Not looking for anything in particular? Check out my favorite recipes, or see what Tom enjoys the most!


There are (I know it's hard to believe) people who do not like the taste of wild game. Just to let you know that most of the recipes can also be used with beef, chicken, domestic turkey or pork.

There will also be lots of recipes that are non-game or fish so check back on a regular basis. I'll be adding some canning recipes that I use also.

Thanks and enjoy the recipes!!

Catfish Like My Mom's
By Colleen Knapp
This recipe was sent to me by a friend of ours from Washington. I am assuming that it was his mom's recipe.

1 # Catfish
1 Egg beaten
1 C Milk
1/2 C Water
1/2 C prepared Mustard
1 Garlic Clove - minced or pressed
Salt and Cayenne Pepper to taste
1 C Yellow Cornmeal
1 C Yellow Corn Flour (Mesa is suitable)
Vegetable Oil

Rinse the Catfish in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. With a sharp knife, cut fillets lengthwise along the center to make long thin pieces. In a shallow bowl, mix eggs, milk and water. Add the fish to the milk mixture. In another bowl, blend the mustard and garlic. Drain the fish and roll in the mustard mixture. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. In another bowl, combine the cornmeal and corn flour. Roll the fish in this mixture until well coated. Heat oil to about 375 degrees. Deep fry till golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
