Great Venison Cooking

Author Archive

Happy New Year! What a great start to 2012. We spent a quiet evening with a few friends, who devoured the two venison appetizers I brought to the party. Nothing makes a cook happier then people licking the plate clean!

The only thing these two appetizers have in common is that I used venison in them. Other than that, they are completely different tastes. Not surprisingly, the men had finished off the Dill Bacon Bites practically before I’d set the tray on the table. The ladies drifted toward the onion tarts.

I’ve posted both of these recipes on my Backyard Grocery site because I took pains to make sure I was using only local ingredients in them (that’s usually the criteria for posting a venison recipe on that site versus this one). So pop on over to check out the recipes: Dill Bacon Bites and Root Beer Onion Tarts.

Happy New Year! Welcome to this week’s Game On, where other people can share what they’re doing with the Wild Game in their pantry. Venison, elk, bear, salmon, bass, squirrel…you get the picture. If you’re blogging about wild game, there are readers here who want to know about it. In fact, if you have any blog related to hunting, fishing, cooking game, or even cooking food that food eats (aka, home grown produce), share your favorite blogs. Read the “rules” here, and click on the Linky List link below to share your wisdom. I look forward to discovering many great blogs this week.

All of my favorite food bloggers have been recapping their top recipes for 2011, and that made me curious about what my top 10 list is. I look at my google analytics frequently, mostly to see if the pulled venison BBQ sandwich is keeping it’s spot at #1 (it is). But I’ve never made a list of the most viewed recipes. Until now. Here it is, the top 10 most frequently viewed recipes on this venison recipe site. Note, these are the top recipes. Some of my other posts and pages get more views (especially the field dressing tutorials and the cooking tutorials). But the recipes are my favorite, so that’s what I’m recapping here. What are your favorites?
