It’s safe to say that things have drastically changed over the past few weeks, but one topic that has definitely risen to the top is access to food. Whether it be families with more time on their hands or searching shelves at the grocery store that have been picked over, we’ve found ourselves cooking more […]
Take a look at the labels on food packages near you or in your kitchen. What do you see? These food labels can confusing, leading to misinformation and often guilty feelings that we’re not doing the right thing for ourselves and our family. How do we filter through the marketing to understand what labels have […]
Over the past several months, many headlines have given attention to processed plant protein entering the marketplace. Let’s get one thing straight, black bean burgers have been on restaurant menus for a very long time. This isn’t something new. But this time, the latest iteration showed up with a bigger marketing budget. The Impossible Burger […]
Growing up on my family’s cattle ranch, we always had beef in the freezer. While there were other proteins – pork from the neighbors, eggs from chickens in the barn – beef protein was always our primary choice. To be honest, I am still shocked when I meet adults who admit to never having cooked […]

I had an anchor to train for […]
As a society, we have an ever-increasing desire to learn more about where our food comes from. However, seeing as fear and emotion (looking at you Food Inc.) sell much easier than truth and science, we seem to have an uphill road to climb when trying to share educational material or documentaries about food and […]
This post is sponsored by AGCO; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. As I’ve been traveling around the country much of this summer, I have encountered a slew people from many walks of life. We all come from different places and have different ways of doing things.
