"Cream" of broccoli soup. Broccoli from the local greenhouse was ready, so we celebrated with cream of broccoli soup. Only one problem. I forgot to buy cream. Or milk. So.... the creamy part is a blended bean base with some condiments like nutritional yeast and garlic powder added in for fake cheesiness. Turned out well, tho!

200 cal per cup, about 3 quarts of soup, 2400 cal, or 5 plates.

I butchered my other 2 turkeys this week. 🥺 I'm limited on freezer space currently, so I ground the meat. I dont love that method, because its so much less calories to save. But 24 pounds of ground turkey will appear in some of my upcomming meals.

Pretty excited about this meal! Almost totally local ingredients! Just the spices weren't. And a little can of green chillies and a little can or tomato paste.

This is award-winning venison chili. I used local green onions, tomatoes, green peppers, beans, ground deer meat, and squash in the chili.

Then I made pink cornbread! From the Hopi pink corn I grew in m y GAMCOD garden last year. Plus a beet. Duck eggs, honey, even the ACV was homeade.

Great combo! Here's the link to the recipe: https://www.missallieskitchen.com/venison-chili/

I doubled it, serves 8, it says, with 304 cal per serving. 4867cal,
One Cornbread muffin is 250cal. Times 20 is 5,000cal
19 plates.

Waffles and hippo syrup this morning for breakfast! I made the last one in a butterfly shape by special toddler request!
2000cal, or 4 plates

Next, we had minestrone soup. I cooked up carrots, walking onions, lovage, diced tomatoes I canned last year, and my homeade chicken broth. Spiced with my bee balm blend. Beans were local, too! The only non-local ingredient was the noodles. I'd like to experiment with making more shapes of noodles. So far, we've just made spaghetti, fettuccine and lasagna/ravioli.

125cal per cup, 1 gallon of soup is 2,000cal or 4 plates.

Yesterday's breakfast was elk sausage and hashbrowns. I often serve breakfast buffet-style, where I offer a fruit and veggie with the main dish. Bird bites for my kids' plates don't add many calories on top of the main dish. So I'll just count the cup of sauerkraut and grapes I put on my own plate.

1 lb elk sausage- 500cal
4 big spuds- 600cal
Avocado oil -300cal
Sauerkraut- 30cal
Grapes- 100cal

3 meals
