Roast Pheasant
This roast pheasant recipe is quick, simple, and has an autumn feel. It is very good roasted with diced potatoes, carrots, and seasonal squash (I like acorn squash). You can cook it at a higher temperature for a shorter time — just be sure to baste often since it is a very lean meat.
Veggie Frittata
This nutritious recipe is a favourite of egg farmers Mark and Joanie Hamel of Watford. The vegetables can be varied to your preference.
Coq Au Vin with Rosemary and Thyme
This coq au vin with rosemary and thyme is my take on the quintessential French dish. I love to experiment and didn't follow a recipe. I knew the main idea was to braise chicken in wine, and you must season it to your tastes. Thyme and rosemary always go great with chicken and bacon, well, it's bacon. My favorite side dish is mashed potatoes and French or Italian bread to soak up the juices. One time, I forgot I didn't have potatoes, so on the fly, I shredded the chicken and tossed the bones. Then, we had a great soup/stew on a cold night. This dish delivers a lot of flavor with very little work. Enjoy.
