SUMMER RECIPES SALMON WITH BROWN SUGAR GLAZE

ALOHA CHICKEN BURGERS

Serves: 4 Prep time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 10 minutes Ingredients 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 4 (6 ounce) boneless salmon fillets salt and ground black pepper to taste Directions 1. Preheat the oven’s broiler and set the oven rack at about 6 inches from the heat source; prepare the rack of a broiler pan with cooking spray.

2. Season the salmon with salt and pep-

per and arrange onto the prepared broiler pan. Whisk together the brown sugar and Dijon mustard in a small bowl; spoon mixture evenly onto top of salmon fillets.

3. Cook under the preheated broiler until the fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes.

PORK CHOPS STUFFED WITH SMOKED GOUDA AND BACON Serves: 2 Prep time: 15 minutes Cook time: 20 minutes Ingredients 2 ounces smoked Gouda cheese, shredded 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper 2 (2 1/4 inch thick) center-cut, bone-in pork chops 1 teaspoon olive oil 1/4 teaspoon salt ground black pepper Directions 1. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.

2. In a small bowl, combine the

cheese, bacon, parsley, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.

3. Lay the chop flat on cutting board, and with a sharp knife held parallel to the board, cut a pocket into the pork, going all the way to the bone, but leaving the sides intact. Stuff cheese mixture into pocket, and close with a wooden toothpick. Brush meat with oil, and season with salt and more black pepper.

4. Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes on each side, or until pork is done. Careful not to overcook!

DETROIT LAKES NEWSPAPERS

Ingredients 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 1/4 cup soy sauce 3 slices thick cut bacon 2 large hamburger buns, split 1 tablespoon softened butter 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce 2 slices Swiss cheese 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 slices pineapple 2 slices tomato 2 slices of iceberg lettuce Directions 1. Place chicken breasts into a plastic zipper bag with soy sauce, seal the bag, and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

While chicken is marinating, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate, and set aside. Spread cut sides of hamburger buns with butter.

2. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.

3. Remove the chicken from the soy sauce, and discard the excess soy sauce. Place the chicken breasts onto the preheated grill, and grill until chicken shows good grill marks, is no longer pink inside, and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. When chicken is almost done, brush each piece generously on both sides with teriyaki sauce to finish grilling.

Place a slice of Swiss cheese on each chicken breast, and cover with a lid to help the cheese melt onto the chicken.

4. While chicken is grilling, spread the buns open on the grill and cook until toasted and showing grill lines, about 2 minutes. Set the buns aside.

5. To assemble, spread the grilled sides of each bun with mayonnaise, and top each bottom bun with a cooked chicken breast, 1 1/2 slices of bacon, a slice of pineapple, a slice from a head of lettuce, a slice of tomato, and the top bun.

FOXY VISITORS MAKING A HOME AT THE REFUGE

A

ugust is the month to prepare for the cold months ahead.

Spend some time in nature to rejuvenate your spirit before the frigid temperatures arrive. Experience some vibrant early foliate color with native sumacs and observe the beauty of late summer flowers including yarrow, goldenrod, hoary alyssum and woodland sunflower.

Sample some late summer cuisine with raspberries, gooseberries, elderberries, pin cherries and chokecherries that can all be found 16 | SUMMER SCENE | JULY 2015

and picked south of Cty Hwy 26 in the visitor area. See you on the refuge where the blacktop ends and the backwoods begin!

Wildlife watching Here at Tamarac, wildlife is left undisturbed as they care for their young. Portions of the refuge are closed to the public during this crucial time, but many viewing opportunities still exist. The most optimum times for viewing wildlife occur around sunrise and sunset.

But sometimes even an after-

noon visit can be rewarding to the quiet, watchful observer.

To increase your chances of seeing wildlife, take a drive on the Blackbird Wildlife Drive.

This five-mile drive follows the edges of lakes, marshes and meadows. If you feel inclined to exercise, hike the 2 mile long Old Indian Hiking Trail and experience the beauty of the maple basswood forest.

Another option is to venture out on the North Country Trail which traverses 14 miles through the southern half of the refuge.

Foxy visitors Many of Tamarac’s visitors have enjoyed a special treat this summer.

Even though 43,000 acres of refuge land provides a great mix of habitat including forests, wetlands and open fields, two adult red foxes decided to raise a family of three right next to the visitor center.

The red fox is part of the canine or dog family. Though their name says “red,” not all red foxes are red. They

can be black, gray, brown or yellow.

Red foxes are small, weighing less than 15 pounds. The gray fox, a different species, actually climbs trees.

The two species can be distinguished by the tips of their tails. The red fox has a white tipped tail and the gray fox has a black tipped tail.

Tamarac’s habitats provide a great hunting ground for foxes.

They have their choice of rodents, rabbits, birds, fish and even insects.

They will also eat berries, nuts and seeds.

Foxes are great predators and opportunists. If there is something to kill, they will go for it even though they may not be hungry. They are one of a few predators that will “cache” its food, hiding it only to be eaten later.

A fox will make its rounds a few times a day in search of prey; covering a territory of approximately two square miles.

It is believed that foxes mate for life. Mating occurs in February with a litter of 1-10 kits arriving about two months later. These young will be raised in underground dens. The parents often prepare more than one den so that in case of danger, they can quickly move the family.

The kits will nurse for 10 weeks and will accompany a parent on the hunt when they are two months old.

By the time they are six months old, they are on their own.

Like all canines, foxes communicate mostly by scent. They mark their territories by urinating on bushes, stumps and rocks- just like your dog would do. They also have scent glands located near their tails and will mark territory that way, leaving a skunk-like odor.

Foxes also communicate with high pitched barks, yelps and scream-like howls.

It is special to witness nature first hand. One never knows what you might see with a visit to Tamarac.

Remember this is home to many species of furry and feathered creatures. Please keep a respectful distance while photographing in this place “Where Wildlife Comes First.”

DAYS GONE BY

ENJOY SUMMER FAVORITES FROM CLASSICS OF THE PAST

S

ummer is the season when many of the best childhood memories are made. That’s why introducing future generations to treasured pastimes is an ideal way to ensure classic summer moments live on for years to come.

Though the world has changed over the years, the simple pursuits of summers past can and should still live on. The long, warm days of the season are meant for making memories, and there’s no better way to do so than by revisiting “throwback” summer pleasures.

Reminiscing on the road Whether traveling across the country or state, a road trip is a terrific way to bond with family while exploring the world away from home. When parents take their children on a road trip to their favorite childhood vacation spots, they can explore how the sites have changed over time, and gain a whole new experience through their kids’ eyes.

Long trips on the road don’t have to require the latest technology like cell phones and tablets. To relieve boredom, parents can teach their kids classic road trip games from their youth like I spy, 20 questions or the license plate game. These timeless activities are a great way to have fun, pass time and encourage family bonding.

Nearby neighborhood fun Closer to home, there are undoubtedly various ways to fill the steamy days of summer, which many of today’s parents remember fondly from their own youth.

As shocking as it may be for kids today to learn that summer fun can exist beyond video games, tablets and other electronic devices, “unplugged” family fun may be just what the season calls for.

20 | SUMMER SCENE | AUGUST 2015

In many areas, families can find fun summer activities right in their own backyards. The joys of entrepreneurship with a lemonade stand at the end of the driveway can be just as fun for today’s children as they were for their parents. Making and sharing “summer camp” style friendship bracelets creates memories. Creating a colorful world in the driveway or on the sidewalk with chalk can also bring out a child’s artistic side, and can lead to other summertime favorites like hopscotch with friends.

Refreshing summer snacks Nothing says summer like enjoying a frozen treat on a hot day, and many generations have fond memories of chasing the Good Humor man driving that iconic Good Humor Truck down the street. Known as the original ice cream truck brand, Good Humor has been reimagining America’s favorite candies and desserts as frozen treats for more than 90 years.

Grab a frozen treat of any sort and head off to a park bench to enjoy a moment of peace outdoors.
