Low and Slow Pot Roast

Nothing warms up a kitchen (and tummies) like a classic pot roast. Flavorful, juicy, and melt-in-your-mouth tender, this dish is like enjoying Christmas dinner all over again. For enhanced taste and nutrition, opt for pasture raised beef chuck roast.

The “chuck,” or shoulder, is ideal for slow cooking, drawing out its rich flavor and marbling in every bite. For even more delicious payoff come meal time, try browning your roast in a skillet first. This simple process perfectly sears your meat, adding a caramelized crust for unparalleled flavor.

One Pan Casserole

Quick, easy to assemble, and delicious, a weeknight casserole is a cold-weather staple. Bring the heat of Mexican cuisine with a re-imagined chicken enchilada casserole. All you need is pasture raised corn and soy free chicken, corn tortillas, cheese, and a rainbow of your favorite fresh vegetables.

Like a lasagna, just layer shredded chicken and cheese under a layer of tortillas and bake in the oven. Complete the dish with fresh avocado slices, minced onion, cilantro, and sour cream. Don’t have a baking dish? Skip a trip to the grocery store and use a cast-iron skillet!

Comforting Creamy Chicken

A family favorite, Tuscan chicken marries the sweet and savory flavor of sun-dried tomatoes with a rich, mouth-watering cream base. Whether you’re entertaining guests or trying to get your little ones to eat, corn and soy free pastured farm chicken is a sure way to add nutrition to every plate.

For tender bites, opt for pasture raised boneless skinless chicken breasts. After searing your chicken with Italian seasoning, prepare the Tuscan sauce by combining sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and onion in the same pan. Then, add a handful of spinach, followed by heavy cream and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
