3 Simple Ways to Nourish Your Family This Week

Sundays on the ranch are always a mix of catching up and preparing for the week ahead—checking on the animals, finishing up chores, and making sure our family is well-fed.

I know I’m not the only one who wants healthy, nourishing meals but doesn’t have time to spend hours in the kitchen every night. That’s why I rely on simple, practical habits that make feeding my family easier, healthier, and stress-free.

So today, I’m sharing 3 simple ways to nourish your family this week, plus a few of my favorite farm-to-table finds!


🌿 3 Ways to Flourish This Week

🥩 Make Mealtime Easier with a Slow Cooker Roast
One of the easiest ways to get tender, flavorful meat with minimal effort is to use a slow cooker. I love tossing a pasture-raised chuck roast into my crockpot with some salt, garlic, and broth before church—by the time we get home, dinner is ready!

A good slow cooker takes the guesswork out of cooking and helps lock in the deep, rich flavors of ranch-raised meats. If you don’t have one yet, this is my favorite slow cooker!

🌱 Choose One Meal This Week with Only Farm-Fresh Ingredients
Ever notice how you feel better and more energized when you eat real, unprocessed food? That’s because our bodies thrive on nutrient-dense, natural ingredients.

This week, I challenge you to make one meal using only farm-fresh meats, seasonal produce, and simple seasonings. No additives, no ultra-processed shortcuts—just real food the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

Need ideas? Try this:
Pan-seared pasture-raised pork chops with roasted sweet potatoes and sautéed greens.
✅ Flourish & Roam beef burgers with a fresh garden salad and homemade dressing.
Bone broth soup loaded with fresh vegetables and pasture-raised chicken.

🍳 Add More Protein to Your Breakfast
If you’re skipping breakfast or relying on quick carbs (like toast, bagels, or cereal), you might find yourself feeling sluggish mid-morning. Protein is the key to keeping your energy steady and your metabolism strong!

Try starting your day with:
🥚 Scrambled farm-fresh eggs with pasture-raised sausage.
🥓 A hearty breakfast hash with ground beef and roasted veggies.
🍲 A warm mug of bone broth for gut-healing benefits.

I’ve noticed a huge difference in my energy levels since prioritizing protein in the mornings—it keeps me going through early ranch chores and busy days!


❤️ 2 Things I’m Loving This Week

🍲 My Go-To Slow Cooker
This slow cooker has been a game-changer in my kitchen. It makes meal prep effortless, and I love knowing that dinner is ready without standing over the stove. Perfect for busy families who still want home-cooked meals!

If I had to pick one staple every freezer needs, it would be high-quality ground beef. It’s versatile, packed with protein, and works for so many meals—from tacos to meatballs to hearty soups. If you need to restock, check out our latest pasture-raised ground beef here!


🔥 1 Tip to Help You Thrive

🥩 The Secret to Juicy, Flavorful Meat: Let It Rest!

One of the biggest mistakes I see people make? Cutting into meat too soon after cooking.

When you cook a steak, roast, or even chicken breast, the juices inside are moving toward the surface. If you cut into it right away, all that moisture escapes—and you’re left with dry meat.

The fix? Let your meat rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This gives the juices time to redistribute, keeping every bite tender, juicy, and full of flavor.

Try it next time you cook a steak—you’ll taste the difference!


Final Thoughts: Let’s Make Healthy Eating Simple

Eating nutrient-dense, ranch-raised meats and wholesome meals doesn’t have to be complicated. By making small shifts—like using a slow cooker, choosing farm-fresh ingredients, and prioritizing protein—you can fuel your family well without stress.
