Simple Gourmet: Bear Bombs

Bear Bombs are a shoo-in crowd pleaser. These hot little packets of flaky dough are a favorite for everyone. Kids will eat anything wrapped in bread, and you can stuff them with a variety of flavors.

Simple Gourmet: Sweet & Sour Mountain Lion

Cougar, mountain lion, puma, catamount, painter — whatever you want to call it, if you get a text from a buddy who guides hunts for Felix concolor that reads, “Do you want a mtn lion backstrap?” you should answer affirmatively, and then beg for the hams, too.

Simple Gourmet: Game-Stuffed Pumpkin

This is a great dish for a cold Sunday in January. It’s rich and creamy with spices for the season. Prep it in the morning, pop in the oven and go to church or take the dog for a walk in the woods and it’ll be ready when you get home.
