Granola

-4 cups oats
-1 cup dried fruit
-½ cup sunflower seeds
-½ cup honey
-½ cup extra virgin olive oil
-2 tablespoons coarse salt
-1 teaspoon cinnamon
-1 tbsp of vanilla

Pre heat your oven to 350°

In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients together. Then mix in your honey, oil, n vanilla until the oats, fruit, n nuts are completely covered. Pour mixture onto a baking sheet that is covered with tinfoil or parchment paper.

Place in oven for 20-24 minutes or nice n golden brown.

Let cool for at least 6 hours before breaking up.

You can add whatever you like to this mixture. This is how I do mine. Chocolate chips would be good, coconut flakes, other nuts, and you can sub maple syrup for honey, n flax seed, or coconut oil for olive oil.

Made some salt n pepper jerky today. I only use a little curing salt n pepper, n there is no marinate. I like the taste n it's a lot like dry meat taste.

I made blueberry n goat cheese sourdough bread yesterday. I did something new to these loafs by adding fiber to them. The fiber didn't mess with the flavor or texture whatsoever. I used the Kirkland brand at Costco, basically it's just like Benefited, but ⅓ the cost.

GREAT POINT! Let's also remember that the diet of animals we consume directly affects the nutritional quality of meat, dairy, & eggs, which impacts human health. This is especially true when it comes to monogastric animals like pigs & poultry.

Modern farming practices have increased PUFA (polyunsaturated fat) levels in chicken and pork, contributing to the overconsumption of omega-6 fats which lead to massive disease causing inflammation.

You are what you eat, eats. Pork can be one of the healthiest foods on the planet or a fast food, causing illness just like the feed it consumed. You don't have to fear the fat if it wasn't fed a diet full of grain/corn/soy. Conventional chicken is now the highest source of linoleic acid (LA), omega-6 fat, in the American diet. Pigs fed a high-PUFA diet can have fat concentrations similar to canola oil. It all matters.

I'll also add that a species appropriately fed heritage breed pig CAN gain a larger (and healthier) fat cap with time & good forage. Acorn finished pork, being my personal favorite.

Today I smoked an elk meatloaf and roasted an acorn squash. The meatloaf consisted of 1.5 lbs of elk burger, .5 lb of pork sausage, egg, onion, bread crumb, and various seasonings. I utilized a bread pan, placing saran wrap in the bottom and sides. The mixture was packed in tightly and firmly to form a brick shape. After removing the saran wrap, which aided in maintaining the loaf's shape, I placed it on a wire rack. Bbq sauce was used as a binder and seasoning was applied to all sides except the bottom. The smoker was set at 225°, which I placed the meatloaf in for 3.5 hours, resulting in a temperature of 160°. I then covered the meatloaf n allowed it to rest for 15 minutes. The acorn squash was cubed, placed in a bowl, misted with avocado oil, seasoned, and mixed with two tbsps of maple syrup. It was then baked for one hour at 350°.
