If you’re reading this email, then you likely know the importance of food and its effects on your health. However, eating well by sourcing food from small farms can be expensive and consume a good portion of your budget.
Many customers have reported to me the desire to buy more small farm food but are held back by the prices. I’m hoping I can help this week.
It is possible. It is possible to eat delicious nutrient dense food and stay in budget. Even if you don’t incorporate these foods every day in every meal, you could start with stocking one real ingredient or one real meal per week.
Here are 4 simple farm meals to make your budget happy.
Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal
An easy nourishing breakfast. Our oats are pre-soaked - no need to soak the oats overnight. However, if you are using regular (non-soaked) oats, we recommend soaking the oats in the milk in the fridge for about 12 hours. This dish can be prepped the night before or made the morning of. Once baked, it can be stored in the fridge. Cut off a piece, reheat, and top with yogurt, milk, or maple syrup.
Sweet Bologna Sandwich
A great sandwich is something to cherish, and good unprocessed lunch meat is hard to find. This is a pleaser for all ages. A little sweet, a little spicy, a little smooth, and a little crunchy. Great for packed lunches.
“Melt-on-your-tongue” Chicken with Roasted Sweet Potatoes & Lard and Green Beans
This is a classic dinner with tried and true basically fail-proof recipes. It makes a complete wholesome dinner. Prep the chicken for 10 minutes and stick it in the oven in the morning. Then, spend 10 minutes prepping the veggies about an hour before dinner. Easy, fast, delicious.
Einkorn Chocolate Chip Cookies
A classic cookie made with heritage Einkorn flour. A special treat for you to share.
