Wild Rice & Bison Skewers with Cranberry & Seed Pesto
We often only see wild rice served three ways: in a soup, as a salad, and as a side grain. But there is so much more we can do with it. Wild rice has a robust, toasty flavor along with a strong texture that support much more creative recipes. From savory fritters to sweet custards,…

This recipe is one of my favorite seafood dishes we serve. Curry and vindaloo spices and sauces are often paired with beef, chicken, or even lamb. While it works well with those proteins, we have found that bold flavors with a light, flaky fish are just as delicious. I hope you enjoy it as much…
