#partner Comment COW and I’ll send you more details! How much beef is a quarter cow? This is grass finished beef in Virginia. With all the conversation around lab grown meat, I want to know exactly where our beef comes from. This is real beef from cattle raised by @chapelcreekfarms , a local Virginia farm. It’s pasture raised, grass finished, and now it’s stocked in our freezer for family meals. Our quarter cow share for September 2026, gave us about 70 pounds of beef for under $1,000. We chose plenty of ground beef because we use it constantly, along with steaks, roasts, and stew meat. If you’ve seen someone get more beef from a quarter, that’s completely possible. The animal’s frame determines how much meat is available, and your choice of cuts affects the final take home weight. This was the yield from our share. For our family of 6, buying beef in bulk is an investment I’m happy to make. I know where it came from, I know the farmers who raised it, and I know what I’m serving my kids. ❤️ Next year, in April we plan to purchase a half cow share. Definitely get in contact with Chapel Creek Farms for pasture raised beef, and reserve yours today! You will absolutely love working with Melody, and make sure you let her know Aimee sent you! 📍 Montvale, Virginia @chapelcreekfarms #virginiabeef #cancersurvivor #meatinthefreezer

When you search “kale” here on Instagram, you’ll see many carnivore enthusiasts claiming that greens are horrible for you, specifically kale. But again, like I’ve said many times, I look at all of this differently. I see the arguments on both sides, but long standing traditions are our greatest asset for knowing how to eat. The Japanese people are the longest living people group. They eat a diet high in greens, but I have noticed they are mostly (not always) cooked. So, I eat mostly cooked kale. I will not fear kale, or any other green. I like lightly steamed greens in my breakfast eggs or in soups. I also eat cooked beets, and I’ve witnessed incredible results with my carrot, beet, and apple combo. Don’t fear greens! Eat them often, and enjoy the health benefits ❤️ Also, follow the patterns from people who are passing down these traditions, not a modern day health craze. #Kale #homemakeronabudget

Comment CREAMY and I’ll send you the recipe! Creamy hamburger soup is the cozy fall dinner I’ll be making on repeat. 🍂🥣 Here’s what makes this ground beef soup different: I grate the vegetables instead of chopping them into cubes. They look like shredded cheese going into the pot, then soften into the creamy broth. Every spoonful has vegetables, ground beef, and all the comfort you want from a homemade soup. #HamburgerSoup #CreamyHamburgerSoup #GroundBeefSoup #FallSoupRecipes #EasyFallDinners

For every load of laundry, I pour 1/4 cup vinegar into the fabric softener compartment. Feel free to get creative with the scents by adding 15 to 20 drops of essential oils or incorporating fresh ingredients like mint, citrus peels, or lavender.

You pass them in the grocery store every fall, but do you actually know how to cook them? Acorn squash is one of the easiest fall fruits to prepare. It’s rich in fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and colorful plant compounds that help support digestion, immune health, and overall cellular health. Here’s how I make it: Cut the squash in half and scoop out the seeds. Rub it with olive oil and bake at 400°F for about 1 hour, flipping halfway through. Season with salt and pepper, and that’s it! Comment ROAST and make my delicious baked beef chuck roast to go with this acorn squash for the perfect fall meal! 🍂

Long before women had clinical trials, they had generations of wisdom passed down from mother to daughter. 🌿 Comment TEA for my favorite brand! Red raspberry leaf has been used for centuries as a women’s herb to support the uterus and bring comfort during our monthly cycles. It’s naturally rich in protective polyphenols, including ellagitannins and flavonoids, which provide antioxidant support for the body. As someone with endometriosis, my monthly cycles have never been easy. But I’ve started drinking one cup of red raspberry leaf tea each day during my cycle, and I have noticed such a difference in how manageable those days feel. Just remember, the old ways are still worth remembering. ❤️ * FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES, ONLY NOT MEDICAL ADVICE #menstrualcycle #cancersurvivor #homemakeronabudget
