
Stir Fried Pork with Asparagus
This recipe was my first time using coconut aminos in place of tamari. While I can't say it is an exact replacement for soy-sauce, combining it with other ingredients in a marinade or stir-fry sauce is pretty tasty...and soy free too! As for the recipe, it's intended to be like most other stir-fry meals - grab … Continue reading Stir Fried Pork with Asparagus

Today is the 31st anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. That has absolutely nothing to do with this recipe whatsoever, but just thought I would share 🙂 Here in the Pacific NW it is a big deal to ask, "where were you when the mountain blew?" Well, according to my mom, I was in … Continue reading Brazilian Chicken Curry

Stuffed Portobella Mushrooms
What is the difference between a portobella mushroom, a cremini mushroom, and a white button mushroom (all of which are readily available at your local produce market)? Nothing...except maturity, and perhaps as much as $3 or $4 per pound. They are the same species - just harvested at different stages of their growth cycle. But unless … Continue reading Stuffed Portobella Mushrooms
Turkey Noodle Stir Fry
Usually, when you glance through your typical Asian restaurant menu, most dishes come with either noodles or rice...and all too often if you ask for them to "hold the noodles," you end up with a meal that is about half the size it should be (because those noodles are a cheap filler), but for the … Continue reading Turkey Noodle Stir Fry
