I could not stop smiling the day an email from the Outdoor Channel popped up in my inbox asking me for permission to share some of my wild game recipes on OutdoorChannel.com. Would it be OK? Um… yeah!!! My reply was much more professional, but I did let out a big old squeeeeel! And with [...]

Last week I shared some photos of my cat vs. a pheasant. Now, before you go thinking my cat Webley is a brilliant hunter and retriever (wouldn’t that be something), I do have to reiterate that she is a cat. Webley has generously brought many a “present” home, but mostly the results of her hunting escapades [...]

This is not truly a Field to Fork recipe for wild game that I am known for sharing, but sometimes you just can’t beat chicken! I also realize that to chili connoisseurs, this may not technically be a chili recipe. But to me, it fits the description. It has meat, it has beans and it’s [...]

I love the Olympic Games. It’s a celebration of sport and the amazing athletes that give it their all on the field, in stadiums, at the pool, and on the range. They may not have have stood in the spotlight like other Olympians, but members of Team USA who represented in the shooting sports have [...]

As seen on… It has been stifling hot in many areas throughout the United States. In northeast Montana we even hit well over 100 degrees! This is especially warm considering the area also records frigid temperatures well below zero in the winter months. Even with the air conditioning blasting full bore, the heat wave has [...]

I have been to Greece twice. The first time was with the USAMU traveling to Crete for the 1998 IPSC European Championships. It was on that trip that I fell in love with the food, enjoying my first Greek salad at tiny little restaurant not far from the Parthenon. Last October I had the honor [...]

I was digging around Pinterest one night and saw this. It looked positively DELISH and after a visit to TastingTable.com’s Hot Diggity post, it got me thinking about a venison dish. Last year I shared a recipe for a burgundy style deer heart inspired by french cuisine. It has been a while since I have posted a recipe, but [...]

Living in northeastern Montana, I don’t exactly have many gourmet hot spots to frequent. Since moving here cooking has become a necessity, but it is also a hobby I enjoy. It also allows me to combine my love of hunting with experimenting in the kitchen. I call my recipes my “Field To Fork” creations. My [...]

My name is Julie and I am addicted to pho.  I could eat it every day.  For those of you who haven’t had it, pho is a Vietnamese rice noodle soup.   There are lots of variations but my favorite is a beef broth version with a shavings of sirloin.  So, I know what you’re thinking.  [...]

I love Montana, but… Living in what some would consider a “remote” area, there isn’t a huge variety of fresh seafood coming in to the upper corner of this beloved landlocked state. Problem – I was craving Manhattan Clam Chowder the other day.  Unlike New England Clam Chowder, that you can easily find canned in [...]

Several friends have encouraged me to share dishes I have made with venison.  Let’s face it, it’s not something you often see in your typical cookbook.  I don’t profess to be a chef by any means, but I do enjoy finding new ways to make the meat in the freezer even more delicious. I got [...]
