It's getting to be the time of year to plan my garden. This means I will be planning to grow the herbs I like to use when cooking my venison. My favorite herbs are thyme and sage.

I have been working on promoting my book and am really looking forward to answering your questions and seeing where your interests lie.

Food Preservation

Lots of Hungry Deer

The snow cover here is almost gone, and the deer are really hitting the cut corn fields pretty hard around here. Still seeing many on the hill behind our house. Can't wait until I can get out and shoot my bow.

I just shared this in the forum, but in case you don't always go there, I will share it here, too.

2 large venison steaks
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon dried garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
In small mixing bowl, mix all ingredients except steaks. Cook steaks on grill until desired doneness is reached. Baste sauce on steaks for the last 2 minutes of grilling time.
