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 [...]

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 [...]

Love to hear what you think! Kimchi Venison Meatloaf 2 shallots [...]

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.  [...]

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 [...]
