Happy Saturday!! Thanks to everyone that popped on the Healing Humanity Livestream or supported the release of their movie last night. That extra footage will be public on my channel today, Chris's story especially is so powerful. If you have someone with Type 2 diabetes in your life who maybe wouldn't watch a whole movie, maybe they would watch that short video and be inspired.
We are up at the cabin this weekend, enjoying the beautiful weather and going on lots of walks. We went to visit Chris's 90 year old Aunt yesterday. What are you doing this weekend?
I don't typically love cooking with cast iron, despite the excellent results they can bring. It's messy and smells up the house. Add to that, the one we have is super old and not very good. We were recently gifted a really good one from Lancaster Cast Iron so today I decided to give it a try. We have a side burner on our Weber so I could do it outside. I sous vide a steak, then seared it in tallow on the new pan. Man it was incredible. What a difference it made from our old one. Super easy clean up too. Below is the pan, of course I forgot to take a picture of the steak haha.
Do you love using cast iron? What are some favorites you make in them?
Yesterday we surprised the kids and brought home a puppy!! They have been begging for one for years and we felt like the time was right to bring one home.
Meet Angus 🐕 He's a Golden Retriever/King Charles Cavalier Spaniel mix. He's 11 weeks old and currently weighs about 8 pounds, he should be around 35 pounds fully grown. I know it will be an adjustment for a while as he gets potty trained etc but we are so excited. 😂 Wish us luck! 🤪
Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.
What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?
What a great 24hrs. Our oldest had the opportunity to run at the Ohio JrHigh cross country meet in Columbus today. It was not his best race as he is coming down with a chest cold and couldn't breath but he still finished top50....a whole minute slower then his personal best. We had a great time bonding and simply just having fun. I am happy to be home eating a mix of everything that's in the fridge. I managed to stay on course. Funny part was my my son and I both ordered ribeyes at dinner and his was bigger and cooked better then mine. That wasn't fair!
OH MY GOSH I want to watch this over and over! I smiled, I cried, and I had to pause and sob for awhile 😭 if you have seen it you know when that happened!! Share, share, share I am going to send clips to my close family to try to get through to them how could you not try it after this movie!!! https://www.instagram.com/p/De4oOgzCK7_/?cplk=MWNwdXQzZG1ldG1vZg==
