The Value (and Savings) of A Good Butchere

A good butcher has been essential for me.

Key to eating with high copper is eating more meat for the zinc. Key to eating with histamine intolerance is ensuring that it is very fresh (no discolouration) and no chemicals to preserve it.

It took some time to find a butcher who actually butchers on premises and will cut to order. It seems strange to say that but that is the reality of the post supermarket world.

And making friends with your local butcher has other benefits. They will put aside the chicken carcasses for me (which still have so much chicken meat on them) and it makes the most delicious chicken stock.

Three huge carcasses cost me only $2.06 and has made the most amazing golden heart warming stock that not only adds flavour to any dish but nurtures the gut.

Who have you made friends with in your journey to wellness?

Abundance

Abundant Organics

For me part of living with the reality of the 'no' list of foods is finding enjoyment in the 'yes' list.

Having grieved for a respectable time the removal of tomatoes from my diet (not to mention pumpkin, eggplant, and spinach) I am now inspired to find flavour and enjoyment in other vegetables.

Today I received my first delivery from Abundant Organics and it was abundant indeed. This is what greeted me this afternoon.

I now have a new obsession, some heirloom organic 'purple'  carrots (just see peeking out left bottom) not to mention those incredible spring onions! Purple carrots anyone?

[Since writing this post I have tried another organic delivery service Lettuce Delivery with a slightly wider variety but sadly not this freshness]
