Friends and Farms must have been spying on me. They knew I liked carrots and gave me more of them in these week’s Protein and Dairy bag. Why are there carrots in a protein bag? Because we don’t do milk, and I substituted produce.
For us, this $43 a week food source provides us with almost all the meat, fish, and eggs that we use in our cooking. They have expanded this option, giving us 5-6 pounds of premium fish and meat every week.
I like having local sources. Not getting irradiated or artificially colored beef.
It’s a good deal for the money. Today we got a T-bone steak.
Country spare ribs.
Split chicken breasts.
Bacon.
Eggs.
If you are “less meatarians” like we are, you can feed two people with this option. Easily. I try to make meat be a small portion of the plate.
We do so many things differently these days. We make egg salads, chicken salads, process the bacon to be used on multiple meals.
Consider what we do. Protein, one quarter of the plate. Carb, one quarter. Vegetables, half the plate.
And look into Friends and Farms, if you live around here. They are flexible with lots of options to choose.
