Dear John,
Spring is in the air and we are looking
forward to warm weather, green pastures and
grilling. We suggest kicking off the 2008
grilling season with the new
fresh
chilled beef
available from US Wellness Meats. For those
in colder locales, we think you
will enjoy the Jamaican style Jerk-Seasoned
Leg
of Goat Steak oven recipe
featured this week.
Fresh
chilled beef orders are due Thursday,
April 3 at noon CST and will ship Wednesday,
April 9.
Selections include a gourmet
steak package, burger
bundle, roast
and burger bundle, steak
and burger bundle, and striploin.
Special orders, which are considered on a
case-by-case basis,
can amend this inventory.
This week the United States Department of
Agriculture released a list of school
districts affected by the recent
Hallmark/Westland beef recall. The list,
which was made public on Thursday, March 27,
includes 226 pages of school districts and
school lunch providers. Although USDA
officials say there is unlikely to be a
health risk associated with the recalled
beef, the news has left many parents
wondering what steps to take to help ensure
healthful meals for their children. Several
resources exist, including Better
School Food and The
Edible Schoolyard. In addition, US
Wellness Meats offers discounted wholesale
pricing to school districts looking for a
tasty, wholesome supply of ground beef.
Contact our staff at (877) 383-0051 or
eathealthy@grasslandbeef.com for more
information.
In closing, we urge parents to challenge
their local school boards to make smarter
food buying choices which will ultimately
raise meal tickets. However, the savings in
health care and behavior issues will more than
offset the added cost in our opinion. There
is no excuse to be using
school cafeterias as the lowest cost consumer
of USDA surplus dairy and meat products.
Warmest regards,
John, Lee Ann, Megan, Lacey and McKenzie on
behalf
of the
farm families of U.S. Wellness Meats

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dear Dr. Serrano,
I have a 22 year old autistic daughter who is
also borderline diabetic. Over the last 3
yeas we have switched to 100%
grass-fed
beef, quit buying processed foods, and
use as many organic fruits and vegetables as
we can. She does get Breyers All Natural
Vanilla Ice Cream as a treat. She is on no
medication and is stable.
In your opinion,
what is worse for diabetics- sugar or grains?
I know exercise would be great for her but
we can't get her to walk enough to lose the
20 pounds she needs to lose.
Thanks,
J.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dear J.,
First, let me congratulate you in your
excellent job with your daughter. It is a
huge commitment but well worth it. I believe
life is a balance, and having an occasional
treat is not bad at all. As a matter of fact,
when I create diets, I include "cheating"
hours or days for patients after they have
followed the diet for at least fourteen days.
Now for the second part of your question,
what is better - getting hit by a car or a
truck? Neither - both hurt - but of course
one of them will hit you harder. I would stay
away from both, but have my "cheat" time with
my daughter once per week.
Take care,
Dr.
Serrano

FEATURED RECIPE |
|
Spice up your Spring with Jerk-Seasoned
Leg of Goat Steaks
Jerk-Seasoned Leg
of Goat Steak is perfect for a large
spring dinner. Jerk, which is a Jamaican
style of cooking, is traditionally used with
goat or pork. This recipe calls for using the
oven, but could easily be adapted to a grill.
Recipe: Jerk-Seasoned Leg
of Goat Steaks
INGREDIENTS
3
lbs. of leg of goat bone-in steaks,
trimmed of fat and
membranes ( 4 steaks suggested)
1 small yellow onion, roughly chopped
1/2 cup chopped green onions
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 to 3 Scotch bonnet peppers, seeded, stemmed
and roughly chopped
(substitute habanero if you cannot find
Scotch bonnet peppers)
2 tbsp. chopped fresh ginger
2 tbsp. dark brown sugar
4 tsp. ground allspice
2 tsp. fresh oregano leaves
1 tbsp. sea salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper
3/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp. dark rum
2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
PREPARATION
Place the leg of goat steaks in a large,
re-sealable
plastic bag.
In a blender or food processor, combine all
the remaining ingredients and process until a
smooth paste forms. Pour into the bag with
the goat steaks, rubbing to coat evenly. Seal and
refrigerate at least 6 hours, or overnight.
Remove the leg of goat from the bag and place
in a roasting pan; bring to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Roast
until medium-rare, and an instant-read
thermometer registers 145 to 150 degrees F.,
turning once.
Recipe will work perfectly for whole
leg of goat.
Very limited inventory of whole leg of goat!
