Eggnog is an old fashioned drink, a very old fashioned drink. Although its exact lineage is debated amongst historians, there is general consensus that it originated from the early Medieval drink called posset.
Tallow. Bacon grease. Lard. Butter. Goose liver. These are bad, right? After a lifetime of anti-fat propaganda based on soft science, it’s understandable that you may still be fearful of butter and steak. However, there’s an overwhelming amount of research (and common sense) telling us otherwise.
Once you’ve been eating 100% grass fed and finished beef for a while, the conventional grain-fed counterpart loses its luster. Truly pastured grass-fed beef will be tougher and full flavored (and sometimes even a bit “gamey”), making the conventional option often taste mushy and lackluster. How has this become the normal American standard?
At the WAPF Conference last weekend, it was wonderful to be in my bubble. Everyone had an interest in a junk-free lifestyle - from nourishing food to EMF prevention. I was immersed in knowledge about the benefits of eating traditional diet: lots of animal fat, lots of animal protein, lots of veggies and fermented foods, and a little carbs. It’s the diet that humans evolved thousands of years to eat. So I get back from the conference, and then comes Thanksgiving. If you’re talking about traditional foods, Thanksgiving dinner should fit right in. But… one of our family members is vegan. Gasp!
Whether every few days or every few weeks, meal planning is when you think about what you’ll be eating in advance, make a plan, and stick to it. Especially when raising a family, meal planning is essential. It helps you reduce waste, minimize your food budget, save time, and limit your stress.

It’s ok.
Imagine you are a cow, and it’s a chilly fall night. You look around and see a steaming pile of fresh manure. What would you do? You’d sit down and squoosh your udders into that soft warm pillow and fall fast asleep. This is why, when the cows go in for the 5am milking, their teats are filthy! An average farmer simply coats the teats in iodine and leisurely wipes them with a paper towel. Our farmer is beyond average. He’s exceptional.
