How I wish I could get more venison to buy
I visited you via Eclectic Red Barn: Happiness Is Homemade Link Party
My links: 39+40. We will be honored if you share your links with us at SeniorSalonPitStop. Link under BLOGGING.
I know what you mean. We can’t buy it here in Florida, so we’re harvest our own, and also share with family and friends.
Also, thanks for the invite! I’ll be sure to check it out!
That’s a great selection of recipes – thank you – and for sharing with #PoCoLo
Interesting! I’ve never made venison but it seems so versatile. Your recipes sound fabulous.
Thanks so much for sharing your recipes with Sweet Tea & Friends this month dear friend.
Thanks, Paula. Venison is usually a love it or leave it type of food. If not properly prepared it will be gamey, but if done right, it’s super delicious, and oh, so healthy. Very lean, high protein, and no antibiotics, hormones or other additives. You just can’t beat it!
I love a good venison chili
Yes! It’s so delicious and perfect for those cold (and rainy) nights!
It hasn’t been since I was a young teen that we tried venison and didn’t like it. I think if we’d used a wonderful recipe, like many you’ve listed, we would have enjoyed it!
