Tis the season for warm comfort foods. Or so I think. Usually, I am focused on soups and stews and fresh bread, but I’ve been failing to reach my daily protein goals, so I figured I'd go with something a little meatier.  I’ve decided to make meatloaf as I enjoy it greatly. However, I have had both beef and pork meatloaves and cannot quite decide which kind I like better. The obvious conclusion is that I have to combine them and see how it goes. So I paid a visit to our shop (I don’t work on site if you’re confused), and got myself a pound of hot Italian sausage and a pound of ground beef.

With the holidays quickly approaching, I suspect many of us are thinking about what dishes we might want to serve. Tradition lends itself to turkey and prime rib, but I’ve been thinking about beef tenderloin. It is one of the most delectable cuts, especially if cooked properly.

Lately I have been faced with the quandry of moving a high volume of beef bones. I have been pondering this question for several weeks. I’ve done some research and asked around, but I still haven’t actaully sold any. I decided to look into different uses for bones. My first idea (and I maintain my best one) was soup stock. Bones are an incredibly good source of calcium, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus. The marrow contained within the bones includes iron, collagen, selenium, vitamins A and K, zinc, and manganese. I could go on. My point is that bones are good for us and it seems like a shame to be wasting them.   With...
