Email news this week brought this Betty Crocker recipe for Ravioli Casserole that looks very good for an easy, work-night meal made partly from prepared foods:
Trying to ‘zing up’ my husband’s favorite roast pork loin, I found several recipes for pork that include a fruit chutney that doesn’t look too pungent:

I’m in the belly of the beast, Los Angeles. I know that book Nourishing Traditions but I don’t have it. If I want a recipe of WAP I just get it online. The infant formula is AMAZING if the mom has no breast in, runs out, is sick, or the baby is adopted. I could rave about how healthy it is. And I do make bone broth all the time too... Weston A Price diet has more starchy bready carbs than I eat, but basically it is how I try to eat. It’s like a rich paleo. Very good for teeth too.
Today was one of those days. Obscenely hot, where you do feel like you are in a pizza oven. When it cooled into the 90s after sunset we went outside just to watch the first bats come out of their home. Still too hot to stay out there even after dark.
My husband wants to buy a side of grass-fed beef. We’re going to need a bigger freezer ;-)
See if you can find one with a “warm” level on it. That’s what I do with one of mine. I also have a new hot one that has no warmer, so I just turn it off after a while, and wrap a towel around it.
Then I check it and cook more if needed, once it’s burbling, then I turn it off and throw a towel around it. It’s not quite a fix it and forget it, but it still works.
I’m going to try some solar cooking too. Some of those are only about 200 degrees, so that ought to be plenty slow for tough cuts.
I’m on low carb/diabetic diet, so I don’t eat all those carbs either. My daughter bought the book and then asked me to look at it - I’ve had it for over a year now. I look at it a lot.
I haven’t mastered the overnight soaked flour/bread thing yet. I like sourdough bread, but hubby doesn’t, so I’m still experimenting.
After I started eating more butter, nuts, fats, meats and less starches, all my lipids pulled in line within a month. The Dr. was shocked. I told him I wasn’t following the Am. Heart Association diet guidelines and he said whatever you are doing keep it up.LOL
Yes, you are. We used to buy a hind quarter every year. Hubby’s brother owned a locker plant. When he retired, that’s when we started getting meat at the grocery store.
We bought a half and split it with our daughter about a year and half ago. It’s almost all gone, so we need to get on the list, if they are still in business.
Our problem is that we have nobody to share it with.
(I think my brother needs to be convinced to buy a bigger freezer ;-)
food processer. And the mayo works here.
I agree, get that brother straightened out. LOL
you betcha I'm ready for fall food....
Re: Crockpots.
I hate the new crockpots too.
I have an almost twenty y/o crockpot that has been used hard. It’s ugly, with melted bread bag residue, rust, a broken handle, etc.
I will never give it up.
If it dies, I plan to get a “new” one from the thrift store.
The thrift store has a lot of old fashioned crockpots.
It is amazing what low carb can do for your blood pressure or diabetes. It’s awesome the success you’ve had. And feeding the gut bugs with fermented foods and resistant starches is so good too. As long as you are eating healthy fats and proteins, real foods, you will stay this nourished and healthy.
my wedding present red crockpot was the best...from the mid 70’s....but it got itself broke...somebody was a bit too rough with it....the one I have now takes a whole lot more time to really get going...
Well, you know it’s hot there when it doesn’t cool down at night. That’s the beauty of a dry climate.
BLENDER COFFEE ICE CREAM
ING 2 cups Whole Milk, and 2 tb, divided, 3.4 oz pkg Vanilla Pudding Mix, 1/2 cup cold Espresso from instant, 1/4 cup HnH, 1/2 cup dark-chocolate covered almonds or use mini chocolate chips.
PREP add 3.4 ounces pkg dry Pudding Mix to 2 c whole milk. Whisk lightly/dissolve approximately one minute. Avoid over-mixing. If it thickens, it will be hard to pour. Pour into ice cube trays, then freezer eight hours.
FINAL Add vanilla ice cubes to blender, then mix with ½ cup espresso coffee and quarter cup HnH. Blender 30 sec. Add 1/2 c dark chocolate-covered almonds to the mix, then blender 30 sec. Just add mini chocolate chips, if using.
SERVE the uniquely tasting ice cream.
At an estate sale, recently, I came across a cigar box w/ about 200 of them. Swooped them up. I was so thrilled. They are mostly from CT dairies in the northeast.
All this led me to find this guy....
George Parmelee, with his restored 1956 family milk truck. It is said that George has the largest collection of milk bottles in the world.
So sweet....I want one of those bottles..
And did you know, there’s still an ice cream mfg that makes little cardboard cups w those same type of lift-off tabs?
I have one of those graters and it has lasted for years, I just keep it “loaded” and in a big Ziploc.
