Fishing & Hunting Versus Buying Meat. My passion for harvesting our own Meat.
Sometimes I’m hesitant to share pictures or videos of hunting because in the back of my mind I feel somewhat guilty. It has a different feel to me than fishing (which to most might sound silly) but, I LOVE animals. I always have and I always will. I have grown up with dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, a pet goat, pet squirrels, turtles, fish, and MORE! When I was a[...]

Homemade Carolina Crab Cakes Recipe :)
Oh my goodness, I can't believe this was our first time making homemade Crab Cakes! Y'all, they were SO DELICIOUS!! Crab Cakes have always been my favorite go-to order at a restaurant because it was the one seafood meal that I hadn't ever spent the time making at home.

Our favorite ways to eat it lately have been baked in the oven with lemon, olive oil and your blackening seasonings and then of course cut up into bite size chunks and fried wi[...]
