When Chris first approached me about writing for From Scratch Club (over a year ago! woot!) we were both excited for me to write about meals and recipes that were a bit more meat-centric. I’m not a “Meatless Monday” kind of gal. I’m more of a “oh you aren’t eating meat on Monday? MORE MEAT…

{Recipe} Aunt Marie’s Swedish Meatballs
I posted a photo of these meatballs to Instagram and Facebook and few months back and the response was definitive: everyone wants my recipe. Here it is, Aunt Marie’s gift to you, Jennifer — When I met Aunt Marie back in the 1980s she was an active mother, grandmother and wife of the former mayor….
{meet the meat} Grass Fed Ground Beef
You wouldn’t think that ground beef would need it’s own blog post, would you? Well, it does. Ground beef from feedlots (ie. the stuff you generally get in the conventional grocery store) is relatively forgiving. You can cook the heck out of it and it still tastes the same. Many a frying pan of taco…
{recipe} Artless Joes
In preparation for the summer hamburger grilling season, we stocked up on ground beef from West Wind Acres. Unfortunately, the weather hasn’t cooperated with the concept of cooking with fire outside. On to the stovetop! I decided to try making a healthier and less slippery version of Sloppy Joes, more of an Artless Joe approach….

{meet the meat} Pork Shoulder
I’m not shy about my love of meat. Some poor misguided soul recently confused me with someone who does “Meatless Mondays” on a regular basis. Um… no. Don’t get me wrong. I do enjoy a nice veggie meal once in a while (I’m looking at you, mujaddara), but more often than not, what I look…
{FSC PODCAST} Episode 5: Raising Animals (for food)
Raising animals for food. It’s a tricky subject, but we are tackling it with gusto in this month’s podcast. We’ve talked about growing vegetables, joining CSAs to pay someone else to grow vegetables and we’ve even talked a little bit about backyard chickens. Now we are bringing you an extended interview with a local meat…
{recipe} Jerusalem Artichoke & Beef Enchiladas
Recently I’ve been trying to incorporate as many veggies as possible into our meals so that I don’t get too behind on all my CSA goodies. It’s amazing how much stuff I get each week so I really need to keep track and plan things out because I absolutely hate wasting food. This week I…
{New Year} Loco for Local
Just like everyone else who writes for this blog, I tend to avoid making New Years Resolutions. It seems like a loaded, sentimental effort that for most people tends to not pan out. This year, however, I have been considering my resolution for some time and feel ready to make a sincere commitment. As we…
