Merry Christmas! We want to take this time to wish all of you a blessed holiday season. It has been our pleasure to serve you for another year and we look forward to the opportunities that 2016 will bring.
If you are up for cutting your own steaks, purchasing meat in primal cuts is one of the most economical ways of enjoying the healthy benefits of grass fed steaks. Two of our most popular cuts, the Primal Beef Wellington Tenderloin or Primal Beef Strip Loin are back in stock this week. These steaks would be a great choice if you are entertaining for a New Years celebration. Another great choice for entertaining is prime rib, and we have a somewhat limited availability on our prime rib standing roasts for this week. (2 Rib, 3 Rib, and 6 Rib)

Tortured By Carbohydrates
Scott,
Your articles have discussed protein and fat extensively, but you have not said much about carbohydrate. I just returned from a 2 week vacation where I ate anything and everything. Some carbohydrate intake on the first day triggered problems for me ongoing by spiking my appetite. Do you suggest carbohydrate consumption for your clients? What weight training and cardio approaches do you suggest for women to lose body fat quickly?
Shauna
Shauna-
Targeted carbohydrate intake is very effective for fat burning, glycogen replenishment and overall performance. The correct timing, sources and amount of carbohydrates consumed must be based on individual needs as well as goals.

"So good!"
"I ordered this last week not expecting much but it's hard to find ready-made meals that are healthy. Wow, was I surprised. Way better than I expected. And the price is very reasonable considering I'm paying for meat that's already shrunk through the cooking process. Great flavor, too. I'll be getting more for sure!"

Pumpkin Spice Cake with Gingersnap Crust
Author: Mickey Trescott,
Difficulty: Moderate
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 50Minutes (+3 hrs for cake to set)
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- ¾ cup arrowroot powder
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1½ cups dates, pitted and soaked in hot water for 5 minutes
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons lard (or coconut oil)
- 1½ teaspoons fresh grated ginger root
For the Filling:
- 3 cups pureed pumpkin (canned or fresh roasted)
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup lard (or coconut oil, but lard is preferred)
- 2½ tablespoons gelatin
- 1½ tablespoons cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
For the Frosting:
- ⅓ cup arrowroot powder
- 2½ tablespoons lard (or coconut oil)
- 2 tablespoons honey
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and grease an 8- inch spring-form pan with either lard or coconut oil.
- Drain the dates, and place all of the ingredients in a food processor and process for a minute, until a thick and sticky mixture forms. You may be able to do this in a high-powered blender using the tamper, but be sure to stop to scrape the sides and take breaks because it will be hard on the motor. Don't overmix here - you want the dates to be slightly chunky and not completely incorporated.
- Transfer the mixture to the spring-form pan and spread evenly along the bottom with a spatula. Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a knife comes out clean when gently inserted. Set aside to cool.
- Combine all of the filling ingredients, cold in a pot. Turn the heat on medium-low, and heat, stirring constantly, for 5-10 minutes. The mixture should liquefy and the gelatin should dissolve. If you still have some chunks after 10 minutes, transfer to a blender and blend for a few seconds to incorporate.
- Pour into the spring-form pan over the gingersnap crust. Place in the refrigerator to set for at least 3 hours.
- To make the frosting, combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. A thick, spreadable frosting should form. If it is too runny, add more arrowroot, a teaspoon at a time until desired thickness is reached. The frosting will harden when placed in the refrigerator and soften at room temperature (although it shouldn't melt). When you are ready to frost your cake, you can either use a frosting kit or apply it to the top with a spatula.
Notes
- Do not add fresh ginger to the filling ingredients - it has an enzyme that breaks down the gelatin and will cause the cake not to set properly.
- This cake freezes well - if you don't eat it all, don't be afraid to freeze a few slices for later!
