Many years ago, I shot my first deer on some family land of ours in Alabama. My 30/30 lever action Winchester was the weapon of choice, as it was a gift from my dad, who was with me on the hunt. I remember my heart thumping out of my chest, taking a big deep breath…
This is not a recipe you decide to make for dinner at lunchtime. It takes an investment of time. The good news is that most of the 20–24 hours this takes are not labor intensive. The recipe calls for 5–10 pounds of meat. If you’re toward the heavier end of that…
I’m reasonably sure that my dad could make a living cooking things. His tailored smoker has seen its fair share of cooking endeavors. For years the Mayfield-Fisher Fourth of July Hog Cookin’ was a must-attend for many of our friends. My earliest accounts of this party…
The slow cooker is a fantastic tool for the busy wanna-be chef. They come in really handy for soups, roasts, chops, shanks, and any other cut of meat that is best braised. Most slow cookers these days will automatically switch to a warm setting once they have finished…
There are four main reasons I asked Julie to marry me: her curry abilities, incredible good looks, extremely caring heart, and her passion for bringing happiness to others (these are in no particular order). Julie’s curry recipe was the first time I had ever tried…
Taking a classic name and making it even more delicious. The other white meat reigns supreme! If you don’t already have a homemade nut butter lying around, this recipe could take an extra few minutes. We almost always have some Pecash butter in our refrigerator. Feel…
This is the finned version of our chicken fried steak recipe. Fat and protein coming together to conquer taste buds all around the world. Who in the world didn’t eat fish sticks as a child? This is a recipe for the entire family to enjoy eating. For more ideas on…
One of the advantages of living in Southern California was the access to fish tacos. Let me clarify: access to really good fish tacos. However, the best fish tacos I ever had were on my trip to Mazatlan with friends Heather and Adam, and the fishing trip we went on,…
This is by far one of our favorite salmon recipes. It is relatively easy to make and assuming you have a cedar plank soaked and ready, then you’ll be done in less than 45 minutes. This recipe can transform into a dip or appetizer in a snap. Combine fish with Paleo…
This is one of those recipes where if you have a bunch of fresh oregano, tomatoes, and peppers in the garden, it’s super easy. You can add just about any vegetables in this and it will be so tasty. You’ll notice the recipe is written for a full 2 pounds of…
Most restaurants here in Georgia that profess to have a “Southern” flair will have some variation of Georgian trout on the menu. First of all, it’s local. Secondly, there’s something uber-Georgian about the combination of sweet pecans grown here in the state and trout…
You might say this is the recipe that broke the caveman’s back. Julie had made Paleo Grits only a few days before, and I really wanted to surprise her with a cool meal that incorporated her latest creation. Julie is the real brains behind the apron in our house. So…
