Every now and then the supermarket has some slightly different products. The other day our local market had ground bison and so we made the quick decision to make bison sausage. It is estimated that somewhere between 20 to 30 million bison once dominated the North American landscape. Habitat loss and unregulated shooting reduced the population […]
Chicken, Pork, Beef & Other Meats
Roasted Duck Breast with Wheat Berries, Roasted Cauliflower, Carrot, Pea Puree & Citrus Jus
We often buy a whole duck and then break it down for several meals. By doing it this way, we are also able to have a good supply of duck stock and duck fat (for roasting). Even if you are just buying the duck breast you can still keep the rendered fat for a future […]
Quick Pickled Ramps
In April we went foraging for wild ramps. We came home with a good selection and used them to make pasta and also ate them on toast. We had enough left over that we could use some in a simple pickling recipe and then put them aside. Now, even in the summertime, we are enjoying […]
Cornish Game Hens with Lime & Mint Sauce
One of our favorite parts about summer is utilizing all the herbs in our raised beds. We don’t have a huge backyard (or as one of us would say, garden), but we love the space we have, and have managed to get four raised beds and a patio out of it and made it such […]
Edamame Pecan Pesto with Turkey Pancetta Meatballs
We like to think of our cookbooks as reference material (this helps us justify buying them just because). Something we use for inspiration. We have seemed to accumulate quite a few and, although we sit with them every day, we do not always open them up. We have decided to make an effort to cook […]

Lamb Mechoui – Lamb with Moroccan Spices
Still reminiscing about our recent trip to England, we miss the fresh lamb we could get from the local butcher. It is so easy to find there and back home…not so much. When we do come across it we tend to get carried away. This is a great family dish that we make in our […]
Homemade Sausage, Pork Belly & Sweet Pepper Casserole
Every now and then we really try to use everything we have in the freezer before buying anything new. We get all geared up and inventory what is inside and then make some recipe plans to be used with what we discover. Tonight we were using up some homemade cambridgeshire sausage. The idea of a […]
