All of those pluses add up to deliciousness, in case you were wondering about that. It’s a very scientific formula. No really. This was one of my favorite new recipes that we’ve tried lately. Could it be because Scott made it for me? Possibly. Could it be because it made our freshly gained venision taste…

Comfort Food Heaven: Baked Beans and Sausage and Kale
Baked beans weren’t a thing in our house growing up. We had plenty of green beans, not a ton of other beans.* So imagine my surprise when I made baked beans for the first time last week, and they’re delicious. I would put them onto my comfort food list in a heartbeat, and that’s a…

Ranchy Dill Oyster Crackers
