You are right and a challenge

It has been pointed out to me that I do not post or generate very many recipes. Well, you are right (please, do not tell my husband that I know how to speak these words). I think that people who read this, who are seeking to learn, who actually follow this blog or my facebook page are better served learning food.

What do I mean by learning food? People are very disconnected from food. I can see this from the people who want to eat healthy but refuse to learn to cook to the meat eaters who find hunting or even many cuts of meat to be gross. Or, people come to me wanting lots of recipes - something fun or super flavorful and very easy. What about not having a recipe? What about preparing some high quality food with as few ingredients as possible and enjoying the flavor of the food. One thing I learned when I started buying pastured meat was meat has flavor. A pastured chicken has tons of flavor. Vegetables are sweet, bitter, spicy, savory, and lots of other descriptive words. And you can bring out other flavors by the cooking method.

Through Friday, I am looking for your favorite meal from the last week. You can post on my facebook page Eating With Mom. Scroll down to the highlighted thread. On Friday, January 18th, I will randomly select a winner to receive the cookbook Make It Paleo.

Our next challenge? For the next week, for one meal a day, eating as simply and yummily as possible. Meat, high quality fat, and veggie. Scale back on the seasonings - focus on complimenting rather than masking.

Let work on eating simply together. Mom
