Homemade Boursin-style Cheese

Boursin cheese was something I had never heard of until we asked the lady behind the deli counter what that delicious cheese was in our sandwiches. We wanted to replicate the sandwich at home, without paying the $7 per sandwich. That cheese was the only thing we were stumped on. When I found that cheese […]

Chicken Nuggets

I have made many chicken nugget recipes over the years. Some have been good, but not exactly what we have been looking for. I have been trying, in some way, to come close or top the nuggets that are so loved by kids. Something I can make in bulk and have on […]

Venison Jerky

When I was younger, I remember my dad making routine stops at a meat shop to pick up jerky. It was our special treat, a taste I grew up with. I have always wanted to try making it but never had enough “extra” meat to feel comfortable loosing a few pounds to a snack. We […]

Venison Barley Soup

Ingredients:

1-3/4c flour 2ts baking powder 1ts baking soda 1/2ts salt 1/2 c butter, room temperature 3/4c maple syrup 1c […]

Honey Blueberry Muffins

These were a big hit with both the adults and the kids. I found them to be satisfyingly sweet without being sickeningly sweet, moist and all around delicious. You can use whole wheat or all purpose flour. I used coconut oil but vegetable oil would work fine, too. Switch out the fruits for different tastes, […]

Whole Wheat Applesauce Muffins (no sugar)

My kids have been on a muffin craze lately. I am always so disappointed at these delicious looking muffins that have high levels of sugar in them. I am not a fan of lots of sugar, so we seek out alternative sweeteners. If you are used to very, very sweet things, you may find these […]
