Woah, Spring has started off with a bang here!
How's it going for you?
We all got quite sick two weeks ago, and then I was directly plunged into the Spring-grant-cycle-deadline madness, we started lambing, we got the biggest snowstorm of the year so far, and now we are getting highs in the 50s.

What a wild couple of weeks!
I feel like our life is being held together by broth...
Do you ever feel that way?
It took my stomach quite a long time to get back to being ok with eating meals again, so having a constant batch of broth to sip on and make soups with was an absolute lifesaver.
My favorite book for soups/broth recipes is Nourishing Broth by Sally Fallon.

In her book she talks about how the culinary industry defines stock differently than broth, and how confusing it can get. Fortunately in the the book they use the terms interchangeably because the only broth or stock worth eating is one made from bones with fat, meat, and cartilage still on them that all breaks down into a rich collagen-filled liquid base that you can expand upon for so many dishes.

The key is in the jiggle.
If you don't have broth or stock that jiggles, you aren't doing something right and you need to up your ratio of bones that contain joints and connective tissue to get the full benefits of cooking with and consuming broth.
Need help finding those good bones for that jiggly stock that holds life together???
We have got your back!
I have Lamb Soup Bones, Chicken Feet, Chicken Heads, and a variety of chicken, lamb, and pork organ meats ready for you to toss in the crock pot and enjoy in those brief moments between the madness.
I love adding organ meats to slow-cooked beans, chilis, soups and stocks as a fantastic way to replenish your mineral and nutrient reserves after coming out of a bout of sickness- you don't even taste they are there, but you can sure feel the difference after eating them!

I love meals that you can throw in the crock pot and forget about... and ones that come together in less than 30 minutes.
This time of year the days are starting to get long again and we find ourselves without much time to eat, so we just end up eating pieces of meals rather than fully prepared, thought-out masterpieces.
Please tell me it's not just us...

Because of this, it's the time of year our freezer starts to look a bit...empty.
I have been working through all of the frozen leftovers of huge batches of curry, and enchilada sauce, and busted packages of meat with freezer burn... yeah, my freezer is getting THAT empty.
I have heard that a lot of my friends are in the same boat, so I teamed up with one of our rancher friends, Bridger Rardin, to offer some bulk grass-finished ground beef packages to help you replenish your supply of ground beef for easy and quick meals for this CRAZY time of year.
Here they are in 3 different sizes:
10 lbs
20 lbs
40 lbs
Grab yours and get a FREE Copy of Our Cookbook to help you whip up some quick and delicious meals that don't take all that much effort. Some of the recipes in this book are just awesome for freezing and re-heating later too.
I'm all about cooking and cleaning once and eating several times off of that single meal-prep session.
Optimal nutrition for the least amount of effort feels and tastes SO GOOD!
Here's to happy eating and the replenishing of your freezer and your body this Spring.
Until next time,
-BJ, Peter, and the Taste of the Wind Crew
