Regenerative agriculture has been gaining attention in recent years as a solution to the many challenges we face regarding food production. But often times, these trending phrases or labels can be thrown around and misrepresented or misunderstood. I wanted to take this opportunity to explain exactly what we're doing on our farm to regenerate (or improve) our soil. 

If cooking your brisket intimidates you or you're just looking for a new way to cook this cut, give my easy, simple ingredient and very delicious recipe a try! 

This is a great recipe if you're looking for a meal idea to cook for a crowd.

When we celebrated Westin's (our oldest sons) birthday I had to prepare a meal for our large, extended family. Wes requested our favorite sloppy joes... here's how I make them:

I'm sure this cut isn't an unfamiliar one or one you have trouble cooking, but sometimes it's fun to try new recipes. I'll use this post to add links to my family's favorite ground beef recipes!

Easy "set it and forget it" dinners are a game changer for busy days and roasts make you feel like a super human for accomplishing all your tasks during the day AND having a hot, delicious meal prepared come supper time.

It's been so cold here lately (-12 last week) and the boys have been wanting hot chocolate to warm up. You might not believe the ingredients, but trust me on this one and give it a try! 

Using Reil Ranch soup and oxtail bones we can make a homemade bone broth that's nutrient-dense, rich in flavor and packed with important minerals.

I thought you might be curious what our cows eat in the winter since it's no secret our pastures are covered in snow this time of year. I'm sharing how our cattle can be truly 100% grass fed and grass finished, from start to finish, even though we have snow covered pastures this time of year. 

There's no arguing that tenderloin steaks are definitely the smallest cut, but what they lack in size they make up in every other area. They are melt in your mouth delicious, so tender and never disappoint.

I'll be honest, I am not the griller in the household so I prefer to cook my steaks on the stove and this method never lets me down.

Here's how we make Instant Pot Bone Broth! It's a great option when you don't have 24-48 hours to make broth in the crock pot! (If don't have an instant pot or have a little more time on your hands.. check out my crock pot recipe here.)

If you're looking for an easy homemade bone broth recipe, this is it! Bone broth is something we almost always have on hand. I use it in a wide variety of recipes, we sip it when we're sick or trying to avoid getting sick AND we even add it to unexpected treats like popsicles and smoothies! Give it a try and enjoy!
