I may have missed St. Patrick’s Day, but this Corned Venison recipe is great all year round! This recipe has taken some perfecting. My husband actually started trying to make his own corned venison recipe about a year ago. It was never bad but never quite hit the mark. I love him for trying.

I am here today to share what I found! Because man is it goooooood! The key to Corned Venison is the brine. You have to have a good bri ..read more

This Buffalo Pheasant Dip is the PERFECT appetizer for your super bowl parties! Who doesn’t love buffalo dip?? I’ve had this buffalo pheasant dip recipe in my recipe book for a while and I thought I had already posted it…but I was wrong! There is not a lot of white meat in the wild game spectrum. And the few species there are, I love preparing it like normal chicken. Obviously pheasant is a lot leaner than chicken, but when you boil the pheasant until tender and then continue it in the crockpot for hours with cheese-y goodness, its going to be amazing! Pheasant is just a great meat to work w ..read more

This Venison Lasagna Soup is one of the best soups I have ever made. It is just absolutely fantastic! This recipe serves about 8 people and my husband and I ate the whole thing. A lot of the flavor in this recipe comes from my Italian Sausage recipe. I cannot stress enough how good that recipe is. You can easily make this recipe in a stockpot for quicker results. However, I like my sausage to flavor up the sauce-y soup mixture for several hours. I think it creates a better flavor, but if you are in a pinch, where it says add everything to a crockpot, add it to a stockpot and bring it to a bo ..read more

This Pheasant Pozole Verde is the perfect meal to warm your insides during these cold winter months.  This recipe has been something I have wanted to try since I started this page.
