Rarely am I able to win in all my roles during a day. This week was no different.

Monday - I was an excellent producer and wrapped up poultry processing for the season.

Tuesday - I was an excellent homemaker/gardener and took Red Star Ranch bones with our homegrown onions to make French Onion soup. 17 jars are in the pantry for a quick lunch or to season a roast this winter. Plus an additional 6 jara of bone stock.

Wednesday- I juggled.

Today - I am being a present mom. Currently in the passenger seat on our way to the high school football game so I can sneal in the post I was supposed to make on Tuesday.

Take a few minutes for yourself. Sneak onto our website and win at feeding your family this month. Go for the bones, osso, short rib combo for some delicious nourishing bone stock.

What do all these beef cuts have in common?

Right now I need the meals that re-heat well more than anything. Boys are coming home from practice at different times and they are starving! All of them make a delicious first meal and then can be used as the shining star of enchiladas for a leftover meal. Do the big slow roast or large batch of carne asada for a first round and the leftovers make for a quick casserole or slow cooker meal later in the week.

This is in the works for a brisket next week (my favorite base for enchiladas). This week - I cooked a 5 # package of ground beef and will be using the leftovers for chili tomorrow night.

Life is busy, fast and chaotic. It is the little tweaks to cooking that keep meals on the table.

September dates are on my calendar. Make sure you have a reminder set to get your order in!

Pick up dates don't work for you? Remember we offer home shipping across southern Idaho and northern Utah. Your zip code not included when you try to place an order? Reach out...I have been adding zip codes as we go. The shipping area is expanding and I don't want you to miss out.

There is that thought...we go together like peanut butter and jelly.

At Idaho Food Coop, the saying is we go together like meat and potatoes.

Our favorite pesticide-free potatoes are here for a limited time.

ALL three of the ladies of the Idaho Food Coop have birthdays in August. Jaime's was earlier in the week, Shawna's is today and mine is next week.

Some of you may not know but Shawna and I are cousins - our Nampa, Meridian and Penguin customers will know her! There is a picture at my parent's house of us with my horse...we are adorable. I don't have it so you get a picture of our dad's when they were little boys. 🥰 I recently was given a jump drive with hundreds of pictures that my Grandpa took over the years. There is something special about those old photographs that aren't perfectly framed, re-posed or touched up.

Happy Birthday Shawna!

Wanna start an argument among young men? Ask them to agree on pizza toppings for Friday night pizza night.

In a family of four - we would all pick a different pizza. We live far enough from town that our pizza night is either a frozen pizza or a homemade pizza. Like so many things, homemade is the most delicious.

During the summer, my pizza would include hot Italian sausage, zucchini, fresh tomatoes and what ever pepper (maybe spicy, maybe not) is ripe in my garden. My boys are meat lovers and would go with sweet Italian sausage, ground beef and pepperoni. One wants a single meat pizza, one wants an all the meats pizza and one wants to add mushrooms. The one thing we do agree on is that chicken doesn't belong on a pizza 😂.

As you put together you order for August, remember to include some pizza toppings (even chicken) for the fall nights ahead.

Things I've done this summer...

I taught myself to de-bone chicken thighs and cook them so I like them. The boys in my family love chicken thighs and I strongly prefer my meat boneless. I used to cook them and then just eat the sides.

My trick is to de-bone them the day before I cook them. I am a quesy meat salesman??? Give me some time and distance from the prep and they are delicious 😂

You can't surprise me with questions I get asked about using the whole animal anymore. We truly believe in going nose-to-tail whenever possible to and still meet all the food safety guidance.

Beef Kidney Fat is one of those items that gets thrown away by so many processors but we have it in stock. It is a great way to utilize more of the animal and add value to our customers. For the first time since last fall, I don't have a wait list! Get yours for your winter skin care before it goes!
