Roasted Pheasant or Rabbit



Walking through the open fields on a cool fall day, or a snowy winter morning, in the fall the grass has grown tall and turned an amazing amber color.

In the winter you'll be walking through the fresh lily-white snow. This is small game hunting season in Western New York.

This is a recipe by Mary Jane Rumbaugh, now handed down to her family. I'm just lucky enough to work with Mary Jane’s son Randy and have tasted delicious dishes myself.

 This is a family of hunters, Mary Jane included, Mary Jane; took great pride in her cooking, especially when it came to her family and friends.

So if you're a hunter, like Mary Jane and her family you have to give this recipe a try, I'm sure you're going to like it.
