Grass-fed beef is a popular choice if you’re seeking a more natural and sustainable option for your meat consumption. Unlike grain-fed cattle, grass-fed cattle are raised on a diet of grass and forage, resulting in beef that is reported to offer higher nutritional value and supports environmentally friendly farming practices.

While I am not passionate about backyard grilling, I do enjoy it...and I bet you do too. As we are nearing the end of the traditional “grilling season” in Northern climates, there’s no need to stop grilling just because football season has started, the kids are back in school, etc. In fact, temps have cooled slightly…and the days and nights are 100% perfection.

Who would have thought that ground beef, meatloaf, roasts and steaks could taste this amazing?

Creating great-tasting beef requires more than just grass.

In the vast landscape of American cuisine, there's an intriguing phenomenon that often raises eyebrows.

The apparent preference for processed, frozen and packaged foods over fresh, farm-to-table alternatives.

It's easy to dismiss this as a mere consequence of a fast-paced lifestyle, but it goes deeper than that.

Let’s explore a little.

A Short Journey For Improved Health For Your Family

As a parent, there are few responsibilities that weigh as heavily on your heart as ensuring the health and well-being of your children, right?

While not quite as alarming as the time you couldn’t find them at the park, thinking “Holy smokes...where is little Billy or Suzie!” ... only to be super relieved to see they were momentarily hidden behind a trash can...or they decided to go sit in the car! (Yes, both happened to me).

Good nutrition is more a longer-term, learned lifestyle and not as heart-pumping and fearful as a lost child!

Today, convenience often trumps quality, and many people find themselves troubled by the nutritional content, or lack thereof (i.e. crap!) in the typical American diet.

The Power of a Whole Food Diet in Managing Chronic Diseases

In a world where processed and convenience foods dominate the American diet, the concept of using food as medicine is gaining traction.

Research increasingly supports the idea that a whole food diet can play a crucial role in managing chronic diseases, offering a natural and sustainable approach to health.

Embracing Freshness and The Local Food Landscape

In recent years, the farm-to-table movement has experienced a surge in popularity, capturing the hearts and palates of consumers around the world.

This trend has become more than just a buzzword; it's a lifestyle choice driven by a collective desire for fresh, locally sourced food.

The basic definition of "Farm-to-Table" is that meals should be based on ingredients produced near where we live...eating locally grown food.

Let's explore the reasons behind the growing appeal of the farm-to-table movement and how it reflects a broader shift in consumer preferences towards sustainable, healthy and environmentally conscious choices.
