Menu Planning Monday

May 4, 2015 superexhausted

Menu Planing This week is a beautiful weather. It makes me want to plant and grow veggies. We went to my husbands family farm this weekend. As we drove home we stopped by a plant nursery purchased veggies, a well established beef steak tomato plant. I also purchased 4 different peppers red, green, yellow, and purple. The finally veggies is zucchini which I will really enjoy during the summer, my kids really like roasted zucchini almost like a chip.

I am really looking forward of becoming one with my food, since I love to cook. I have great plans to do it every year, then vacation happens and they all die. So this year we are not going away so I am hopping I can keep my crop going. On Pinterest I have found some great ideas for simple irrigation methods. Also I have been reading about dirty and how to have great healthy rich soil. The concept of growing your own veggies seems like a great idea.. but it also seems like it can be expensive, if you don’t figure out some great DIY methods. Check out on my pin board some great ideas.

Protect the Bees with Whole Foods

April 18, 2015 superexhausted

Protect the Bees with Whole Foods A few weeks ago I had the pleasure to learn about bees and the affect on our food with Whole Foods share the buzz. I know that you have heard that honey bees are not doing well, that they are threaten by the environment and pesticides. Yes they are but do you know that you can help them recover.

Easy ways to help the bees:

Think about when you use pesticide on your lawn. If you have seen bees or butterflies it might because you and your neighbors are using too much pesticide. Holding off on using these chemical
Plant Flowers, mikweed, fruits, and vegetables.
Corn that are gmo’s can affect the bees so even if you neighbors garden
Healthy soil= healthy food = healthy humans

Without the pollinators in our world many of the foods on our salad would not be available. Check out this Whole Foods article

I loved learning about the how the pollinators and how they affect our food. Plus adding the rewards of bees honey to our food is so delicious.

Cheese and honey are amazing.

Whole food offers local honey from bee keepers in your area. Some people take a teaspoon local honey everyday to help with there pollen allergies. I am loving this honey right now and my husband is taking the honey to help with his seasonal allergies.

I have to say one of my favorite things I tried was the Borsari which is $6.00 at my local whole foods. I love this spice it has pollinators in it, a little lavender, salt, and other spices. It is strong but a family favorite, I have been using on salads, meats, fish. I love it on a tomato sandwich.

Whole Food is offering many brands that help protect the bees purchase these during april and donation will be made to help protect the bees.

Cascadian Farms, Almond Breeze and Almond Butter have all pledge to helping save the bees.

I also leaned about the Rodale Institute located outside Allentown PA. that is a farm that is dedicated to creating practical farming practices to make the grown food health and sustainable. to lean more check out the Organic Manifesto.

There is so much to learn about bees and the affect on the food we eat.

Healthy soil= healthy food = healthy humans

Disclosure: I received a gift bag for attending this event.

June 9, 2014 superexhausted 14 Comments

The best venison marinade : I grew up in a family where venison(deer meat) was a regular staple. My father was a amazing hunter and cook. So venison in all forms had a regular place a our table. From Roast to chilli to steaks. In college my roommates and I lived on a steady stream of deer meat that my father would provide us, it was meat we could always afford because it was well free. My son actually gets excited when Pa provides Venison

For my entire life I never understood why people tell me they don’t like the taste of deer meat. It is a lean cut of meat deer do not have the fat of a cow. From what I have been told that deer can be tough if not cooks properly. After watching my father for years I have learned his trick for making the best venison marinade you will ever make and eat. This simple venison steak recipes and time will make the most tender venison steaks you will every bite amazing.

The best venison marinade:

2 lb of Venison steaks
1 cup of Orange Juice
1/4 cup Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon of minced garlic

Put ingredients in a gallon zip lock bag.
Marinade for 24 hours – or overnight
Gook on grill or frying pan , med rare
