Smoked Duck over Oven Baked Fries with KC BBQ Sauce
Every year my wife and I try to cook a themed meal for the Super Bowl. Most of the time will look at the teams involved and try to use food both cities are known for, then try to fuse them together. This year it was the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs playing against each other. Since I used to live around KC, I was pulling for the Chiefs this year, but thought the Eagles were probably the stronger team. I decided to do this Smoked Duck with Duck Fat French Fries drizzled with a Kansas City style bar-b-que sauce. While the Smoked Duck doesn’t really have anything to do with Philadelphia, the bird is supposed to represent an Eagle, or a smoked eagle in this case. This just symbolic since the team’s mascot is a bird.
Duck Nachos
Nachos is a meal all by itself. Loaded with cheese, beans, meat and fresh veggies, it’s the perfect bite for a quiet night in, comfy sweats and a favorite movie. And if you have the time, don’t just serve any nachos. This one is topped with tender duck meat and cotija, a crumbly hard Mexican cheese for a bit of salt and funk. Make sure to keep plenty of ice-cold beer on hand.
Braised Duck & Beans
This bean dish hits the spot in winter. It's also an opportunity for hunters to save and eat duck legs, which are too good to leave to the coyotes.
Gameday Gamebird Boudin Kolache
There used to be a small doughnut shop here in town, it had changed owners a few years ago but now it's shut down. They sold all kinds of different fresh pastries that they baked each day. Sometimes the wife and I would stop by in the morning on the way to work looking for breakfast and coffee. They used to make these breakfast Boudin Kolache's that were my absolute favorite. It was just boudin, wrapped in dough, but it was so good! We eventually attempted to make these at home and the boys loved them ... Any time the kids come to town, these are on the menu.
Jalapeno Duck Popper Casserole
Everyone seems to have their own version of a Jalapeno Popper recipe that they like to use, I thought I'd add a little twist to this version by doing it as a Casserole. This isn't an original ideal of mine, you can find hundreds of popper casseroles recipes all over the internet, this is just my take on one. Not only was this recipe delicious, but it was quick and easy!! As long as you don't count the time it took to cook the duck breast. I know a casserole is supposed to be a one pot dish, but if you add the duck breast to a slow cooker before leaving for work in the morning or at lunch time, they'll be done by the time you get home from work. At that point you can just shred the meat and start assembling this casserole. I have to be honest, I ate half of this by myself, it was so good! We had just enough left to snack on the next day, but it only left me wanting more. We will definitely be making this again.

Japanese Inspired Pan Seared Duck Breast
I've been taking Karate for 4 or 5 years now, something I always wanted to do it as a little kid, but never got the chance to ... only now I'm 50. Who wasn't fascinated by Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris fighting it out in "Way of the Dragon". Truthfully, I really only started taking karate to get exercise, after all I do sit behind a computer most of my days. I got tired of going to the gym, and trying to motivate myself to work out, especially in front of strangers ... that got old pretty quick. I figured I just needed to go somewhere where they could tell me what to do and me do it. I thought I'd just go to a few classes, see if I liked it, I never really thought I'd stay in it as long as I have. I didn't join to get belts or ranks, or even to learn how to fight, but one of the perks is you learning something new about another culture. Part of the class is learning some history, along with Japanese words and phrases, although most of them are related to fighting.
