Ranch Raised

We may not get to go out on the town and do fancy things for holidays, especially when they fall right during calving season, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t have a little fun here on the ranch! I am sure today will be record consumption day for cornbeef and cabbage, but I have another festive and fizzy recipe to share to chase down that favorite Irish meal!

I could go on and on about the gory aftermath of the Bomb Cyclone and the destruction, death, and weakness that it left. I can paint pictures with my words but unless you have lived it, you can only know what was felt.

As we walk this life in agriculture, the story holds true, “no 2 years are ever the same.” Right now, most of the western USA is gripped in a drought, but 3 years ago, on this very week, much of the Midwest was drowning, literally.

Where are my pasta, bagel, and bread lovers? Listen up because today is all about the goddess of grain world, wheat!

If you enjoy brisk evenings under the stars with your spouse, questioning every decision you have ever made in your life, while pushing your physical being past the point of exhaustion and dragging your kids through this experience with you, then I highly recommend calving heifers and kidding goats at the same time.

It is shredded beef meal idea day here on Ranch Raised! As I said yesterday, I consider shredded roast beef a blank canvas and I am the Picasso.

There are so many different types of home cooks. I have always aspired to be one of those batch, freezer meal making mommas that makes a months’ worth of meals on a Sunday afternoon. But the truth is, I am so far from it.

You don’t need me to tell you that there is a lot going on in the world. And to be completely honest I probably don’t know the half of it. We do not have cable TV.

It is finally here and I am so excited that you are here to celebrate with me! Today is a day that I could have not seen coming when I started this project. I had no stars in my eyes. I had no big picture goals. But here we are, our 100th episode of Ranch Raised!
