…f relief, and is just grateful that I am feeding it the foods it really needs. The recipe we are posting today is a simple yet delicious one that we have enjoyed 3 out of the 5 days we have been on the detox. This slow cooked lamb can cook easily over night in a crock pot and leaves plenty of left overs! I have had this lamb for quite a few breakfasts this week, and Bill and I enjoyed the remainder of it for dinner last night. Having left overs i…

…t! In preparation for all the interesting food items sent our way, we realized that we first needed to clear some room in the freezer to keep the array of random cow and chicken parts. First to go was the remaining grass fed lamb that we purchased from a good friend of ours, Sylvio Pellegrino, owner of Pellegrino Pastures in Ohio. We had so many cuts from the lamb that we purchased, that we had forgotten what we had left! After a quick peek thro…

My only memory of eating lamb was of when I was about three years old. I spent a lot of time at my grandmother’s house, and we frequently would cook together. My Grandy Kyp taught me how to cook many things when I was small, one of them was her classic “Chicken Soup” recipe that we have already featured. I don’t have a clear memory of cooking lamb with her, but I do remember that we indeed cooked it, and that I ate it! Bi…

…rounded out the recipe with carrots, onion and some Imagine organic beef stock. It all gets tossed into a crock pot and left to cook for 6-8 hours – so simple! The key to juicy, grass fed beef success is “low and slow” – ie. low heat for a long time! Ingredients: 3lb Chuck Roast (certified organic, grass fed – on sale now at RMOM!) 4-5 carrots, peeled and sliced 1 large onion, cut into chunks 5 turnips, quartered 2…

A few months ago we receive a package of lamb from Lava Lake Lamb. We received a package of lamb sausages, a bone in leg of lamb, and a rack of lamb. Lamb is one of our favorite choices of meat. We have gotten lamb arm chops from US Wellness Meats twice, and we have purchased an entire lamb (butchered) from our friend’s farm, Pellegrino Pastures TWICE this year. Uh, yeah, you heard that right, we have gone through two entire lambs in the c…

About a month ago we received a very large shipment of grass fed meat from our friends at US Wellness Meats. Not only did we receive some great cuts of steak, we also received some cooked items in our package such as this slow cooked, pulled beef. Many of you may remember, or have even tried our pulled pork recipe from a month ago. If you enjoyed that recipe, then this breakfast is for you. You could even use leftovers from our pulled pork reci…

This fall one of our favorite restaurants, Legume featured a gluten-free braised lamb shank dish. Beware when ordering a dish like that out at a restaurant, because gluten will often hide in the sauce. The one at Legume was fine though. Anyway… I ordered it twice, not in one night, but I ordered it twice. It was delicious both times. We are stuck in the polar vortex, and comfort food is a must right now in Pittsburgh. Therefore, it’s…

ing to say is that for the first time, I was truly able to see food as art, a gift, something magical, and something for which we should all be more grateful. For our last dinner with Stacie and my grandfather, we enjoyed lamb chops baked in a crust of fresh rosemary and dried porcini mushrooms. Bill and I both love lamb (clearly, since we drove halfway to Cleveland to buy an entire lamb), so we were really looking forward to this meal. It wa…
