Wednesday May 03, 2023
Don’t skip this episode based on the title alone, give it a listen you might be surprised what you learn from Janine! So are you one of those people who is afraid to eat organ meats? Maybe you are grossed out by them and would rather pop an organ meat capsule. Or maybe you are interested in learning how to eat them and serve them to your family but have no idea how to prepare them. This is the episode for you! Janine shares her wisdom and knowledge on the benefits of eating organ meats (yes you want to, trust me!), where to source them, the secret to preparing them well, and so much more. In fact, she had so much to say about organ meats that we divided her interview into two episodes. Sit down with a mug of broth and laugh along with Janine, Corey, and me as she explains why these sacred foods are the most important foods we can eat.

In this episode, Corey and I had an entertaining and informative conversation with Natalie Kovarik and Tara Vander Dussen from the popular Discover Ag podcast. Natalie and Tara are two millennial female farmers who shared their experiences and expertise with us on dairy farming, the anti-meat narrative, nutrition and meat, feeding steers and dairy cows, labeling meat, and so much more.

Episode 29: The Cost of Real Food with Crystal La Brake
Wednesday Mar 08, 2023
Wednesday Mar 08, 2023
In this episode, Corey and I chat with Crystal from the Abundantly Blessed Homestead about how the cost of real food might be more affordable than we might think. Crystal gives lots of ideas on how to stretch your budget (ie: drinking broth before meals to help fill you up) while still eating nutrient-dense real foods. She also breaks down the cost of a few meals she has made for her family and compares them to the cost of purchasing the same processed food version. While this episode does mention specific costs of certain foods, inflation and the market is ever-changing, and since this episode was recorded there has been some fluctuation. We address this at the end of the show for clarification for our listeners.
