About a month ago I had one of those ugggh moments. A good friend of mine had excitedly shared a new idea for on-the-go protein bars -- something low in sugar, high in protein, and satisfyingly kid-friendly. Yet, I snubbed her idea, passing it off as having too much sugar. The next week, when she visited again to pick up her milk share at our home, she brought me a sample of her newly concocted protein bar. Boy, was it good! So, I ate my humble pie, asked for forgiveness, and requested to borrow her idea and share this wonderful creation with you all.

I'm here to tell you that it’s more than possible -- and easier than you might think.

Sausage... A gourmet delicacy, yet it is the essence of nose-to-tail farm frugality. Nothing goes to waste when all the scraps and small pieces of meat are used to make sausage. Salting, smoking, fermenting, and drying are all ways to preserve meat for longer without refrigeration. Sausage made at home from the best local, pastured meats, mixed with tons of wholesome flavor, avoids all the chemicals found in processed meats.
