In terms of protein, grass-fed meat is the way to go. The only downsides are the price and the flavor is a little bit different. ( a little more gamey) Whole Foods and Trader Joe's both sell grass-fed beef and Tom orders his meat in bulk through US Wellness Meats. So a package comes in the mail, Tom comes home and sees it on the porch and you would think it was Christmas. Every once in a while Tom will give me a weird cut of meat or something I've never heard of an idea. The past few days he's been asking me to use his beef shin-meat and make a stew. He found this recipe online and it turned out pretty well so I decided to post it on here for all of you.
Melt In Your Mouth Shin Beef Stew
I made a few changes to the recipe. First, I didn't have any cinnamon sticks so I added in a few tablespoons of ground cinnamon And for the Chianti wine, I used what we had on hand, a Cabernet Sauvignon. Feel free to use what ever red wine you have a preference for. Tom also had some beef cubes that needed to be used so we added them in as well. when you make this stew, you can use whatever meat you want (not exactly sure how readily available shin-meat is).
Monday - 4 - I really like pizza - had a buffalo chicken slice followed by a sausage slice for lunch since it was brought in for a meeting - then had the salad I brought as my afternoon snack.
ReplyDeleteTuesday - 6 - did not have a glass of wine (like someone else in my house did) with a friend that stopped over for dinner after CF tonight.
