Grilled Bacon Wrapped Venison Tenderloin

YUMMY!

My husband requested this dish in place of ham or turkey for our NEW YEAR'S FEAST! And I am so glad he did! The bacon... wow... the venison... arh, arh, arh...

1 strip of Tenderloin
1 lb. of smoked bacon
1/4 c. onion powder
1/4 c. garlic salt
1/4 c. pepper (black/white or both)
SOME butter
Skewers or toothpicks to hold bacon in place

Ingredients

First you will need to spread the seasonings/spice evenly in a long baking, casserole or cake pan; one spice at a time:

Spread evenly

Then take your tenderloin and roll into the spice to cover the entire piece of venison.

THICKLY cover the ENTIRE piece!

Take your seasoned tenderloin and wrap with strips of bacon using toothpicks or skewers to hold the bacon in place.

Bacon wrapped and held in place w/ skewers

Heat an iron skillet, add butter. When butter is completely melted, and bubbling... gently place tenderloin to sear each side with butter until bacon is SLIGHTLY browned.

UNTIL SLIGHTLY BROWNED

Take out of frying plan and put on the grill! Cook to your liking ... and eat! Eat it with anything... we had collards and blackeyed peas because it was New Years... but you can eat it with wild rice, salads, any vegetable you like. It's one of my favorite... ONE OF... my favorite venison dishes! I hope you decide to use this simple technique and let me know what you think of it!

Growing Future Outdoor Sportsmen and Sportswomen

What a weekend! First we got snow, then we had the opportunity to go to our local Wildlife Management Area to look for sheds, rubs, tracks, scat, skeletal remains... or anything else we could find out there in the woods. My husband and I enjoy getting the kids outdoors so they can experience nature first hand. Our initial intent was to look for sheds. Although we didn't find any sheds, we enjoyed what we did find, and the time we spent together, as a family. Just as we entered the woods, I told my children to watch for dogs. People are constantly dropping dogs off in these woods. They toss pups they've killed, and often times dump them in nearby streams and watersheds. I've even discovered whole litters of starving pups with an empty bag of torn open dog feed that had been left with them. It's really sad. It's also dangerous to people entering the WMA because the dogs are starving, wild, and afraid. Dog remains...

About Getting the Children Outdoors

With the encouragement of several followers, I had my sites set on creating an outdoor curriculum which could be taught in the classroom, public or homeschooled. Not being one who likes to reinvent the wheel, I began to do some research and came across Acorn Naturalists which provides educational books and tools for trail, as well as the classroom. After ordering their catalog, I realized the extent of their product line was way more than I could create on my own. Acorn Naturalists has activities, teaching tools, and kits that cover a variety of natural and outdoor activities and lessons for all ages; particularly preschool through middle grades. For those outdoor enthusiast, I implore you take an interest in involving young children in your business or hobby. I had written an earlier post in my blog called Changing the Looks of Things about inviting people into what you do to give them a better perception. I'm not a wr...

A Home School Review! Time4Learning

I've been homeschooling my children for five years, all three of them. I also school/tutor another child not my own. We keep a pretty hectic pace at my home, and we try to stay at the forefront of education. I try to stay on top of the best educational materials, and get the most for my money. Regardless of what I do, what works for one child, doesn't necessarily work for the others. In my five years of homeschooling, regardless of the programs, tools or curricula I use, I've found every child has their own learning style, and just because a particular curricula works for my family, doesn't necessarily mean it will work for another. My oldest child, a female, is self directed. I've never had a problem getting her to start or complete a task. The boys, and my youngest child are far less motivated. I have tried every curriculum in the book to keep them engaged, literally; Abeka, Christian Liberty Press, AOP, Bob Jones to name a few. Althou...
