Mulberry Pie (and other things to do with mulberries)

It’s Mulberry season here! It’s exciting because I recently found out we actually have mulberry trees (two weeks ago I took a walk around the property with a friend when we spotted a heavily loaded mulberry tree. Upon further exploration I found about 9 in various forms of development- and I still have exploring to […]

Pie Crust – From Scratch

I thought I had some great step by step photos of pie crust somewhere in my photo storage. Apparently they are buried pretty deep because I couldn’t find them – but that’s alright. Making a pie crust is very simple. Making them pretty takes practice, but even if they don’t look perfect they will still […]

Venison Rub

My kids just love this rub on their venison steaks. It’ll season 8-10lbs of meat, so store it in an old space jar after you have used it.

Crockpot Sausage and Potatoes

I actually made this with venison sausage, but considering the general population doesn’t keep that on hand…. I know it would work great with any smoked sausage.

Ingredients:

3lb potatoes, peeled and cubed 2lb smoked sausage 8oz cream cheese 10.5 oz or homemade equivalent cream of celery soup 1tb ranch dressing mix

Method

Combine potatoes […]

Ranch Dressing Mix

When I read the ingredient list on the back of my ranch dressing bottle a few years ago, that was all I needed to figure out how to make my own (we do store a few bottles to keep on hand for moments when I may not have all the necessary ingredients to make the […]

Coney Sauce for Hot Dogs

I was able to replicate my husbands favorite coney sauce. This was pretty awesome because he hasn’t been able to find anything close to the taste he kept craving – which is about two hours away.

Ingredients:

1/2 lb ground beef, browned 1/2c onion, chopped 1-1/2 c ketchup 1/4c sugar 1/4c vinegar 1/4c prepared mustard […]

Pretzel Pizza

My husband used to love getting those pretzel crust pizzas at the local pizza joint. He was so disappointed when he learned they no longer carried them. So he asked me to try my hand at making one. I’ve made soft pretzels before and figured this couldn’t be too far of a […]
