I have a hostess who is holding a show the night before deer hunting season opens this month. She wanted to know if there are any recipes that could tie into a theme like that? I'm almost thinking of something related to Chippendales dancers or a similar idea, but have no clue where to begin. Does anyone have any suggestions on hunting-related recipes or even the male dancer idea?

sorry, i gotta share my tenderloin recipe... I know it isn't for your show.. but thought I'd share
in your crock pot put in the deer tenderloin, add a packet of lipton onion soup mix packet, onion (sliced) couple dashes worchestire (spelling), cream of mushroom soup. garlic, salt and pepper. place everything in there... let cook on low for a few hours (I like to start it in the morning and eat it in the evening)... it is absolutely amazing.. I don't like mushrooms, but love this.. the worchestire, soup mix and cream of mushroom makes this "gravy" and the meat is soooo tender.. My daughter loves this, now I just wish I had some tenderlion!!!!
Hope you enjoy. I don't think I have forgotten anything

I make this same recipe but with a beef roast in the oven, wrapped in foil. It's called workperson roast because you put it in the oven when you leave for work at 250 and it's done when you get home. It is the most tender roast you will ever eat and I usually buy the cheapest roast I can find, because is cooks up so tender you cant tell.

Thank you so much for the Deer Meat recipe. We have been blessed with 15 # of deer meat from a friend who was successful the first time out bow hunting this season. We have used two of the roasts already, and my son-in-law prepared it with fresh garlic stuffed in slits he cut in the roast. Salt and pepper was his seasoning on the outside, as far as I know. I love the texture of the meat, and the flavor too.

All y'all are killing me!I miss deer meat so much! In Texas we had a friend who went hunting every year, and always "bagged" a deer, but his wife wouldn't touch the stuff. We were on his good side (and worked hard to stay that way 
), so we got LOTS of meat every year. Haven't had any since we moved to NM though... anybody wanna ship this poor-no-deer-meat-to-be-had-preggo some packed in dry ice????
Enjoy your goodies!!!!!

I fry me deer meat. Then put it in the crock pot with 6 cups of water and a one package each of mushroom, onion and brown gravy mix and cook for about 4 hours. Make a great gravy too with the crust and all. You may need to add a little water if it gets too thick.
You could use the grilling tools and grill skewers. We soak ours in Dales then wrap in bacon and grill. You can also add peppers and onions or anything else to the skewers to grill too.
This is making me hungry!

The "Anti-man" show would be funny. Serve girly drinks (you know, bright colors with fruit on a stick), have some frou-frou salad or something and definitely a chocolate dessert.Here's a great drink that a cluster-mate gave me. I served it at a home party I hosted, and they were a big hit.The anti-naughty-word filter might catch the name of this. So, it's a word that starts with a "P" and rhymes with "corn".

Venison RecipesHi All,
I just posted two venison recipes on the site. One for Venison Stroganoff, the other a little fancier for Poached Venison Shank. Neither one is a Pampered Chef recipe, so the tool list is not accurate.
Just thought I'd add for those deer meat lovers out there. You can substitute beef for either recipe!
