Girl Hunter Weekend

I’m not a hunter, but I did play one in Texas for a weekend back in December!  Maybe you saw my tweets and Instagram pics while I was swinging a Silver Pigeon V 28GA Beretta at Joshua Creek Ranch in in Boerne, Texas with 13 other food bloggers!

How did this all come about, you wonder?  Not your typical “girls weekend” right?  Although I do HIGHLY recommend it!! It was a lot of fun stepping outside of our usual realm and learning something new all while bonding!

You see, our friend Georgia, has led this really exciting life!  She was a classically trained chef in New York City when she decided to leave the city and learn about where our food really comes from.  Georgia traveled with veteran hunters who showed her the ropes and taught her to hunt things like quail, venison, squirrel, turkey, pheasant and elk! 

She embarked on this journey to find her main course,  but along the way she learned surprising lessons about food and life and she put it all in a book titled: Girl Hunter Revolutionizing the Way We Eat, One Hunt at a Time

Georgia had the grand idea that it might be fun to let some of her friends step into her world, even if it was just for a few days.

Wow, another holiday season is over.  But, I have one more holiday gift to giveaway!  See how you can enter to win a KitchenAid Pro HD 5 qt Stand Mixer at the end of this post! EDITED:  GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED

I hope you were surrounded by the ones you love most!  Our holiday seemed to just go on and on and on, and I was sad to see it end, as out of town family loaded up their car and headed back to Kentucky yesterday.

It always seems like SO much prep, and then BAM! it’s all over way too fast!

Right before Christmas the good people at Sam’s Club challenged several bloggers to create a holiday meal with an assigned budget.  My budget was $60, and I decided to use it for a  pre New Years Eve dinner with just the four of us. 

I had been cooking, and baking all week, so I decided to let Sam’s Club do the cooking for me!  I wanted an easy, yet delicious meal we could all enjoy.

Sam’s Club made it simple.  By shopping their Artisan Fresh section, I was able to put a great tasting meal on the table with little stress for me! – and we even have left overs!

Budget Friendly Holiday Meal

I couldn’t have come much closer to my budget!  My total was $59.21.

Here’s what I picked up:
