Overnight French Toast

🥂 Overnight French Toast - make with your favorite Staff of Life whole grain loaf or Éban's gluten-free artisan bread and our farm's black walnut syrup or Whispering Wind maple syrup. (For either type of bread, allow slices to dry out overnight or dry in a low oven (300 degree F) for about 20 minutes until dry but not toasted before adding to casserole.) Pair with mixed berries, scrambled pastured eggs, and Baked Bacon, below.

Baked Bacon

Baked Bacon - make with our pastured pork smoked bacon or beef smoked bacon. (Variation on the recipe: for lovers of tender bacon, you can also forego the aluminum foil and baking racks, and cook directly in the baking sheet. Collect the clean pastured fat while it's still liquefied, and store in a sealed jar to use as a nutrient-dense cooking oil.)

Christmas Quiche

🥂 A variation on Laura's Broccoli Bacon Quiche! Use raw milk Gouda and pastured eggs, your favorite meats (smoked bacon/ends, sausage, Canadian bacon) and a combination of green and red veggies (for example spinach & tomatoes, broccoli & red bell pepper). *recipe also includes non-dairy alternatives

Quiche Crust

🥂 Homemade Pie Crust - make with pastured lard for incredible flakiness...and the healthy fats, vitamins, and essential nutrients that make pastured pork lard one of the world's top 10 nutritious foods (really!)

Sausage, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich

A Green Farm classic - no recipe needed! Pork breakfast patties, pastured eggs, your favorite raw milk cheese, and a gluten-free or whole grain bun/English muffin/biscuit. Serve with hash browns and orange slices.

Family Friendly Weeknight Bolognese

If you're like me, family dinners are important. It feels like there are a million different responsibilities these days, and it's easy to get so busy that there doesn't seem to be time to sit down as a family and enjoy a filling, nutritious meal - much less cook one! The more I learn about the food industry, the more committed I become to making my family's food from scratch as much as possible. So then the challenge becomes finding recipes that fit my criteria... For a meal to be a winner in my book, here's what it needs to be: easy to make with very few separate stepseasy flexibility for dietary needs of individual family memberscustomizable for personal tasteeasy to swap ingredients to a) make it seem like a different dish sometimes and b) use what I have on handbe overall inexpensive (since I have a growing family of 6)have no "weird" ingredients or crazy spices. (In other words, it has to be "kid approved") Now. A quick browse on Pinterest might yield hundreds of recipes that mostly match those criteria, but as soon as I click the mouth-watering picture and actually read the recipe, my stomach churns at all the pre-packaged, ingredient-laden, seed-oil-filled "conveniences" that cook used. 😞 My meals also must be nutritionally dense and use no mystery ingredients or seed oils. Since I created this family-friendly weeknight Bolognese recipe that actually meets all of these requirements, I thought I'd share, because you may be "in the same boat" searching for recipes like this for your family, too. Hannah's Family Friendly Weeknight Bolognese Ingredients: 16 oz dry pasta (For extra kid-friendliness, I usually choose penne or rotini) 1 pound ground beef 1 pound ground pork sausage (My go-to is breakfast sausage, but you can use any flavor. It does need to be pork sausage because of the fat content.) 2 whole carrots (diced) 1 small onion (diced) 1 1/2 tsp salt (I only use REAL salt) 1/2 tsp ground black pepper 1 tsp EACH dried basil, dried oregano, dried parsley (substitute with 1 Tablespoon of fresh herbs when able. 😊) 4-8 garlic cloves (diced) - depending on size and preference 16-32 oz pasta sauce or tomato sauce - based on preference (I use my home-canned tomato sauce, but any will do) 1/2 cup whole milk or heavy cream (again, depending on preference) Steps: Cook pasta according to package instructions for al dente and set aside. Cook and crumble meats together in a large saucepanIn the meat pan, add vegetables and spices/herbs and cook until tenderAdd tomato sauce and simmer for 10-15 minutes to infuse flavorsStir in milk (or cream) and cook until warmStir sauce into cooked pasta and serve immediately with parmesan Recommended sides: Green salad or caprese (tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper) Sauteed kale or Swiss chard Roasted green beans, squash & zucchini, or asparagus Garlic toast Let me know if you try this dish, what you changed, and how you liked it! There are endless substitutions and changes that make this meal so so easy to keep in the back of your mind and just use whatever you have on hand. And its so easy that even kids can help with prep (which I love to have my kiddos do).
