Butchering the Front Quarters and Backstraps of a Deer

January 6, 2020January 13, 2020 katehosie

Last year I managed to take photos of *most* of the process of butchering a deer. Butchering doesn’t include the hanging, skinning, gutting, that’s all done before and I’m usually at home with the boys while he does that. Mac has expressed interest in helping with it this coming fall which is neat as he’s always had a healthy fear of large animals, even when they’re dead.

Sausage Lentil Soup

March 12, 2017January 17, 2020 katehosie

Theres something about Sausage Lentil Soup I just love. It’s comfort in a bowl. The ingredients are so darn simple, almost as if the finished product is more than a sum of its part. I love when that happens. If you want to stretch your efforts farther, add another cup of lentils and another quart of broth, it’ll be less sausage-y but just as delicious. And more frugal!

Korean Style Venison is a twist on a recipe I found at The Elliott Homestead. I’m not sure it gets easier than this for a ridiculously tasty dinner? Six ingredients and ready in 15 minutes plus cooked rice! You could use canned stew meat or canned ground meat, and any other thawed or fresh ground meat other than venison. We ate it with local sugar snap peas that were delish!
