Link'd Hearts Ranch

A poultry farmer who quite literally has food in her yard… wasn’t getting enough protein. 😂

Yep. That would be me.

After a recent doctor’s visit, I kept a food journal for a week. One thing became clear: I talk about eggs for breakfast and chicken for dinner all the time, but my own lunch needed a little attention.

So I’ve been putting our chicken and eggs to work in some easy grab-and-go lunches. This week’s experiment? Chicken salad, whole wheat crackers, and a few baby dill pickles.

I shared the story—and my easy chicken salad recipe—in this week’s Let’s Chat Chicken.

🍄 One of the unexpected perks of spending my summer at farmers markets?

The other farmers become your neighbors.

All summer, I’ve been set up near Chesed Farms , a local producer of gourmet mushrooms, at two of my markets. Find them at Moscow Farmers Market and Richland Farmers Market.

That has meant sampling different mushroom varieties and slowly expanding my family’s mushroom palate beyond the usual grocery-store varieties.

And naturally... eventually those mushrooms found their way into my kitchen. 😉

That little farmers market experience inspired one of the recipes in this week’s blog:

Creamy Chicken, Wild Rice & Mushroom Soup.

Tender Link’d Hearts Ranch chicken, wild rice, mushrooms and homemade chicken broth—all together in one cozy fall dinner.

Sometimes you go to the farmers market to sell what you grow...

and come home inspired by what the farmers around you are growing. ❤️

The recipe is waiting for you in this week’s Let’s Chat Chicken. https://linkd-hearts-ranch.square.site/s/stories/lets-chat-chicken-when-the-weather-turns-we-make-soup

🍂 When the weather turns, we make soup.

There’s just something about those first cool mornings that makes me want a pot of soup simmering on the stove.

And lately I’ve noticed more and more bags of chicken soup bones disappearing from my farmers market freezers.

I love that.

Because good food doesn’t have to be expensive to be nourishing. Sometimes it’s a bag of bones, a whole chicken, a pot of water and a little time.

This week on Let’s Chat Chicken, I’m sharing four recipes for soup season:

🍗 My Simple Chicken Bone Broth
🥣 Classic Chicken Noodle Soup
🌶️ Weeknight White Bean Chicken Chili
🍄 Creamy Chicken, Wild Rice & Mushroom Soup

Plus, I made you a printable recipe sheet with all four recipes to keep in your kitchen.

Come read this week’s Let’s Chat Chicken and get ready for soup season. ❤️
