Which is better for you – a plant-based diet or a diet that is based on meat? If you believe many of the headlines Google has to offer, plant-based is the way to go. But the reality is that a lot of the research that has been done on this topic is biased, and at Red House Ranch, we subscribe to healthy meat-based diets. In this post, we’d like to talk about why.
Imagine if you will, a world with no meat. Imagine a world where people solely dine on fruits, vegetables, grains and processed grocery store foods. While there are vegans and vegetarians who base their diets on these types of foods, adapting this concept for everyone could have a lot of unintended consequences.
Now that we’ve talked about how all the resources we use to uncover how this clean food can benefit your body, we want to show you all the great ways to prepare it! This short list digs into some of our favorite cookbooks, giving you a plethora of trusted and tasty recipes that can actually get you excited about clean eating (we promise there is WAY more than salad and steamed veggies out there!).
Let’s face it. Both Dave and I are knowledge-driven people. We didn’t just choose one day that the grass-fed, clean eating lifestyle was trendy and decide we wanted to be on board. We read a ton of material that convinced us of the benefits of our lifestyle, and the undeniable facts continue to impact the food decisions we make.
When we chose to take our farming from hobby to business, we knew we needed the support of other small business owners to help us with the parts of the process we aren’t equipped to handle. Our goal was to partner with small, local businesses who are as committed to ethical, humane treatment of our livestock as we are.
Everyone buys food. But not everyone has fully embraced the clean-eating movement, so we’re going to cut straight to the chase. There’s a common myth that clean, locally-sourced foods are priced higher than comparable products you can find in the grocery store.
There is nothing more inviting than the smell of a roasting turkey on a cool Thanksgiving morning, and nothing tastier than the juicy, savory bird next to your favorite fixin’s. At RHR, we have a simple turkey-roasting recipe that we’re happy to share in the spirit of Thanksgiving-day planning and preparation.
At most Thanksgiving dinners, a succulent, savory turkey is the focal point of the table and will undoubtedly be a fan favorite at dinner. If you’re the one responsible to cooking this year, it might seem easy to pick up a bird from the freezer section of the grocery store while you’re buying your yams and green beans.
When it comes to meat, there is one type that, without a shadow of a doubt, is every carnivore’s favorite protein. This meat candy (otherwise known as bacon) is perfectly suited for any keto, paleo, or other LCHF diets. This delicious pork product is versatile and not just made for breakfast.
You know the foods you need to eat clean and fuel your body but finding them in your local grocery store can prove to be a challenge. Here at Red House Ranch, we have established a network of local food suppliers to help you find all the real foods you need feel good about the phrase, “you are what you eat.”
We all know that eating clean has tremendous positive effects on our well-being. From your body’s physical state, to the physiological aspects that affect its function, to mental health – putting whole, unprocessed foods into your body help fuel it to perform at its highest level.
With Thanksgiving fast approaching, we are excited to announce that turkeys are now available to pre-order on our website. Our turkeys are free range, pasture-raised and fed a non-GMO feed mix. If you follow us on social media, you might have seen some of our videos of these beautiful birds.
