Great Venison Cooking

Archive for the ‘Venison Appetizers’ Category

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.

I’ll tell you, I’m really looking forward to some protein! Read the rest of this entry »
