Going Whole Hog in the food industry is a call to action. It means promoting environmental stewardship and reducing waste by utilizing every possible portion of the pork carcass.

Hold your hour! You've got me gobsmacked now. Guinness Bratwurst? Yep, we did it. We know, we know...traditional beer brats aren't pre cooked and you would never think to use a dark beer...but we kinda do our own thing and we like it that way. Here's to firing up the grill this Saint Patrick's Day.
2 packages Pederson's Bratwurst
4 tablespoons butter
1 whole yellow onion, thin sliced
1, 12 oz Guinness Extra Stout
1/4 teaspoon salt
black pepper to taste
If you're going to be grilling these little beauties outside, get the fire started now so it's ready when the Brats are. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced onions and salt and pepper. Sauté until onions just start to soften. Add in the Guinness. Add whole sausages to the beer and onion mixture; do not cut up the sausage. Simmer uncovered over low-medium heat for approximately 10-12 minutes. Remove sausages and continue to cook onions over low heat until brats are ready. Grill the whole brats over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side, just long enough to form a nice grill mark.
Remove brats from the grill and cut into bun length pieces. Turn off heat on the onions. Serve brats on a warm, buttered bun and top with the sautéed onions.

Top O' the mornin' to ya! Did you know in Ireland they call bacon "bagun" and it's pronounced baw-goon? Yeah, it's true. These yummy "bagun" studded shortbreads will have you passing up the pancakes this St. Patty's Day and opting for a more traditional fair instead. These may be a bit sweeter than some shortbreads you're used to, but once you get a bite with yummy, salty bacon....it's like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

We've been renewing our New Year's resolutions around here which means "paleo" has been a buzzword quite often. As a busy girl, meal planning and preparation has just never worked for me. I don't know if it's the fact that I can't sit still long enough to do it or the idea of going into a big box grocery store with all the fluorescent lights beating down on me while I will myself to walk past the oreos that makes it so overwhelming to think about. Either way, diet changes are hard for me. Enter "Paleo on the Go." For a girl who likes to experience good food, it has been a God-send. I can honestly say I've had a delicious dinner every evening this week thanks to Paleo on the Go!
