It’s about this time of year that I start intentionally making a dent in our venison stash to make way for the fresh meat this Fall.  I’m not an enormous fan {in fact, I couldn’t stand it before I married my hunting hubby}, but I’ve learned a trick or two about making venison taste fabulous {see below}.

Do the Tzatziki!

Garden Booty

We went treasure hunting in the veggie garden today. And our plunder brought much delight. Our first tomatoes. Cherry ‘maters, none the less.          verdict: juicy Sugar snap peas galore, and more cucumber than we could ever hope to slice up and dip into our crazy good hummus.   Let me rephrase that… massive cucumbers for us to slice… Read More

My husband is a country boy.  I was a city girl. Notice I said “was”. I’m a changed woman.  You see… Boy meets girl.  Girl who despises smell of cow poo {and who assumes all country life involves having to smell cow poo day and night and life in a crappy, old farm house} convinces country boy that life in… Read More

But because healing requires that we name where we are,
and freedom comes as we choose to bravely step out of hiding.
