Hi, friend! Thanks so much for stopping by the bright side of the road.  Here’s a little insight as to why I decided to embark on this blogging adventure with such an unusual theme…

I am a simple girl living in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, but happen to have a great love for the outdoors, particularly hunting and fishing. While it may come as a shock to a lot of people, both men and women, hunting is one of my favorite hobbies and pastimes. I grew up under the influence of my dad – an epic hunter and avid outdoorsman. I’ve always done a fair amount of my hunting with him, and we spend a good portion of our father/son daughter time in the woods. I am lucky enough to be married to another outdoorsman, and one who has a strong passion for fishing, at that. There are also a great many hunting, fishing, and travel adventures with our dear friends that provide some of the best times I’ve ever had and memories I will never forget, taking in Mother Nature and enjoying the bounty that God has provided for us on Earth.

Along with my outdoor adventures, I try to bring you as many home-made recipes as I can, all based on the “field-to-table” idea that is becoming more and more widespread. Having hunted and fished most of my life, this is not a new concept to me, but I enjoy the growing popularity of it. I had my first [bacon-wrapped] dove when I was probably 6 years old, and I am certainly no stranger to the wide variety of dishes you can make with 1 deer’s worth of venison throughout the year. It’s already hard to beat a good, home-cooked meal, but especially when you know right where everything you’re eating has come from, and exactly how it got to your plate – you.
