Kale and Chickpea Salad
February 27th, 2023
This salad is loaded with micronutrients like vitamins A, B6, C, E, K, iron, magnesium, manganese, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, good carbohydrates and modest protein.
This is a bolus of necessary micronutrients for every day metabolism and bone health.
Kids will eat this if you offer it without a question of whether they will or won't. You offer high quality food at every meal and let them choose from the plate.

Liver with Bacon and Sherry Link
January 16th, 2023
Section III - Recipe of the Week
Liver is an amazing food loaded with iron, choline, folate, B12, B2, Vitamin A and good amounts of magnesium and phosphorus.
Eating a small amount of liver is a power punch of health (assuming the animal was healthy)!
We all need to find sources of natural, high quality macro and micronutrients and liver is a star in this space.
If you ever watch an animal eat another in the wild, you will rightly see that the organ meats are preferred over the skeletal muscle. I have seen this live in Wyoming and it is obvious that we as humans consume what we like and not what is best for survival. Ruminants and herbivores clearly get their nutrients by up cycling large volumes of plants. We are omnivores as a species leading me to see liver as a piece of a balanced diet based on nature's education.

Butter Lettuce Salad - a favorite of mine from a local restaurant called the Pickled Peach. Here is a variation on it from the Modern Proper.

Nicole recently made a version of this recipe, but she added toasted sunflower seeds and walnuts. She also used ghee instead of bacon fat. I added red bell pepper chunks and tomatoes to mine. There are so many permutations to make here to be satisfied. I did not put mushrooms on mine

would sub red peppers for the green type for the sweetness. Adding some chopped scallions makes me happy. Also, you could add some chunks of sopresatta and chick peas for more protein. Remember to get adequate protein in your diet at every meal.

Seafood Salad Cups by Giada
September 5th, 2022
Recipe of the Week:
- What brings this dish together is the fragrant herb and garlic dressing that does double duty as a marinade for the seafood. The result is such a vibrant, delicious salad - you can either chop the radicchio up and toss it all together as a big salad, or leave the radicchio leaves whole and serve it up in these great lettuce cups.
