If you’re a cheese eater, there’s an easy way to save 2.6 hours per year!

That’s enough time for dinner and a movie. A yoga class. Reading an entire book. A 7-mile hike. Or extra sleep. 

All you need to do is buy shredded cheese instead of shredding it yourself.

I estimate that getting an 8oz cheese out of the fridge, finding the grater, grating the cheese, and cleaning up takes about 3 minutes total. Since I use grated cheese weekly, I multiplied by 52 weeks to figure I spend about 2.6 hours per year GRATING CHEESE.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mind a little elbow grease, especially when cooking. But, my hold up with shredded cheese has always been the options available

Conventional store bought shredded cheese is NOT simply cheese. There are other odd ingredients, too.

Anti-caking agents like potato starch, tapioca starch, or cellulose powder (AKA wood pulp) are added to prevent the cheese from clumping. 

Mold inhibitors like Natamycin are added, too. 

All of these are highly processed ingredients, far from what nature intended.

But now, my reality has changed with Miller’s shredded A2 cheese. There’s only one ingredient - cheese!

And, it’s cheese made naturally from 100% grass-fed A2 milk. No added flavor or color. Just milk, culture, rennet, and Celtic sea salt.

I keep it in my freezer, which means I don’t worry about mold. 

Since it comes in a resealable bag, I can easily use little bits at a time. 

And, I certainly don’t mind breaking clumps apart from time to time.

There are so many wonderful uses for shredded cheese!

I highly recommend joining the time saving movement with clean unadulterated shredded A2 cheese!

Egg yolk changes. We were greenwashed and are furious! Here's the scoop.

If you've followed our blog for some time, then you know that I do a good amount of muckraking on the food industry - conventional, organic, or otherwise. But, this week, I need to rake the muck on us (more specifically on our corn & soy free eggs)! Here's the scoop and everything you need to know about us formulating a new feed with a trusted source.

The lengths us natural foodies go through for healthy indulgences.

Just because you eat "healthy", doesn't mean that your food tastes bad (in fact, I find that it's quite the opposite with real nutrient-dense ingredients). And, just because you eat "healthy" doesn't mean that you don't indulge once in a while. You with me?I mean, I can't be the only crazy one out there that spends many joyous hours in the kitchen making much healthier versions of well-know brand name snacks for my kids. This week I made Mallomars. I recently took up donut making. And, in the past I've experimented with homemade Oreos, Cheez-Its, chocolate truffles, potato chips, and so much more. When my kids eat them and report that they're better than the storebought stuff they're had at parties and friends' houses... I mean... there's really no better compliment 🤭I know these foods aren't "healthy". But, by having ultimate control over my ingredients, I can make sure to use grass-fed A2/A2 dairy, einkorn or spelt flour, good saturated fats like butter or ghee or lard, and natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup. And plus, no crazy additives or preservatives or flavors or colors, too. This week I have an easy healthy indulgence for you... that doesn't require hours in the kitchen.A few weeks ago, a local bee farmer stopped by the farm. He gave us samples of his amazingly delicious creamed honey. My mind automatically said, "Yes!!!" Finally, a quick and healthy treat for my family.*In case you didn't know, creamed honey is honey that's vigorously whipped until it's creamy and white. And then, you can flavor it however you'd like.I'm happy to introduce to you 2 NEW RAW CREAMED HONEYS: Cinnamon Raw Creamed Honey: A delicious alternative to jam. Goes well on any crackers, bread, pancakes, and even on mashed sweet potatoes! It can also be used as a glaze on meats or to sweeten your yogurt or oats.Whole Lemon Raw Creamed Honey: A lovely replacement for any frosting on anything baked. Think drizzled on muffins, scones, pancakes…and of course, like all our honey, just by itself for a sweet little dessert. It can also be used as a glaze on meats or to sweeten your yogurt or oats. These honeys are 100% up to our standards. They're raw and unfiltered, GMO and pesticide free, never fed corn syrup, and all that good stuff. Do you have any healthy indulgences?
