About a month ago, Mr. A Southern Soul and I along with 3 other families banded together and purchased a cow. Honestly, it’s kinda awkward saying that and just doesn’t quite sound right but anyway, you know what I mean. After several emails with details like how thick we wanted our steaks cut and did we want bones, we came up with a plan. I got our freezer ready, then, just waited until our farmer called with a delivery date.
I had no idea what to expect but kept an open mind since the 2 main reasons we decided to do this was price and quality of meat. The day finally arrived and we loaded up our freezer and I started planning what to cook. Friends, I am SO HAPPY with our purchase. Every piece of meat that I’ve cooked has been delicious!
One of my families new favorite recipes is a braised chuck roast made with onions, garlic, beef stock and peppadew peppers. The peppers give the beef a mild, spicy flavor that is enhanced with rich juices made from braising. This easy recipe could also be made in the crock pot.
I’ve served this roast with my cheese grits casserole and a fresh salad. If you live in the Piedmont Triad area of North Carolina, here’s the link to where you can purchase beef along with other locally grown food from my farmer friend.

We always talk about ordering some beef from a local farmer this way. We just need to find someone to split it with us first.

We were the same. It worked out for us that 3 other families were interested. I am shocked at how great the beef is. It sure does make planning for dinner much easier – I just shop my freezer!
Thanks for stopping by.
