I know people are going to complain when they see the photo of the pig’s head. The last time I posted a photo of offal (I believe it was the cow tongue), I got a lot of complaints.

I think we have become too sanitized and sheltered in America. Pigs have heads. Cows have tongues. And they are meant to be eaten.

We just got back from our Christmas trip to visit family in Texas. I had the most interesting talk with the woman sitting next to me on the plane. I feel compelled to share it with you all.

I grew up in Texas, and chili is still one of my favorite meals (nachos is number one). Here’s a Texas-style (no beans) chili recipe that is GAPS legal and incorporates organ meats — namely, heart. It was delicious — and I swear, you can’t taste the heart. This made just enough for 2 1/2 [...]
