Today’s post in my series on organ meats uses bison liver from US Wellness Meats. However, you can use any other type of liver if you wish. Liver contains high levels of retinol (preformed vitamin A). This type of vitamin A is ready to be used by the body, unlike beta-carotene, which the body must ...Read More
Palak Paneer with Naan
A prospective client told me she could only do keto if she could still eat Indian food. I told her of course she could! However, I have very little experience with cooking or eating Indian food. I’ve cooked an occasional crockpot butter chicken, I’ve eaten at an Indian restaurant once, and in grad school (back ...Read More
Lengua Tacos
Today’s installment of my exploration of organ meats features: cow tongue! I used beef tongue from US Wellness Meats. Eating beef tongue is a part of eating “nose-to-tail”. Making sure that none of the animal goes to waste is more ethical than eating only your favorite parts and discarding the rest. Beef tongue contains folate, ...Read More

I ❤️ Bacon Burgers
For the first recipe in my exploration of organ meats I decided to use beef heart. It seemed appropriate so close to Valentine’s Day. The heart is a muscle, although it has a stronger flavor and denser texture than other muscle meats. It is very lean, which makes it higher in protein than some other ...Read More
Organ Meats: Does Offal Have to be Awful?
Eating organ meats is an important part of the ancestral health movement. Whether they’re paleo, primal, or clean-eating keto, nearly anyone who advocates eating according to our bodies’ biological needs rather than eating what industrial agriculture and flawed nutritional guidelines push at us will say that everyone should be eating organ meats. Historically, organ meats ...Read More
