Egg Love in the Form of a Kale & Sweet Potato Frittata

From one egg lover to another: this frittata is downright delish.  It uses our Heritage Breed eggs that I love for many reasons, of them, that by eating them I avoid jail...and don't have to actually feed chickens at the crack of dawn.  

Green Bean, Arugula, and Asparagus Brown Basmati Rice with Chorizo

Sausage is one of those foods that can get a pretty bad rap.  And yes sir, in some cases it should -- with factory farmed pigs living in dirty conditions, well, it’s not rocket science that that meat probably isn’t the best thing for you.  But pastured pork, like the kind we proudly deliver, is a different story, it’s good for you -- and yes, even the fat it contains is healthy for your body.  Why? Because it contains conjuguated linoleic acids, Omega 3s, Vitamin A D & E, and a whole slew of other good stuff you need to have a healthy heart, brain, and immune system.  

Resolution I Don't Plan to Break in Two Weeks: Eat More Greens

 

Happy 2013 -- let's make it clean and GREEN! 

It’s easy to add on greens to my weekly box, so I’m simply going to try to vary the ones I choose. This week I got a few extra bunches of collard greens and between that and the arugula, I’m going to be eating leaves every day this week.  My three fail safe methods of eating greens are simple: drink them in a smoothie, saute them in coconut oil and balsamic vinegar, or toss them with olive oil, a little lemon juice and salt.

Use It Up: Orange and White Scalloped Goat Cheese Potatoes

What a medley: goat cheese, sweet potatoes and some Yukon Golds.  Somebody (me) has died and gone to heaven.

Farm Fresh Holiday Eggnog

Here is my secret recipe for eggnog (guess who can't keep a secret?!).  It packs a punch but what actually knocks this classic Christmas bevvie outta the park is its quality ingredients.  Farm fresh eggs, milk and cream from pastured cows -- there is just no way any store bought brand could be half as good.  No high fructose here!
