Venison Pot Roast

Venison Pot Roast

Avid hunter?
Looking for a new and
delicious way to serve venison?
Then give this recipe a try....
Made in a slow cooker,
venison becomes tender and very flavorful.

In culinary terms,
"Venison" can be meat from
Deer, Elk, Moose,
Caribou and Antelope.

Elk and Moose have a mild, almost sweet, beef flavor while
Deer venison has a more gamey flavor and is very lean.
This recipe calls for a venison roast but
you can substitute a beef roast or
any other "venison" roast if you prefer.

This recipe needs to cook in the slow cooker for 8-10 hours,
making it the perfect "make ahead" meal,
for those busy Saturdays filled with winter fun.
You and your family,
will come home to the wonderful aroma of this delicious roast cooking.

Happy Valentine's Day~

I hope you had a great Valentine's Day~
I spent the day with my hubby and grandson,
my two favorite guys.
We started the day off with a breakfast of
pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs...

It was an extremely frigid day here in Northern WI,
with wind chills dipping to -12.
We decided to hibernate today and
stayed in our pj's all day.

We made chocolate chip cookies and had pizza.
I had some pizza dough in my freezer and
homemade pizza it was.

Since it was Valentine's Day.....
Why not make a Heart Shaped Pizza~

Kitchen Tip: How to Strain Yogurt

How to strain Yogurt and Why?
Straining yogurt is not only fast and easy to do,
the"after"results are well worth it.

Why?
The reason for straining yogurt is a simple one:
When you strain the liquid or whey from yogurt,
you reduce the liquid, therefore minimizing
the amount of liquid in a recipe.
Strained yogurt adds a creamier and
richer texture to recipes.
Another bonus for straining yogurt,
it's good for you and
it's delicious~

and 

How to Color Sugar

This was my first attempt at making a King Cake.
King Cake has been on my Culinary "To Make"
list for as long as I can remember.
For someone who lives in Northern WI,
King Cake has always been a mysterious sounding cake to me.
When I think of King Cake,
I immediately think of Mardi Gras and
Mardi Gras has always been a mystery to me too..

I learned more about Mardi Gras and King Cake
the first time my hubby and I vacationed in Louisiana,
We stayed in Slidell Louisiana which is located in St.Tammany Parish.
The Lake Pontchartrain Causeway is located in
Slidell and takes you across Lake Pontchartrain into New Orleans.
