RECIPE: Sausage Gravy
This sausage gravy is easy, versatile, and freezes well to boot! I like to whip up a mega batch and freeze it in family-sized portions so it’s ready for busy days during the school year. Go the classic route and eat it over eggs, potatoes, or biscuits. This also makes a killer pizza sauce (top with cheese of choice, mushrooms, and red onions), and it is the perfect base for Pepper Sausage Pasta. However you choose to chow down, we know this will be a family favorite recipe at your house.
RECIPE: 100% Grassfed Bison Steak Perfection
Bison steaks are very similar to beef steaks, and can mostly be prepared in the same ways. The one difference is that bison is quite a bit leaner than beef, so you’ll want to keep a close eye on time and temperature, to make sure not to overcook. One great method is to sear the meat on a hot grill first, then finish cooking it in the oven. Check out these cooking tips, below, for tender, juicy results!

RECIPE: Ready for Summer Rhubarb Cilantro Dip
I love a recipe that handed off on a post it because I begged to know how to make it. Shadow brought this one to the ranch last week, and I’ve been bugging her to give me the details since. It’s a super flexible recipe. Keep the ingredients fresh and raw, and you’ll have a salsa or relish for your wraps. Prep the veggies with a little blanching and simmering, you can turn it into a sauce for slathering on delicious meats as well. And any excuse to use more of that prolific rhubarb is a win in my book.
