Buffalo Pheasant Pizza
On this Buffalo pizza I'm substituting the traditional tomato-based pizza sauce with a white bechamel sauce. Layering on the cheese, then drizzling with Buffalo sauce. I love Buffalo sauce and was tempted to use it as my pizza sauce but was afraid it'd be too overpowering for the wife and kids if they decided to sample mine. I also could have mixed it with my Bechamel sauce to tame it down a little and give the white sauce a more traditional reddish pizza sauce color, but instead decided to just drizzle the sauce over top of the finished pizza.
These are small personal 12" pizzas, and the recipes I'm posting are for that size pizza. We make several of these at one time, with the wife, me, and kids each making their own. Usually, we'll just buy a bunch of toppings, and everyone will just design and eat their own pizzas, but we'll also sample each other's pizzas to see how they turned out.

Visit authors website | View more articlesYou may think cooking and recipes don’t have much to do with a website dedicated to hunting dogs ... but really, why do we hunt? Sure, we enjoy watching our dogs work in the field and being outdoors, but ultimately, hunting is about survival and feeding our families. We might as well try to do it well. I'm not a chef and definitely no food authority ... but I do like to eat and enjoy cooking. After searching for people willing to share their recipes on Gundog Central, without much success, I decided to try to do a few on my own, with my wife Tami's help. The recipes I share here are things I like to eat and have made here at home. I've tried to include step-by-step instructions with each meal describing exactly how I did it, but my method may not be best, if you decide to try a recipe posted here, please use whatever technique you think works best, I'm simply sharing how I did it. You'll see a lot of recipes where I've tried to make things from starch, when I could have just used store bought ingredients, simply because I wanted to learn how something was done. My goal is to continually update these recipes as I learn new things and techniques. These are my attempts at creating good, home cooked food, that I would like to eat! If I'm sharing it here, my family and I enjoyed it and I believe you will too.

Zuppa Toscana with Pheasant
This Zuppa Toscana is another recipe I'm posting to deal with my garden Kale. I planted a bunch of it this winter in my flower bed and it took over as the temperature started to rise this spring. I've been posting several recipes as I find new ways to deal with my surplus Kale. I already have a Zuppa Toscana soup that posted on the site last year, but I've been wanted to do a slightly different version of it for some time. I'll just call this Zuppa Toscana version 2. With the Zuppa Toscana version 1 recipe, I used Italian Sausage and a few cups of Mushroom Stock, mixed with Pheasant stock. Since Pheasant Stock was the only real gamebird ingredient that I used in the recipe, I felt like I needed to do a new version that featured more pheasant. Inside of using Italian Sausage in this version, I'm using ground Pheasant, seasoned with Italian Seasoning and 6 cups of Pheasant Stock, no mushrooms this time.
Pheasant Cacciatore with Creamy Polenta
Im not a chef, nor have I ever claimed to be one, but I do enjoy cooking and so does my wife. When we were dating, one of the first dishes I cooked for her was a Chicken Cacciatore with some homemade French Bread. She married me, so it probably wasnt all that bad, right?! Over the years, weve cooked a lot of meals together, you can find plenty of photos of the food we prepared on our social media feeds. In fact, we have a small food blog, #wecooktogether, were well post some recipes we liked or prepared. Weve created a lot of themed meals based on shows like Game of Thrones, Lord of Rings, Shark Week and the NFL Playoffs. Id been wanting to recreate that Cacciatore recipe for a while now, kind of a nod to that first pre marriage meal. When I got a hold of these Wild Ramps, I immediately knew I wanted to used them to re-create that meal. I had been wanted to do a foraging / hunter style dishes and Cacciatore was the first thing that came to mind. Cacciatore literally translates to Hunter in Italian and usually consist of poultry braised in onions, garlic, tomatoes and wine, with some additional seasonings. As Wild Ramps are in the same family of vegetables as Onions and Garlic, I thought I could use some of the Ramps bulbs as a replacement to some of those other ingredients. Mushrooms are another popular forage item and while they might not be in a traditional Cacciatore dish, Im adding them here cause I want to.
