Dear Hallee: Eating Dairy & Meat

Posted by Hallee on Jan 19, 2012 in Christian Faith, Hallee's Galley, Life, Natural Health

What are your thoughts on dairy and meat? I am so confused about it all, there is so much conflicting info out there.

As much as I wish otherwise, there isn’t a simple answer to this question.

Turkey Sandwich Meat

Posted by Hallee on Apr 20, 2011 in entrees, Hallee's Galley, Recipes, Snacks

It is so simple to make your own sandwich meat, and it tastes SO much better than anything you can purchase prepackaged or have sliced at a supermarket deli.

Sweetheart Steak for Two

Posted by Hallee on Feb 14, 2011 in American Quisine, entrees, Hallee's Galley, Recipes

A “Sweetheart Steak” is a rib-eye steak specially cut to resemble a heart. There is a membrane running down the middle of it that separates the two steaks. It is a tender, beautiful cut of meat, and just fun enough to be a perfect main course for a Valentine’s Day dinner.

Savory Lamb & Fennel Stew

Posted by Hallee on Dec 28, 2010 in entrees, Hallee's Galley, Recipes, Soups

I was shopping at Whole Foods one day and saw lamb shank in their meet counter. I’d just put a bunch of fennel in my basket, and when I saw the shank I thought how good a lamb and fennel stew would be. I’d never done stew without beef before, but the final result was amazing.

Rosemary & Garlic Grilled Birmingham Lamb Loin Chops

Posted by Hallee on Aug 5, 2010 in entrees, Hallee's Galley, Mediterranean, Recipes

I made this lamb in a hotel room in Birmingham, Alabama. The lamb was purchased at Fresh Market and was from a local farmer. It was AMAZING. As I type this it’s 8:00 in the morning and I’m wishing I had another plate of it.

Comfort Food Meatloaf

Posted by Hallee on Jul 9, 2010 in American Quisine, entrees, Hallee's Galley, Recipes

Meatloaf is one of my favorite dishes, if I prepare it or if my mother prepares it. I’ve learned not to order it in restaurants or get it off of buffets, because a lot of people do something to it that I just don’t do – but I’m not sure what that is. I’ve always used green peppers when I make it, but I didn’t have any the day I made it for these pictures, so I used yellow peppers. I LOVED the difference. I will from now on use yellow peppers to make my meatloaf.

Give a Pig a Pancake

Posted by Hallee on Mar 30, 2010 in apologetics, biblical manhood, Biblical womanhood, Christian Faith, Hallee's Galley, holiness

One of the tenets that we live by is best said in Romans 14:2-17. What you eat, and what we eat, what we feed our families, is a choice. When we are criticized for our choice to follow God’s dietary laws with respect to eating clean real food, it always strikes us as kind of strange. There is hardly a more personal choice in the world than what one chooses to consume.

Outside of the odd critic, we have received a lot of questions about why we choose clean real food, and especially with respect to pork and bottom feeders, so I thought those two needed some specific explanation. This post will focus on pork.

Crockpot Vegetable Beef Soup

Posted by Hallee on Jan 20, 2010 in Hallee's Galley, Recipes, Soups

During a recent romantic weekend with Gregg, we decided that we did not want to eat out. Our hotel had a kitchenette with no stove, so we took a crockpot with us and made a vegetable beef soup that we were able to eat for lunch all weekend. It was absolutely wonderful, and tasty, and went perfectly with the cheese platters that Gregg prepared.

Tip: How to Break Down a Chicken

Posted by Hallee on Dec 3, 2009 in Hallee's Galley, kitchen & cooking tips

It’s so much cheaper to break your own chicken down than to pay the price for a “whole cut up chicken”. Substantially cheaper. Cheaper like half as much per pound cheaper. Here’s how you break down a bird.
