The Bison Girl :: a lifestyle of good cooking, good eating & living well

So this summer, after a lot of waiting, my company, NebraskaBison.com, finally got in a product I have been working towards for a long time: Bison Italian Sausage Brats . Since then, I have been enjoying testing them and creating some new dishes with them as they are so so so tasty! You may have already seen my post for Pasta with Bison Sausage and Vegetables  and today I am bringing you a homemade pizza recipe using our Italian Sausage! First, a couple cool things about this Italian Sausage, because they aren't just any other sausage. 100% bison meat: we don't use any other meats or fats in these sausages. They are just bison meat and seasoning. Simple as that. No MSG. No added Nitrates or Nitrites Come in Mild and Hot flavors. You can see why they are already off to a great start. They have a lot of positives, and once you taste their great flavor, you'll be hooked! So, back to the pizza. I already knew these sausages were great on the grill, and gr...

I am so excited today! Today I got to take a pasta dish I've made for a long time and upgrade it to bison! I've long had a Pasta with Sausage and Vegetables that I've made... every once in awhile I would substitute the Italian sausage for little bison meatballs, but it is just so much better with sausage. Well, this summer, we've finally introduced our Bison Italian Sausages at NebraskaBison.com, so I can finally start making this dish with Bison! There it is in all it's colorful deliciousness! And it's pretty straight forward to prepare. Ready? Great! For this dish, I've used the Hot Bison Italian Sausage that we've just released over at NebraskaBison.com. It has no MSG, no added nitrates or nitrites, no added preservatives and is ALL bison meat – no added pork or beef! Start by taking your frying pan and adding about a tablespoon of olive oil to it and turn on to medium heat. Add sliced onion and sliced green onion and 2 ful...

Seriously. Because this is my mom's recipe. See what I did there? Except actually, I wouldn't know because I don't think I've ever actually had my mom's biscuits and gravy. She always made other breakfast when she made biscuits and gravy, because while Dad loved them, the rest of us were too stubborn to try. Which is too darn bad. Because these are phenomenal. The truth is, I didn't know I liked biscuits and gravy until I had my first apartment in college. I decided to give mom's recipe a try - and once I actually looked at the ingredients, I realized it probably wasn't as scary as it looked. I've never looked back from there. I love making biscuits and gravy now, although I don't make them very often. That requires getting up to work right after waking up in the morning on a weekend. No thank you! But there are those times when nothing can hold me back from the thought of nice warm biscuits smothered in this thick, creamy gravy... and on those...
