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 [...]

Venison Meatballs

Let’s make meatballs, Swedish style, with venison. I love foresty food. Anything that tastes and smells like the forest. Venison goes so well with those flavours, spices and aromas.
