Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, black berries, anything with an ‘errie’ in it!” ~ Jordin Sparks Have you ever eaten something that was so good you couldn’t stop thinking about it? And then when you returned home to try and re-create the experience, all you could do was cry at the pathetic attempts you […]

Jamaican Jerk Pheasant with Coconut Rice
“Jerk is Jamaica to the bone, aromatic and smoky, sweet but insistently hot. All of its traditional ingredients grow in the island’s lush green interior: fresh ginger, thyme and scallions; Scotch bonnet peppers; and the sweet wood of the allspice tree, which burns to a fragrant smoke.” ~Julia Moskin I am a bit addicted to […]

A Perfect Combination: Parmesan and Horseradish Crusted Elk
“My favorite animal to hunt is probably elk. There’s nothing like the sound of a bugling bull splitting the cold air at first light. And that smell is unmistakable. Once you experience their musk in the wild there’s no going back! A close second would be a varmint hunt.” – Chris Pratt If I could […]
