Basic Grass-fed Beef Meatloaf Recipe

I think meatloaf is one of those dishes that doesn’t get enough credit. Whenever you mention it, people cringe with a look of disgust on their face. I’m not really sure where the negative image of meatloaf came from, but I love it. It’s simple and hearty. It can be fancy or basic. It tastesContinue Reading

Grass-fed Stout Beef Stew Recipe

I had some grass-fed beef stew meat that I needed to use up and knew I wanted a hearty beef stew, but I wanted to do something a little different. Adding beer to beef stew is pretty common, especially around St. Patrick’s Day. So, I decided to give it a whirl. The stew is very richContinue Reading

Citrus Balsamic Chicken With Buttery Herb-Roasted Potatoes Recipe

I love anything with a balsamic glaze, but I never bothered with making my own. Until now.

Did you know that the phrase Shepherd’s pie didn’t appear untilContinue Reading

Spicy Crockpot Chicken

Winter is here and that means that crockpot season is in full swing! I love cooking meals in the crockpot because it’s one of those “set it and forget it” meals, which makes my life a whole lot simpler! This recipe was inspired by my friend Penelope and it was a big hit the first time IContinue Reading

Well, we received our box of beef Sun Prairie Natural Beef yesterday and had our first taste of the meat tonight with one of their top sirloins. It was delicious!
