Knife-+-Cutting-Board.jpg


It dawned on us as we traveled recently, staying at some AirBnB's and bringing our own meats to cook in other kitchens—that most kitchens don't have a sharp knife!!  It got us thinking about how many kitchens are missing a durable, sharp knife.  Perhaps you haven't found or purchased a knife that you absolutely love yet either?

So we want to share our favorite in hopes that your kitchen cooking and grilling experience can be enjoyable and not a chore that is frustrating.

Allow me to personally introduce our absolute FAVORITE kitchen (Victorinox) knife, which has a high-quality stainless steel 5" blade ensuring long-lasting durability of use, and a Fibrox handle that is comfortable with a non-slip grip.

We use this type of knife for processing our poultry (processed on our farm) as well as in our personal kitchen. We absolutely love the durability and strength of this knife and the ease of sharpening. It stays sharp for ages, but whenever you have to sharpen, it's a 2-second process. Add on a knife-sharpener here (this is the one we use as well).

We have experienced the frustration and the inefficiency of dull knives. With a sharp, sturdy knife, it makes all tasks before and after cooking your meat efficient and easy!  Do yourself a favor and grab our favorite knife + bonus cutting board and enjoy!!!

The bonus cutting board is the one that we use every summer for processing poultry.  It's 18" x 12" x 1/2", sturdy, durable, and food-safe for cooked or raw meats. We love it!

Family Friendly Weeknight Bolognese

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).
