Valentine’s Weekend: Grand Marnier Zabaglione

This is the first time ever I made zabaglione, or sabayon (French). I was looking around to see what I could do with my egg yolks after making meringues with the whites. I found an answer pretty quickly. And it is crazy delicious! So it’s a hot dessert so it should be served immediately after [...]

Valentine’s Weekend: Cupcake Meringues

Let’s kick off the weekend with two desserts in two different posts. Starting off with meringues. Hard whipped egg whites and sugar in perfect harmony. The blend: 2 egg whites ½ cup of sugar Make sure your eggs are room temperature, or leave them out of the fridge for about 30 minutes. This will allow [...]

Deer Round Roast

Another experimental venison recipe, this time a round roast. Let me tell you the results and then explain how it was made: the meat was so tender, almost like butter melting in your mouth. It was amazing! Here’s what I used: One deer round roast, about 1 lbs 5 tbs olive oil 1 tsp garlic [...]

Chunky Vegetable Stew

Tasty chunky vegetable dish, perfect for this cold weather. Takes about 20 minutes including preparations. Here’s what I used: 5-6 green onions 1 zucchini 14oz canned tomatoes 4 celery stalks 1 red bell pepper salt, pepper to taste garlic powder handful of parsley 1 tbs dried tarragon Start out with chopping up the green onions [...]

Delicious Chile

My chile always seems as if it could be called bolognese, and maybe it can? I like it though, my friends like it and my family likes it. So whatever I am doing I am doing it right, I guess I just never put a correct name to it! I do cook it more Italian [...]

Oven Steamed Shrimp

There’s a snow storm in DC and it’s empty in the grocery stores. Literally, no produce left on the shelves. It is crazy over here. I was hoping to get some vegetables but was left with whatever was in my fridge for this weekend (and Super Bowl Sunday!!) Anyway, I saw a nice oven steamed [...]

Baby Red Hash Brownes With Fried Onions

The colder the morning the warmer the food. Although I didn’t have these for breakfast they still fit in the previous sentence. It is indeed cold today and it calls for warm breakfast and lunch. Fast and classic hash brownes with fried onions, really good. I promise. I got inspired watching Alton Brown making his [...]

Gluten Free Venison Meatloaf

Last night we were watching Gordon Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares and one of the restaurant owners favourite dish was mentioned: meatloaf. I love meatloaf. And I haven’t had it in forever, so I decided to make it the following day – today! My recipe: 1 lbs ground venison ½ yellow onion 2 eggs ½ cup gluten [...]

Battered Flounder

I really like working with fish and seafood. It can be smelly, but it’s easy and fast. And very rewarding. Last night I mixed together a batter and battered some flounder fillets to make some really good crispy fish. For this you will need: 4 flounder fillets half a cup of corn flour 1 tbs [...]

Venison Skewers, Lemon & Parsley Rice

Last night we decided to throw a small dinner party for our family. My American family that is. Which means I can’t go too exotic. I’ve wanted to broil skewers for a few days now and what an opportunity this was! I rushed home after a long day out and about and started preparing the [...]
