Food!
I love food- I love to cook, I love to eat, and there is nothing, truly nothing that I love more than making a nice meal and sharing it with my family. I am pretty particular about where I source my food from and wanted to share some resources on the best of the best that I have found so far. This list is ever evolving as I learn and grow.
In general- we always buy organic and try to buy local. The red meat we buy is grass fed, the chicken and the eggs are pasture raised. We do this at the co-op or through TC Farm
I have previously talked about the co-op- I love it here!! Like I said before, they do a lot of the work for you. They carry high quality food and the people who work there are so kind. It’s my happy place. We buy some produce, some meat, dairy, and other groceries here. We also get our filtered water here- we fill up a few gallon jugs of filtered water and that’s what we drink and cook with- this works for us right now.
I have also discussed TC Farm- they have been a game changer for us. We get a lot of our meat, produce, and all of our eggs from them.
For recipes- I like to keep it simple most of the time. I love Half Baked Harvest and always check to see if she has a recipe for whatever I’m craving (she usually does)- then I will just modify her recipe based on what we have or what we want. Example: we had chicken thighs and I didn’t really know what I wanted to do with them, googled Half Baked Harvest chicken thighs and found this recipe that turned out soo good.
Other random brands we love:
Baroncinii Import & Co olive oil (order online)
Celtic sea salt (co-op)
Kalona SuperNatural dairy products, Kerrygold or Superkoloona butter, mix of cheeses from the co-op (typically raw cow’s milk or sheep/goat’s milk) (co-op or TC Farm)
Kettle and Fire bone broth (co-op)
Purity coffee (online)
Baker’s Field Flour & Bread for cooking, baking, bread, etc (co-op)- the BEST bread ever!!! Seriously so so good we are obsessed. (co-op)
Recipe I am currently hyper-fixated on:
Shut the Kale Up’s Picadillo recipe- so good! I skip the tomato and potato, double the veggies, and serve with rice (white rice cooked in chicken bone broth), Kolona sour cream, Late July chips and salsa (the best ever), and avocado. So easy and so delicious!
I am a big believer in 80/20- this is how we eat most of the time. I feel best mentally, physically, emotionally when we eat this way, but with that being said, we have room outside of this way of eating. We love the MPLS food scene and love going out to dinner or breakfast. Also- all of these choices did not happen over night. This is a shift that has taken years of learning and integrating certain choices into our lives when they make sense for us.
What am I missing? What else do you all want to know about? Let me know!!
Thanks for being here :)
