Growing up, I hated liver in all forms. It wasn’t until I made in into my 30’s that I FINALLY got the courage to try liver and found that it was not as bad as I remember. My Chicken Liver Nuggets with Southwest Ranch, those are another story though – I can eat the entire…
This Pasta Carbonara with Wild Ramps & Anchovies recipe is a fun twist on a classic dish! Full of flavor and a delicious way to celebrate spring!
My Venison Stir-Fry with Wild Ramps is the perfect way to transform simple ingredients into a delicious Chinese take-out style meal at home! If you don’t have a freezer full of venison (like us) or freshly foraged wild ramps – Don’t worry! You can also make this dish with beef and scallions/green onions and it will be just as delicious!
I can’t even fathom that I now have 2 amazing recipes for Salmon Meatballs here on HSITK! My latest recipe for Salmon Meatballs with Garlic Lemon Cream Sauce only happened because I had ground wild caught salmon but not capers – so I couldn’t make my wildly popular Salmon Meatballs with Caper Dill Tarter Sauce. I love it…

My family’s traditional, New Year’s Day Meal for Good Luck is Pork and Kraut (aka Pork Roast and Sauerkraut with Hot Dogs and Kielbasa served with copious piles of creamy Mashed Potatoes, if I were to be more specific). When I first met my husband and learned that his family shared the same tradition as mine,…
It feels really strange to be talking so much (recently) about low-carb… I feel like it’s a complete blast from the past, I started eating low carb back in 1999 when I was a senior in college and while I’ve never eaten a “high carb” diet, it’s only been recently that I’ve become more dedicated…
Every June we spend a long weekend at the Lowe’s Wharf Marina in Sherwood, Maryland, eating fresh Maryland blue crabs and fishing for striper bass (rockfish). While there I learned that the key to making an authentic Maryland crab cake is to keep the ingredients simple and avoid overusing binding fillers such as bread and…

Pairing Spicy Peel and Eat Shrimp with a smoky, tangy Chipotle Remoulade is an awesome alternative to plain-jane shrimp cocktail!

A sloppy Joe sandwich is an American classic made of ground beef in a seasoned tomato sauce served on a hamburger bun, originating in the early 1900s. For a healthier version, I’ve eliminated the bun and made our sloppy Joe sauce from scratch (which eliminates any grain-containing thickeners commonly found in processed sauces) and served…

Most of you aren’t faced with the challenges associated with homesteading and the obstacles it presents when it comes to cooking. Since we raise a flock of meat-chickens every spring (free-range, organic, of course! Duh!) much of…
