We didn’t have lemon squares growing up. It’s one of the few things Mum didn’t make. She’d have loved them. Or at least I think she would have. Making them seemed a little daunting at first. Make the base. Blend the lemon top. Bake it again. What if I over…
Venison. Tacos. Soup. What’s not to drool over. Put the three together on a cold winter day, and I’m a happy girl with a bowl of Venison Taco Soup. I used ground moose for this recipe. It also works well with deer, caribou, bear and other ground wild game, and…
Mid-January. It’s time for Honey Fried Fish. The ice started forming early this winter, and ice fishing looked promising for the January 1 opening day. Hopes were dashed when the temperature rose and the wind kicked up, taking the ice out. It’s back but the Maine Warden Service pilot flew…

This is not my recipe. I’m not sure it’s Mum’s recipe but it’s the Chocolate Dump Bars I grew up on. These bars mix up in one bowl, are spread into a 9″ x 13″ pan, and have few ingredients. If you’re in a rush, need something for snack after…
Regular pancakes made with highly processed white flour are delicious. They are. There’s no denying that.
