WHAT’S COOKING? Fried Rice Chicken and Rice Soup Rigatoni with meat sauce and ricotta cheese Huge Kudos to Dan from California for making the most delicious and special lasagna I‘ve ever eaten….I’ll always remember that flavor. Food Industry and Harvest News: Candy Maker to Invest $237 Million To Build Uah Plant To Make Granola Bars “This investment marks a significant milestone in the acceleration of our brand’s growth potential as consumer and retailer demand increase,” Steve Gardiner, CEO of Nature’s Bakery, said in a statement. “This facility joins our existing bakeries to reflect our commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability.” The new plant is 339,000 square feet and in Salt Lake City, they can make almost a billion boxes of fruit bars and granola in this one plant. TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC: Steak fried rice is so delicious and filled with protein and other healthy ingredients, particularly animal fats in the form of eggs and beef tallow. I like to use tougher (cheaper) cuts of beef that I obtain from small grass-fed operations rather than the factory farm stuff, yuk! Fried rice, is a pretty simple dish and it can be made with just about any protein, or none at all. I start with aromatics in the form of shallots, garlic, chili peppers, ginger, and green onion, then add vegetables like peas, carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, broccoli, greens, brussels sprouts, squash, and also some basic sauces; soy sauce and oyster sauce. I love adding local eggs usually 3 but as many as 5 eggs per recipe to add in protein and substance. I DO NOT load it up with rice, I’d say f I weighed the ingredients, cooked, day-old rice would be 40% of the total weight. I’m not looking for a carbohydrate bomb, just adding some bulk and texture. It’s the principles of Food Storage Feast at work, using cheap ingredients mixed with pantry items, local veg, and local protein to make an inexpensive but flavorful dish. I usually cook rice the day before or the morning of, then place it on a sheet tray uncovered and place it outside in winter, or in the fridge. This helps the rice to dry out slightly which helps it get all “sizzled up” when cooking. Now that rice is accounted for let’s move on to prep the aromatics first, then the vegetables, and then the protein. I keep them all separated. If using red meat be sure to find the grain of the meat, cut long strips with the grain, then tiny pieces against the grain. The next step is to marinate the protein for about 1 hour in soy and oyster sauce, I’d say 3 tbs soy, 2 tbs oyster sauce, and mix well. I start by heating my wok to a medium-high, then I wok-fry the protein in beef tallow or duck fat until it’s starting to color and is cooked through, then add the aromatics and fry another 2 minutes tossing often. Remove and set aside. Add more fat, then the vegetables, and cook stirring often until they soften slightly, not looking for mush here people. Set aside, and back to the wok we go, add more fat and the rice, toss then let it start to crisp up before tossing again. One rice has some color and has been tossed around a bit I make a small well in the bottom, add a pat of butter or two then crack the eggs in, and let them cook for about 2 minutes before mixing it all up to distribute the eggs. Then add the meat and veg and a little more soy and oyster sauce plus a butt load of white pepper and toss well, taste it, if it needs salt add some or more soy. I like to serve with with my fermented pepper mayo, you can use Siracha, or Gochujang plus your favorite mayo ( make your own!!!!) to make this sauce. Drizzle it around the fried rice and dig in!

WHAT’S COOKING? Chili w beans White bean soup with parmesan broth Spaghetti bolognese Pot roast and pot roast soup Chik Fil A on Sunday-see photos FOOD INDUSTRY AND HARVEST NEWS: French Fry Demand is way off-Declining restaurant traffic created a potato surplus for one of the world’s largest producers of french fries. Boise, Idaho-based Lamb Weston Holdings purchased more potatoes than needed based on overly aggressive sales forecasts, President and CEO Tom Werner said on a second-quarter earnings call Jan. 4. The processor reported a $71 million charge to write off the excess supply. Demand for french fries has sputtered as consumers dine out less due to rapid inflation. North American sales volumes declined 4% in the quarter, though profits increased in part due to higher French fry prices. Arizona Joins Florida and Texas in Bid To Ban Lab-Grown Meat From Labeling Itself-Meat The bill seeks to prohibit the labeling of any products as “meat” that are not derived from livestock or poultry and instead were produced in a laboratory from cultured animal cells. This marks the latest pushback from lawmakers against the budding industry, as the traditional meat sector and some consumers raise concerns over its safety. TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC: Parmesan broth is a rather unique ingredient, have you ever made it or known anyone else who made it? Yes, exactly, it’s not that common. However, if you hate wasting food and want to make a unique flavoring agent for soups sauces etc, parmesan broth is your new friend.

Its umami-rich flavor profile complements risottos, soups, and braised dishes, infusing them with a subtle nuttiness and a satisfying savoriness. The golden hue and velvety texture of Parmesan broth make it a delightful base for pasta sauces and grain-based dishes. Whether used as a foundational component or as a finishing touch, Parmesan broth is a simple yet indulgent way to enhance the depth of flavors in your culinary creations. I have used it to make a simple white bean soup, minestrone soup, and butternut squash risotto, and even added it to some chili….crazy I know!

This fraud is rampant and it’s hard to find authentic olive oil at stores. Domestic olive oil may be a better option but this requires research and cost. I recently watched this YouTube video and it is rather alarming. Join the olive oil club to get authentic oil. (Harvest Eating has no affiliation whatsoever) Check out this video TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC: Increasing Protein To Energy Ration To Build Muscle And Lose Weight The Protein to Energy (PE) diet, popularized by Ted Naiman, emphasizes the pivotal role of protein in the diet for optimizing body composition and overall health. This approach prioritizes consuming adequate protein to support muscle growth and repair, while minimizing excessive carbohydrate and fat intake. Naiman advocates for a focus on nutrient-dense, whole foods, and emphasizes the satiating effect of protein, which can aid in controlling appetite and promoting fat loss. By balancing protein intake with energy needs, adherents of the PE diet aim to achieve and maintain a lean, strong, and energetic body. Naiman's approach offers a simple yet effective framework for those looking to improve their dietary habits and achieve sustainable wellness. Download the EBOOK For $20 From Dr Naiman: (I AM NOT and affiliate) https://thepediet.gumroad.com/l/thepediet Protein Rich Foods When it comes to seeking inexpensive animal-based protein sources, there's a wide array of options that offer both affordability and nutritional value. Eggs stand out as a versatile and budget-friendly choice, providing an excellent source of high-quality protein. Canned tuna and sardines and salmon are also economical alternatives that are packed with protein and healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, buying whole chickens and using various cooking methods to utilize every part is a cost-effective way to access lean protein. Embracing these inexpensive animal-based protein sources not only supports a balanced diet but also demonstrates practical and frugal meal planning. Chicken breasts and thighs are also excellent protein sources.

TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC: Reverse sear, what is it, why bother? Reverse sear is a cooking technique that has gained popularity among home cooks and professional chefs alike. Unlike the traditional searing method, where the meat is seared first and then finished in the oven, the reverse sear takes a different approach. It involves slow cooking the meat at a low temperature in the oven until it reaches the desired internal temperature, and then searing it on high heat to create a beautifully caramelized crust. This method allows for even cooking throughout the meat, resulting in a perfectly cooked and tender texture. Moreover, reverse searing also provides more control over the doneness of the meat, making it an ideal technique for thicker cuts such as steaks and roasts. The reverse sear technique has revolutionized the way we cook meat, delivering consistent results and ensuring a memorable dining experience for all. I plan on using this method to cook our Christmas dinner, a reverse-seared tri-tip roast with whipped tallow and chive potatoes, peas, and Bordelaise sauce. Dessert will be Burnt Basque Cheesecake.

Fed officials know that and it is certainly one of the reasons they don’t want to raise rates any higher and hope to bring them down as soon as possible. Over a decade of easy money policies incentivized borrowing to “stimulate” the economy. As a result, governments, individuals, and corporations all borrowed to the hilt. That was all well and good when interest rates were hovering around zero, but when central banks had to hike rates to battle the inevitable price inflation, it pulled the rug out from under the borrow-and-spend economy. Governments around the world are feeling the squeeze as they try to deal with trillions in debt in a rising interest rate environment.

Buckwheast Stroganoff Salad Olivier Pelmeni Soup x 2 FOOD INDUSTRY AND HARVEST NEWS: Impossible Foods To Launch a plant-based hotdog and will give them away in Manhattan soon. Find them here on Instagram The giveaway marks the first taste of Impossible’s newest product, which promises a fresh but familiar take on the classic American hot dog and is set to launch in restaurants and grocery stores next year. The juicy, savory links offer a similar cooking and sensory experience to traditional animal beef hot dogs but are made with high-quality ingredients derived from plants. Impossible Hot Dogs outperform the animal on several key nutritional metrics: they contain 50% less total and saturated fat than a leading brand of animal beef hot dog served in restaurants, in addition to featuring a whopping 12 grams protein (versus 6 grams) and 0 milligrams cholesterol.2 Unlike most animal-based hot dogs, the franks also contain no added or synthetic nitrates or nitrites, instead using only those naturally occurring in cultured celery powder. TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC: Spanish Basque cheesecake is a heavenly creation that exemplifies the virtues of simplicity and indulgence. With its burnished, caramelized top and velvety, custard-like center, this cheesecake is a testament to the power of minimalism. Unlike its American counterpart, Basque cheesecake requires no crust, allowing the luscious texture and rich flavors to take center stage. Made with just a handful of ingredients - cream cheese, sugar, eggs, cream, and a touch of vanilla - this cheesecake is uncomplicated yet incredibly decadent. Its subtle sweetness and slightly tangy flavor make it an irresistible treat for any dessert lover, while its rustic appearance and imperfect surface add a charming appeal. The virtues of Spanish Basque cheesecake lie in its ability to truly showcase the purity of its ingredients, providing an indulgent experience that is both comforting and elegant. I love this dessert suffice to say, this cheesecake is the bomb! I’d say it’s much less fussy and a bit easier to make as it has no crust, and does not employ the bain marie. HOMESTEAD TSUNAMI: Crop Trials In Europe Spotlight Intercropping to prove this viable strategy for soil health and reduction in inputs. Luguminose is testing fields right now in several countries and so far, results are quite impressive. INTERCROPPING: AN ANCIENT AGRICULTURAL TECHNIQUE Intercropping is an ancient agricultural technique where two or more plant species are grown simultaneously in the same field. This method of farming can increase crop yields by up to 20% and improve soil health. The latter can reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers by up to 50%. Intercropping can also increase biodiversity, which increases the resilience of agricultural systems to climate change. Overall, intercropping provides a sustainable and efficient way to produce food, as it increases the productivity of land while reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. Gabe Brown of Browns Ranch in Bismark ND has been doing this for years, however his cover crops and intercropping can be more diverse. He will seed a mix of clover with a cash crop of corn, the clover feeds nitrogen to the corn and also covers the soil to protect soil from the sun which prevents evaporation plus the additional roots on the soil stable and can prevent wind erosion, he can harvest the cash crop, then graze cows in the clover and corn resides, further feeding animals and the soil, a win-win for certain.

American Grass Fed Beef Undercut By Foreign Competition Due To Obama COOL Law. The Grass-fed beef scam. Share of this market was 60% for US Cattle Farmers now 15% due to this law and cheap competition. Read-SCAM Bubba Foods, a Jacksonville, Florida-based company whose products are sold by major retailers like Walmart, Kroger, and Wegman’s, puts its American-made claims front and center. The label on the company’s grass-fed ground beef displays a prominent “Product of USA” banner, complete with an American flag—and, if that wasn’t enough, the proud phrase “Born & Raised in the USA.” But paperwork filed with USDA, obtained by the American Grassfed Association and shared with me, suggests the product may not be American at all—at least, not in the conventional sense most shoppers would understand. From The Federal Register "We are proposing to amend the regulations governing the importation of certain animals, meat, and other animal products by allowing, under certain conditions, the importation of fresh (chilled or frozen) beef from Paraguay. Based on the evidence from a risk analysis, we have determined that fresh beef can safely be imported from Paraguay, provided certain conditions are met..." From White Oak Pastures: Today, thanks to the fact that there is no mandatory "Country of Origin" labeling law, consumers are consuming beef raised and slaughtered in these foreign countries under the guise that it's a product of the USA.

The first step is to make the broth, usually, a ramen broth has pork bones, but this one was made using beef bones I bought at a local farm. I used a variety of marrow bones and tossed them into a deep pot, with 4-5 garlic cloves smashed, a piece of ginger, a few stalks of celery, and half an onion, then covered it with about a gallon of cold water, and brought to a simmer, skimmed off the foam, then let it cook way for 4-5 hours. In the meantime, I sauteed green onion and garlic in beef tallow for a few minutes, then added a pound of grass-fed and finished ground beef and cooked that 10 minutes. Later I strained the broth into the aromatics/beef mixture followed by a package of lo mein-style wheat noodles. I cooked the noodles until they were al dente which took 4-5 minutes. It was served in a bowl with plenty of broth, topped with green onion and cilantro. Was a wonderful meal that we all enjoyed, and relatively easy to make and inexpensive. HOMESTEAD TSUNAMI: Worm farming, also known as vermicomposting, offers a myriad of benefits when it comes to producing high-quality castings and worm tea. Firstly, worm castings, the nutrient-rich waste produced by worms, are a phenomenal natural fertilizer. They are packed with beneficial microorganisms, enzymes, and nutrients that enhance soil structure, increase water-holding capacity, and improve overall soil health. The castings provide essential nutrients to plants, promoting robust growth and enhancing crop yields. On the other hand, worm tea, which is obtained by steeping worm castings in water, serves as a potent liquid fertilizer. When applied to plants, worm tea permeates the soil, infusing it with vital nutrients and boosting plant vigor. Furthermore, both worm castings and worm tea act as natural pest repellents, discouraging harmful insects, diseases, and harmful bacteria from invading plants. In essence, worm farming not only allows for sustainable waste management but also provides an organic and effective means of optimizing soil fertility and plant health. I certainly plan to employ worms to help my gardens, trees, and bushes grow fast and productive. ECONOMIC NEWS: Gold hits an all-time high, over $,130 per ounce.

We expect all of our suppliers to always uphold our high standards of animal welfare and quality,” Holm said. “We are conducting a full investigation and are committed to moving quickly to take the appropriate actions.“ PETA included a lengthy list of observations released through video and photographs at the farm in Wills Point, Texas, about an hour east of Dallas. It alleged blind and sickly calves, bedding that had nails that injured and crippled the animals, a cow floating in feces, and grounds littered with rotting corpses. TODAY’S MAIN TOPIC: Buffet-style service was a hit, and all guests really seemed to enjoy the meal last Thursday. The sides were amazing, my stuffing was a big hit, even with my wife who thinks stuffing is stupid. I had roasted potatoes instead of mashed but I say mashed is better! The gravy was spot on, super tasty with a wonderful “sagey” aftertaste and perfect consistency. One stand out was my stewed apples, which tasted wonderful but you cannot use two different varieties because they cook so differently that you will have some firm and some mush all at the same time. Spanish Basque Brunt Cheesecake was to die for. Stabilized whipped cream had great texture. The part that needed improvement was my timing, the turkey finished quicker than expected and was not as hot as we wanted it to be. Overall, a successful meal and an enjoyable meal for certain. HOMESTEAD TSUNAMI: Free fertility from leaves- instead of throwing them away or burning them just use the mower to mulch them and place them into garden beds, around trees, and use them as a carbon source in compost. ECONOMIC NEWS: Oil prices have eased somewhat as we head into winter which is a welcomed change for certain. We paid $3.52 cents yesterday but our prices are usually much higher than other states. Save money on fuel by using grocery points and also using this website which shows the best prices. PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION: Relyte Electrolytes from Redmond Real Mango and Mixed Berry flavors CLOSING THOUGHTS: To improve your cooking skills it’s a good practice to evaluate what you cook and how it turned out then make any adjustments or celebrate your amazing food!
