With so much wild-game ground pork I made savory meatloaf using the ‘cook-once-eat-twice’ method of cooking. Whether you use wild game or ground beef, check out my simple recipe!

Wild hogs are a problem here in NE Texas, their destruction is far-reaching and often severe. These destructive creatures sweep across our fields in great quantities & root huge holes in our pastures overnight. This damage not only destroys the pasture grasses we rely on to feed our cattle, but can be damaging to our equipment as well.
But the good news is these wild hogs are just pork – escaped domestic hogs that have re-bred for years in the wild. RancherMan is an accomplished hunter. Since these wild hogs are so plentiful on our homestead it’s very common for us to have an abundance of wild pork in our freezer at any given time.
I’ve written before about some of the many ways I cook this meat such as Pulled Pork Sandwiches & Slow Cooker Pork Roast w/Red Wine, But today I’m writing about that sweet rite of Barbeque-Season passage – Pork Ribs on the grill!

RancherMan & I have a Valentine’s Day tradition: we get together in the kitchen & make a special dinner for each other.
It’s a way for us to focus fully on each other & give a gift straight from the heart. For this special meal, money is no object. And the sky is the limit for our meal choices when we’re planning it.
Usually we decide together what the meal will be & we get in the kitchen together & make the planned culinary delight side-by-side.
But when we were planning what would be our Valentine’s meal this year I told RancherMan that he could choose the entrée – anything in the world he wanted.
All I cared for was the dessert. I wanted chocolate, and I wanted that chocolate to be TRUFFLES.

I’m making my own inexpensive RANCH-STYLE BEANS these days. The recipe is easy using items I typically have in my pantry. I prefer to cook a large 2-lb bag of dried beans at a time & it makes a LOT! Feel free to scale it down to cook a smaller bag of beans.

Now y’all know that I love me some blueberry… ANYTHING. I’ve planted blueberry bushes to keep myself in steady supply of those delicious & oh-so-nutritious orbs. But until those plants grow large enough to satisfy me I’m stuck using purchased frozen berries.
Recently I realized that I had two bags of blueberries in the freezer. So I decided to make blueberry jam with some of them.
I searched around online & decided on this recipe I found at Food.com since it didn’t contain any added pectin. Of course as is the norm for me, I amended the recipe to suit our tastes.

I cooked whole potatoes, then cooled, shredded and dehydrated them. Now I can use those shredded dehydrated potatoes to make hash browns quickly!
