Why did I ever buy canned enchilada sauce? And how come no one ever told me that making your own enchilada sauce was so easy? Doesn’t anyone love me? Don’t you think I had a right to know? Thank goodness for Secret Recipe Club! This month I was assigned cook with Sara, a Midwestern girl […]
I frequently hear from people that they struggle making their own sausages, regardless if they process and grind their own wild game or get ground meat from a processor. The chief complaint is the meat is gamey or dry/poor texture. I can empathize. My sausage making has been a ‘want to do/failure/sometimes okay/randomly good’ cycle. […]
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 […]
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 […]
I am so not trendy, seems like when ever everybody is into something, I’m like, “meh”. Just look at my wardrobe… For example the whole five minute artisan bread, I didn’t post anything like that until this post in December. Here I go again… Last year the Charcuterie was all over the blogosphere, there were […]
No, I’m not having any holiday confusion. I know it’s St. Valentine’s Day but it is also The Daring Cooks challenge for this month…patties! Get it…Saint Valentine’s Day, Patties…heart shaped patty? The Daring Cooks’ February 2012 challenge was hosted by Audax & Lis and they chose to present Patties for their ease of construction, ingredients […]
Can you believe Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner? If you’ve been keeping up on the latest food blog postings, you probably already picked up on the trend of latest Mexican inspired meals. My tacos aren’t trendy but they are delicious! I actually wasn’t sure if tacos were really Mexican or another American […]
I’m the head cook in the family, but that doesn’t mean I’m the only cook. When McGyver and I were dating, he was a self-sustaining bachelor. I don’t mean he would pick up pre-made dishes or do take out, he could actually cook. Not gourmet but well enough. My all time favorite recipe of his, […]
I actually made this on Sunday, I didn’t want to leave and not have a big pot of something to hold McGyver and Baby Boy over for a couple days. You know, something a little more nutritious then take-out and pizza. And actually this isn’t really boeuff it’s venison because we’re a Montanan family. Venison […]
