Venison Enchiladas

This recipe is dedicated to Becky Drain, a Sportsman Channel TV viewer who spotted this recipe on The Sporting Chef TV show and thought it looked like a good one. I’m not so sure that this is the exact version that Becky saw on the show, but it should be really close. If you’re short…

Striper with Vegetables

Works with any fish! Open the fridge and see what type of fresh vegetables you have on hand – perfect way to use up veggies that might turn in a day or two. Light brown the fish and cover with veggies. OK, there’s a little more to it than that, but not much.

Wild Turkey Chile Verde

Everybody’s going “green” these days. It’s the responsible thing to do. But what about green meat? Other than ‘Green Eggs and Ham” I can’t think of too many instances when green meat is a good thing…unless it’s a steamy bowl of Wild Turkey Chile Verde. That’s “Green Chile” to those of you who are new…

Parmesan Baked Halibut

This one’s not for the heart-healthy set, but it sure does taste good! It’s better with a good quality freshly grated Parmesan cheese, but the pre-shredded stuff will do. Cherry tomatoes or tomatillos work well for this too.

Grilled Salmon with Dijon Mustard Barbecue Glaze

Sweet and tangy, this honey dijon barbecue sauce recipe is perfect when you feel like a tasty break from the usual tomato-based barbecue sauce recipes.  This dijon BBQ sauce can be used as a pre-grilling marinade on chicken wings but it would taste great on grilled chicken breasts as well.

Cayley’s Balsamic Orange Venison Backstrap

I love balsamic vinegar. I marinate things in it, make reduction sauces out of it ( for salmon, halibut, etc), use it in dressings, heck, I would probably drink it, if it were a high enough quality. I ran out of my “good” balsamic, so I’m using a cheaper one from the local grocery store,…
