close up venison pot pie in a pan

Venison Pot Pie brings the luck of the Irish

March 16, 2023 By Melissa Guerra Leave a Comment

Venison Pot Pie is a combination of so many things that I find comforting in the kitchen. First of all, biscuits y’all! Who doesn’t love a warm buttermilk biscuit on top of their stew? Yum! Pot Pie always Pleases Second of all, Venison Pot Pie is filled with savory venison stew. Here in South Texas we are famous for an abundance of wild game. Venison appears on our table regularly. I like to have a variety of recipes ready to utilize every bit of what we have in the freezer. Third of ...

Blueberry Plum Galette is an amazing treat

March 8, 2023 By Melissa Guerra Leave a Comment

Blueberry Plum Galette has all of the juicy fruit flavor of pie but with less hassle. Or at least I think there is less hassle.

Not a fussy recipe This recipe does not require a high level of accuracy. In other words, you can switch out the plums used in this galette – any stone fruit would work, such as peaches or ...

March 1, 2023 By Melissa Guerra Leave a Comment

Or even when we have no guests at all...it is a good old fashioned dessert that I make year round. A delicious old-fashioned favorite A little secret about apples is that supermarkets keep them in cold storage for months. Potatoes, carrots and onions keep in refrigeration for a long time too. So even though apple picking ...

Skillet Jalapeño Cornbread with Cheddar is cheesy, spicy & good

February 9, 2023 By Melissa Guerra Leave a Comment

Skillet Jalapeño Cornbread with Cheddar is a classic Texas cornbread recipe. I especially love this bread recipe when I need something quick and hearty. Actually, when lunch is disappointing, skillet cornbread is like mealtime 911. Crispy and savory I always have the ingredients for Skillet Jalapeño Cornbread with Cheddar in the fridge and pantry. Could you use fresh jalapeños for this skillet cornbread? Of course you can, but canned pickled jalapeños are so convenient. I usually buy ...
