Culinary Adventures with Camilla

Pizza night at the Manns is an exercise of topping the dough with whatever happens to be in the fridge. Last night I found a package of venison sausage (thank you, Corralitos Market and Sausage Company!), a log of chevre, and leftover roasted red peppers. Sweet!

When we were planning R's birthday dinner for camping, he wanted venison...and salmon. I have only myself to blame for my kid's culinary requests. But, at least, he's not asking me for Doritos and bologna. Not having a ready supply of venison, I called up to the Corralitos Market and Sausage Company .

Thanks for having great quality and a great selection!
