How to Elevate Comfort Food with Real Ingredients



Driving through the fast food line is tempting, but what if you could create delicious and nutritious bites with just a few high-quality ingredients? This is where pasture-raised meats come in. These protein options raise the wholesome standard, offering better-for-you nutrients and vitamins because enjoying your favorite foods doesn’t mean sacrificing quality. Here are two ways to elevate your favorite comfort dishes so indulgence becomes truly nourishing.

Nutrient-Dense Nachos

Raise your spatula if you think traditional nachos are just a bag of chips and a suspiciously neon yellow cheese sauce. No judgment here. But swapping in wholesome ingredients like tortilla chips cooked in beef tallow (not industrialized seed oils), 100% grass fed and finished beef, and farm-sourced seasonal produce can turn this nutrient-bare appetizer into a bursting-with-flavor and good-for-you meal.

Cooking Tips:

● Wondering which steak to choose? Pastured beef ribeye offers juicy, tender bites. Find grass fed steaks online or at a regenerative farm near you.
● After searing your steak in a cast-iron skillet with beef tallow, let it rest for the same amount of time you cooked it, then slice against the grain.

Corn Free Chicken Wings

Do you have a big game coming up, or are you just craving a finger-licking good dish? Chicken wings are always a winner, winner, chicken dinner. Amp up every bite of your favorite poultry appetizer (or main dish) with nutrient rich chicken free of corn and soy. Choosing corn and soy free chicken over store-bought means these birds were raised exactly how chickens are meant to be: outdoors with plenty of room to forage and the freedom to scratch for species-appropriate food.

Cooking Tips:
 

● Not a fan of frying? Try baking wings in an oven or air fryer for crispy, perfectly golden skin without the mess. If you have a convection oven or microwave, use this feature for even better baking on your wings.
● For extra crispy skin, pat your wings with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture before adding your seasoning. Once out of the oven, dip in your favorite sauce or dry rub, and finish cooking to your liking.
