To your question about “can you ever have too much garlic?” I didn’t think so until 2 years ago on Thanksgiving my sister-in-law was making dressing for the first time. The recipe called for 5 cloves of garlic and she put in 5 whole bulbs of garlic. We tried everything to fix it but it’s a memory we will never forget!

I'm so sorry but that's pretty hilarious! I can't imagine! The only time I thought there was too much garlic in something was when I tried a TERRIBLE "healthy" restaurant in the early '90s. They served a cup of miso soup in one of the old time styrofoam cups which if you remember, are NOT very big. There were approximately 8 cloves of garlic in this tiny cup that had pretty much nothing else except for dashi stock. I couldn't eat garlic for the next year and a half! I think I eventually got over it but to this day, I don't like garlic as much as I used to.

Fabulous video! I loved the meal plans (and Dusty’s shirt). I am so glad you highlighted Ryder’s venison. He looked so very proud! ❤️. One item I always have in my pantry is shelf stable milk. I get mine at the Dollar Tree. I will say, I have used my pantry milk 1.5 to 2 years after the “best by” date and it has always been perfectly fine.

My kids are all grown and gone now - Grandkids (9) range from 7 to 16 years old ... I don't need a lot of fresh milk in the house anymore and found that it went bad more often than not before I could cook with even a half gallon ... I get Nido now - Powdered Whole Milk and it works GREAT ... You should add that to your Pantry Staple List ... And maybe even some dry "Cream of Anything" soup mixes. Those two things save me a ton on my grocery budget. Merry Christmas to you and your adorable family !!

You can make white chicken chili and serve your cornbread with it, or make a chicken and cornbread dressing casserole. Have you ever made a stir fry out of the venison? My roommate and I lived off of it when we were in college. Also if you mix half ground sausage and half ground venison and add a package of Lipton onion soup mix to 2lbs of the meat mix, add couple dashes of Worcestershire sauce( can add finely minced bread crumbs to stretch it if you want to) shape into patties and grill the patties while basting the patties with garlic butter( melted). Then add what you like on your burger. You can even wrap a piece of bacon around patties before placing on the grill, serve as mock fillets.

Now I have a challenge, should you choose to accept it. The way I have to cook because of my husband’s special dietary needs. What can you do with a gluten free, no MSG, have to check labels because so much prepared foods have it added, no GMO and no beef. Let me tell you, IT IS HARD! With these limitations, it isn’t easy or fun anymore. BTW, we do think anything in a corn tortilla is ( to quote you,) “da bomb.”
