Getting Started

The Meat

by

 Many people know I have many food allergies and that is why I started this blog.  I have started buying my meat and eggs at the Urban Farm in Crestview, Florida. The meat is different from what I am used to. The cows and chickens are grass feed.  I have made short ribs, beef stew and ground beef. I made the short ribs wrong. Yes, I made it wrong. They were tough. I baked them like baby back ribs. They are not baby back ribs. Shorts ribs need to be cooked in a gravy or broth. They should remind moist while cooking. The beef stew was good. I cooked it just like any other stew meat. The ground beef was cooked the same way as normal (fried in pan). The eggs have no taste difference. They do need to be washed before cracking. The chicken has very little fat.
i made this purchase because there is no soy in this meat.
Meat prices vary depending on time of year and quanity.  The price per pound was $5.50 when I purchased it. I purchased 1/4 of cow and we split it with a friend. If you pair up with a friend the cost is affordable.

My education of food really started when I was diagnosed with food allergies in 1996.  I had learned I was allergic to some fruits and vegetables. Who can be allegeric to the healthier food of the human diet? Me. I had to learn to eat other things and not get sick. That was challenging since I was still eating tomatoes which I was told I was not allergic to. We were living in Germany at this time and cooked a lot at home but the labels were written in German. After 6 years, I was still complaining to doctors about mysterious rashes and severe stomach pain. My primary doctor refered to an allergist. He tested me (2002) for 132 items. I was all allergic to about 70 of them. He then tested me based on what I eat and blood work to the most eaten. I was most allergic to carrots, tomatoes, peaches, melons, peanuts, and grapes. I was also Allegic to MANY outdoor trees, grasses and weeds. My days got better and even better but still had the occasional rash or pain. It was during this time frame I decided to learn more about food or stay sick. I learned how to make lots of things that are really easy to do at home.  Doctors gave me the title of diabetic but I am currently still trying to change that. I do plan to get off of my meds with Gods help. God chose me for for this challenge so I can help others. He also gives everyone free will. I argue with my free will daily.  I am writing this blog to help others and so you all can pray for me and my daily challenges. Pray I stay on task and keep focused on what is important in life.  My family and friends.
