Dear John,
The farm families and staff of U.S. Wellness
Meats wish you a safe and wonderful Memorial
Day weekend.
We believe Memorial Day
weekend
is not only a great time to grill grass-fed
beef, but also a sacred time to remember the
brave men and women who died while serving
our country to create and protect our
freedom from
the epoch struggles of the Revolutionary War
(1775 - 1783) to the current engagements in
Iraq and Afghanistan and the litany of blood
shed for all those wars in between waged in
the name of
freedom.
This link
lists
all of the engagements the U.S.
Military has tackled since the Revolutionary
War. The length of the list is humbling and
will make each of us appreciate the many
blessings we take for granted each and every
day.
While you're on the web, you can also learn
more about the U.S. Wellness Meats story by
watching our new video on YouTube.
U.S. Wellness Meats founding member John Wood,
his son,
John, and father, Clark, are proud to share
the story of raising cattle on grass - the
way they were intended to be raised - as part
of their overall goal to improve nutrition,
rural communities and the environment.
Due to timing of the Memorial Holiday, U.S.
Wellness will lose its fresh
beef cutting slot on May 26;
consequently, orders in the system will be
back ordered to June 4 shipping. We
apologize for the out of sync timing this
week. Consequently, cut off for June 4
shipping will be noon Thursday, May 29. Join
the enthusiastic fresh
beef customer base.
Warmest regards,
John, Lee Ann, Megan, Lacey and McKenzie on
behalf
of the
farm families of U.S. Wellness Meats

EMAIL QUESTIONS TO: eathealthy@grasslandbeef.com
Dr. Serrano,
For the past 6 months whenever I eat breads,
pastas, etc. my fingers get very sore and as
soon as I stop eating them the soreness goes
away - I have experimented with this several
times and the outcome is always the same. I
definitely do well on a high protein diet,
however, my last blood work showed that within
a year, my cholesterol went from 160 to 195
and trig. from
43 to 76.
However, my main concern is my
bun/creatinine level (BUN) is 30 - normal being
11-22. Is this from eating too much protein?
Do you have any idea why the carbohydrates
cause my fingers to hurt and what do you
recommend for the bun/creatinine and
cholesterol? - MMB
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dear MMB,
I always tell my patients listen to your body
because it knows best, and the doctor knows
little. Your body is telling you that you
have Celiac disease and if you continue this
routine of eating the wheat sources, you are
going to develop arthritis. I would
immediately stop eating any wheat, start
taking fish
oils and GLA and CLA,
and no beer
either.
I don't know how old you are, so I will say
your cholesterol is okay at 195; actually,
where it should be. I can't tell you much
about your BUN, because I don't know how much
you weigh or how much you exercise, and BUN
is dependent in muscle mass, exercise,
protein intake and water intake. With a BUN
of 30 and a normal creatinine, I wouldn't
worry, but again, I don't
have enough details.

THE U.S. WELLNESS MEATS GUIDE TO BRISKET |
|
Fire up your grill, smoker or oven and get
ready to wow your friends and family with a
delicious brisket recipe from US Wellness
Meats. Start with a flavorful rub:
Beef Brisket Rub
Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
Directions:
Mix all ingredients together. Rub into
surface of the brisket immediately before
cooking.
Next, select your favorite cooking method and
follow these guidelines for cooking a moist,
tender brisket:
- Regardless of cooking method, always cook
the brisket ( 3
pounder or whole
brisket) with the fat side up.
- Cook brisket at a low temperature (200 to
300 degrees) for an extended period of time.
- Wrap brisket in heavy duty foil to help
retain juices.
- Allow brisket to rest for a minimum of 30
minutes after cooking and before slicing.
- Cook brisket
in the oven at 200 degrees,
2 hours per pound.
- Smoke brisket at 220 to 240 degrees for
1.5 hours per pound.
- Grill brisket over indirect heat, 250 to
300 degrees, 1 hour per pound.
- Brisket is ready for slicing when
internal temperature reaches 175 to 190
degrees.
- Add sauce to brisket (optional) after
slicing.
ENJOY!
