I will be doing a YouTube Livestream tonight on my channel with Kerry Mann, one of the creators of the Healing Humanity documentary. He has interviewed hundreds of Carnivores, I will be picking his brain on what he thinks the common factors are that helps them all be successful. We will also be taking questions from the chat. It will be a great stream to join if you are needing some motivation going into this tempting weekend. Hope you can make it!!
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?
Starting the 9th I am covering for the cook at school while she has her hip replaced. Given it will be 6 full weeks I am worried I won't keep up with my daily habits. So I created a little check list. Now don't judge life gets busy esp around the holidays and I hope this helps. I also created a 2 week rotating menu and a premade decision on my meals and times. All my meals during the week are grab and go type (burger patties, bacon, hard boiled eggs, omlets, ect..
With this Healing Humanity documentary and all the talk around it, seeing myself on the screen again, and the positive feedback, it's been really surreal. Sometimes we lose sight of the impact our stories can have. It made me reflect on what I went through. No hope to I can beat this. I hope people hear or watch and it motivates them to change. Everyone here has a story, and will have an ultimate success story that can hopefully inspire someone in your lives. It spreads exponentially.
Have you watched the documentary yet? Has your story impacted someone close to you?
