I had a blast cooking on the wild game cooking stage for Pheasant Fest a week and a half ago. I meet some very nice people and held some of the cutest puppies! My Spicy almond Pheasant soup was a huge hit! I’m glad I can share it with you! Please stop back for more recipes from Pheasant Fest and hear some entertaining stories about living in the back woods of Wisconsin with 4 children and 1 foreign exchange student from Taiwan.
