Roast Beef and Colby-Jack Biscuits
After our branding a couple of weeks ago, I had some leftover roast beef that I decided to make the next night’s supper out of instead of freezing like I do with a lot of the leftover meat and potatoes from our branding day dinner. I am always on the hunt for unique and new…

My Branding Day Checklists
We’re gearing up for our branding and one of the things I do to prepare for it is make lists to organize my time. Cooking a meal for a large crowd is a lot of work and takes time. I organize my days prior by creating lists I can refer to. I like to enjoy…

Calving Season Suppers
Once calving season is in full swing, the thought of fixing supper gets to be a drag and a hassle. Since my energy and concentration starts to dwindle around suppertime, I try to simplify feeding my family by relying heavily on my crockpot to do a lot of my cooking for me (actually I have two crockpots)….

Have A Taste of Monte Walsh
I discovered a great new twist on a favorite sandwich of mine; the Monte Cristo, on one of my favorite new internet beef recipe resources.

Beef Recipes from A to Z
One of the things I love about cooking with beef is the many different ways I can enjoy it. I do a lot of experimental cooking mostly with roasts and steaks; sometimes hamburger, to discover new flavors and new favorite dishes. I’ve never been brave enough to try cooking a prime rib but I’ve always…

Our Annual Family Picnic
When we move our cows to summer range every June, I pack a picnic lunch for our family to enjoy afterwards. It’s made the annual cow-moving trek a family tradition. Sadly, we rarely have picnics, which I need to change. When our kids were younger, the thought of food (mostly a can of pop and…

Cheat Nights
At our house, when the cook—that’d be me—gets a night off, we call it cheat night. I’m not entirely sure how the nickname stuck but I think it had something to do with me commenting once that I was going to cheat on cooking supper and everyone was going to have a bowl of cereal…
