If you live anywhere near a hunter or hunting area, then chances are you are going to get some deer meat. There are some great, easy recipes besides the old, tried and true-deer chili, deer stew, deer roast with vegetables, deer stroganoff, grilled venison tenderloins or chicken fried deer steaks with gravy and mashed potatoes.

Deer Jerky

You aren't a true deer connoisseur unless you have tried to make your own deer jerky. You don't have to have a dehydrator; you can use your oven, set on 200-250, with a hot pad stuck in the oven door to let the moist air out. It can take anywhere from 5-10 hours, depending on how chewy you want it. You can use the meat from the ribs, the flank steaks and the scrap meat that doesn't end up ground in hamburger or sausage for this. Keep in mind that the meat you start with, ends up about a half or two thirds less after drying. Marinate inch strips and pieces overnight, in some liquid smoke, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, a little seasoning salt, garlic powder and onion powder. Next day, spread meat on wire rack, foil underneath and put in oven until done, 5-10 hours.

An easy appetizer is Venison Cherry Spread

1 pkg. of softened cream cheese, to cup of dried or fresh crushed cherries or pie filing and leftover cooked venison, roast or ground, (and a few red pepper flakes if desired for heat) and spread on crackers.

Venison Roll-ups are another easy appetizer

Simply slice steaks with the grain to make thin breakfast steaks. Roll around two or three asparagus or green onions, or one of each and secure with a moistened toothpick and throw on the grill until the meat turns brown.

Venison Roast Pizza is an easy leftover meal

Get a cooked, prepared pizza dough, or use a loaf of flatbread or French bread, split. Mix 1 pkg. of softened cream cheese with a tablespoon each of: horseradish sauce, ranch dressing, Italian dressing and spread on pizza dough or bread. Top with leftover venison roast or cooked ground venison, onions, pepper, olives or mushrooms, as desired, top with Italian blend or mozzarella cheese, bake at 350 until golden brown and cheese melts.

Crescent roll Venison Lasagna pie

Take 2 rolls of crescents and open on a pizza pan or (large round baking pan), spread with tips outward, like a sun shape. Mix together: pound of venison, pound sausage, tomato sauce, onions, peppers and green and black olives, and one pack of dry ranch dressing, prepared as instructions. Once mixed, place in the center of the "Sun", top with shredded cheese, fold all the points towards the middle, and bake at 375 until golden and inside is bubbly.

Venison Cottage Cheese Pie

Mix 1 pound of ground venison, mushrooms and onions together and put in a 9" frozen pie shell. In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs and add 1 cup of cottage cheese and pour over the top of the meat mixture. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes until set, or top mixture turns golden brown.

Whether you're an avid hunter or just someone who enjoys the offerings of a hunter you are sure to impress somebody with these easy venison recipes.

Just Jerky : The Complete Guide to Making It

Here's the do-it-yourself guide to making your own jerky in an oven, smoker, or food dehydrator with strips or ground beef, venison, poultry, fish and even soy protein.

STEP 1

When you are considering a raw food diet, start with a good colon cleanse which will make the transition to a raw food diet a whole lot easier. This will prepare you both physically and emotionally for the change.

A colon cleanse could be as simple as taking 2 tablespoons of grounded flaxseeds with your normal daily diet for about 2-4 weeks. You can also choose to go on a strict rigid fast such as The Master Cleanse.

This will clear out your colon and put you in a "ready" state of mind.

Explore all the colon cleanse possibilities and choose any one you feel most comfortable applying. This will ease you gently and comfortably onto the next stage of eating majority raw.

STEP 2

Most people feel so refreshed and fantastic after a colon cleanse that they are ready to go full blast 100% on a raw food diet right from the off. If this is the case for you, don't spoil the momentum, go for it and charge ahead. Others may use the cleanse to take little tentative steps, working their way up bit by bit. either way, this is the time to take stock and prepare yourself for what lies ahead.

STEP 3

Beware of the weird and wonderful gourmet raw food recipes that's being touted in recipe books and other websites. Ignore all these at first and stick to basic, as few as possible ingredients. With so much ingredients and preparation and clean ups you will fall off the wagon in no time.
Stick to basic, clean, short recipes. Only consider raw gourmet dishes from time to time as a special treat for yourself when you're flush with cash and have plenty time on your hands.

STEP 4

Consider purchasing a dehydrator (a piece of equipment which lightly heats the food without destroying the precious enzymes) this will allow for easier transitioning as it changes the texture of the produce, making them crunchy, crispy and interesting, reminiscent of cooked food. You can make crackers, breads and bases for raw fruit cakes.

STEP 5

Start each and every morning with a huge smoothie or a large bowl of mixed fruit and nut. Lunch and dinner will be your normal foods keeping it as healthy as possible. Have fruits as snacks in between meals. Do this for two weeks.

After two weeks of having a raw breakfast, extend it now to having a raw breakfast and a raw lunch. Make lunch a huge smoothies with plenty of greens and/or superfoods. Have a crunchy salad, adding olives or avocado if you need that bit extra. Make this the biggest meal of the day. Have a small healthy cooked meal for dinner. Carry this out for another two weeks.

After having most of your meals raw for the last two weeks, you are ready to go all the way. (some may prefer to continue having at least one cooked meal per day). Now include your raw dinner making sure it's light and quick to prepare

A Healthy Menu for your Birthday Party

Your Birthday Party does not necessarily mean that you need to binge on junk food on that day. You and your guests can have healthy and tasty food and enjoy it, as everything depends on the preparation. Normally the food served at birthday parties are candy, chips and dips, soda and cake. You can go for an innovative menu that will be kind to your friends, family and everyone you care about.

Treat Yourself Better on Special Occasions
We need to use the knowledge that we learn from health articles and apply them to our lives, so that we can make life-style changes. The choice is ours, whether we would like to continue with junk food or go for a diet that is kind to our bodies, particularly on special occasions. In fact, we need to be kinder to ourselves on special occasions.Firstly, we need to choose foods that have some nutritional value - if it has none at all, we are doing a disservice to ourselves. Making a change on special occasions by providing a menu that is not only healthy and nutritious, but also tasty and scrumptious, will be an eye-opener to all friends and children alike.

Healthy Cooking Ideas
It is not difficult to come up with a healthy menu. Why go for onion dips that are fattening - why not go in for low fat yogurt instead, and have fresh strawberries, bananas and apples as a fruit for the dip. Apart from being healthy, it is also delicious. The usual hamburgers, pizzas and hot dogs that are thrown in at birthday parties can be substituted with tasty turkey sandwiches and an unusual salad. This would cut out the junk food.

Now, we come to the dessert, which needs to be carefully thought out, as children love desserts and cake. Instead of piling up the fat on the cake with creamy icing, you would do well to go for a low fat dessert. You could either make or get a low fat cake, and use yogurt instead of butter, margarine and other fatty ingredients. The cake will be equally tasty and nutritious. It could be decorated with chocolate strawberries, which will be popular with kids and adults alike. Jello can be made in different shapes which again is popular with kids. There are so many juices in all flavors to choose from, which can be frozen. This is another popular item with kids.The list is endless - all it requires is a little imagination and time to create a delicious spread. It is true that the easier way is to order pizzas and cake, but with that extra effort and care, you can turn that birthday party around to make it a wonderful spread that is healthy, enjoyable and delicious.

Cooking really is an art, it can take some time to get it right. I would like to share a few basic tips with you that have helped me to become a better cook.

1) If you are using a wok/pan and it becomes too dry, add a little stock instead of more oil. Too much oil can really overdo things and take away from the taste.

2) Add some salt to water and it will boil faster. Don't worry, just adding a pinch really shouldn't effect the taste of the food that is cooked.

3) Always cook over low, well-distributed heat. If you are concerned that your stove is uneven, get it checked out. You definitely want your dishes to be cooked the right way!

4) Beware cooking something in super hot oil. Cooking when the oil is extremely hot only cooks your food on the surface and not deep in.

5) Be careful! Cooking areas should be blocked off - effectively - if either might be present without responsible supervision. Especially if you have children, make sure your pot handles are turned inward so they cannot be knocked off. You can never be too careful.

6) Like all electrical appliances, failures (in the electrical wiring or the control mechanisms) can cause problems, including fires. Keep a close watch on this.

7) Don't ever be afraid to experiment. If you don't take chances, you will never know what you could have discovered. Cooking is not meant to always be done by the rules. Even something as small as a pinch of spice can vastly change the taste of your food. Have fun!
