Pheasant Manicotti

This recipe originally started out as Stuffed Shells, the only thing I was missing were the shells!! I had gone to the local Walmart to pick some up and the whole pasta/noodle isle was pretty much empty, along with most of the other isles. I decided I'd try Kroger in Corinth Mississippi, I hit their pasta isle and while they did have more pasta than Walmart, they didn't have any large shells either. Next ... I tried the Kroger in Savannah Tennessee, still no large shells! Food Giant, Piggy Wiggly ... no shells, no shells. Everybody is out of everything! Knowing that I had everything else I needed at home, I just need to find some large shells. I was ready to give up and thinking it just wasn't meant to be when I saw some Manicotti noodles at Piggy Wiggly and decided to just use those instead. So this is now Pheasant Manicotti!!

A lot of times, this is just how my cooking projects go. I plan on cooking one thing and end up cooking something else. I could have held out until I had found some large pasta shells, but I already had a lot of ingredients prepared plus my pheasant meat had been laid out, so it needed to be used.

You 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.
