Craft Blog Addict!

Hello! My name is Tara and I'm a Craft Blog addict!

At this point in time I have 30 blogs in my RSS reader and I'm constantly adding to that number.  The only reason there are so few is because I have actually been able to exercise some restraint, but I feel it slipping:~)  There are so many fabulously creative ladies out there with fantastic blogs I just can't help myself!!! And its not just craft blogs that I follow.  There are food blogs, photography blogs, decorating blogs, sewing blogs, chances are if it involves being creative I'm more than likely interested.  I have more little orange flags, marking projects and ideas and recipes, than I know what to do with. 

Here are a FEW of the blogs I have been privileged to stumbled across.  

Happy Friday!

Cookin' with Moose

Last September Ryan shot his very first moose. Size wise it wasn't huge, but he was pretty excited.  Now we have a big ol' freezer full of meat.

I've tried several times using the meat in my regular recipes, using moose instead of beef.  It never goes over so well.  Neither one of us can get past that "gamey" flavor.  So, what do you do with a freezer full of meat that you don't particularly like?....You suck it up and learn to like it.  So, last time we were at Fred Meyer we made a stop in their tiny book section and found a Moose Cook Book.  I figured that someone had to have come up with a way to season it to mask some of the not-so-yummy flavor.

I have made three recipes out it and so far so good:~) I have made an Enchilada casserole, Chili con Carne, and Macaroni and Moose. The Macaroni and Moose was an interesting one.  It called for cinnamon and nutmeg which I thought was rather odd.  I wouldn't think to add those spices to ground meat.  But Ryan said it was actually really good.  His favorite at this point was the Chili con Carne.  I added jalapeno's to the recipe which, Ryan informs me, made it perfect.  And it was quick and simple, which made it perfect for me.
