If he didn’t get 2 tags that year I would go buy one and hunt, because we needed two elk. Believe me, I was soooo happy when my kids were old enough to hunt because I didn’t like it one bit. Now one is plenty. He hunts deer and antelope too but I won’t eat those so he makes jerky and stuff with that. The weather is not cooperating this year, and so far he hasn’t gotten an elk yet-and we need one because our oldest dd uses ground elk to make her dog food-the dog has a medical condition which makes her unable to eat most proteins. We cut up our own animals, and grind most into burger. We make a few steaks from the loins, but my days of eating elk steak and roasts are over lol. The burger is great for tacos, chili, etc. we don’t add any fat to it so it’s very lean, and much healthier than beef.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211081401208327746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-72821854953633036602021-11-19T15:27:53.447-08:002021-11-19T15:27:53.447-08:00Hi Kris,

Chili and stew sound like cold weather comfort foods. And the peanut chicken sounds tasty. I may try that soon. <br />Have a great weekend, Kris!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-85459926992312433512021-11-19T15:24:04.683-08:002021-11-19T15:24:04.683-08:00Hi Diane,

It must be such a good feeling to know you have plenty of meat for each winter.<br /><br />Your meals sound delicious, especially the taco soup and cornbread and beef and noodles. Yum! My kind of meals!<br />Have a great weekend, Diane!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-86374663664259051582021-11-19T13:20:44.904-08:002021-11-19T13:20:44.904-08:00It's use-up-venison week here!

I made peanut chicken over rice earlier this week and sloppy joes for our final weeknight dinner.

We had steak last Saturday and then I cooked a big ham on Sunday. Monday we had taco soup and cornbread , and then Tuesday I went to idaho falls with my oldest dd and got home too late to cook. Wednesday I made a roast and last night I fixed pork chops. My Dh wanted all the leftover ham made into ham salad for his last hunting trip of the year, but I only used about half of it,and the rest went into the freezer. I have leftover pot roast and pork chops to eat while he’s gone. I might use the roast for beef and noodles, which is one of my favorites.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211081401208327746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-39537754055000370702021-11-19T07:50:59.973-08:002021-11-19T07:50:59.973-08:00Hi Live and Learn,

Your meals sound like classic comfort foods for cooler weather. Just the sort of thing my family is eating these days.<br />Have a great weekend, Live and Learn!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-18189292562844213922021-11-19T04:45:58.701-08:002021-11-19T04:45:58.701-08:00All of your food sound good, but the toasty-o'...All of your food sound good, but the toasty-o's are what I'm craving now. I haven't had those in a long time.<br /> <br />I've having a hard time remembering what we had to eat here this past week but here's what I remember. Chicken tetrazzini, meat loaf, and a pasta, sausage, and green bean dish. Tonight my husband is going to get dinner from Subway since my son and I will be working late. We have a coupon for a free sub that he's going to use. Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.com
