Venison

It's that time of the year again and someone graciously gave us a deer.    So last night, Carpenter and I went to get it and we got it cut up and into the fridge last night.  Today, my job was to cut it up and trim it. 

I have a crockpot full of stew meat, a roaster full of roasts and a pan of the trimmings for the dogs.

I also have four bowls of meat in the fridge for cooking after these things cool off. 

I am planning on making meals just as I would if hubby brought home a bunch of pork or hamburger.  So tomorrow, I will be making meals from the meat I have brought home. 

I will be making 4 recipes of each:

• Easy Sauerbraten
• BBQ Beef
• Philly Beef
• Beefy Enchiladas

and 1 recipe of each of these:

• Beef Bordeaux
• Beef Stroganoff
• Osso Bucco
• Middle Eastern Stew
• Southwestern Stew
• Oriental Stew
• Orange Beef and Rice
• Swiss Steak

All of these recipes are out of the cookbook "The Occasional Cook" by Cyndy Salzmann.  I haven't tried most of them, but I'm anxious to try them out.  They will be different with venison instead of beef.
