Living Free in Tennessee - Nicole Sauce

Last year was filled with adversity, heartbreak, moments of insane work schedule, worry, great friends, fun adventures and so much more. And as I reflected on my next step in life, I realized that I need to grow as a person, must grow my businesses in order to grow my independence, and want to grow my food because it brings me happiness and stability. So today, we will have a great interview with a fellow who is growing food for fun and has recently launched his business. But he is more than that: Mark Alexander is one of the angels in our network who is there to encourage, make jokes with and ask us hard questions. You will find him lurking about the LFTN Mewe group, but you can also see him live in the Columbia area or order his yummy farm meat products.

Today I have a great interview with Jami Saunders from the Culinary Arts Center in Columbia, Tennessee. But Jami is much more than a savvy promoter of local businesses. She is a Mom of SEVEN who homeschools and is popping with new ideas. YOU guys are going to LOVE this interview! Direct Download How to reach Cliff Davis https://www.facebook.com/cliffdavispc Post from Facebook Interview with Jami Saunders Websites: https://www.columbiacac.com/ https://www.facebook.com/jami.saunders Bio Jami Saunders is not originally from Columbia, TN, but she has made it her home. Originally from Atwood, IL, she moved her family here in 2010 and established herself in the homeschooling community as a leader while teaching health, science, entrepreneurial economics, and more. Jami was previously known for her award-winning photography and her involvement in raising service dogs for the handicapped for Canine Companions for Independence. In 2017 the needs of the community and her love of bringing education on nutrition inspired her to create what is now the Culinary Arts Center in Columbia, TN. Most days you will find her hosting an event for the community; serving as vice president for the Muletowner (an initiative by Grow Columbia that promotes Columbia, TN and its businesses by acting as a practical everyday resource for residents and visitors); hosting a local radio; and serving as a proud Rotarian. This mother of 7 beautiful children still finds the time and energy to pour herself out into small businesses, community organizations, and into the heart and culture of Columbia. Make it a great week!

Happy Wednesday! Today is a homesteading day. We just got a whole cow in the freezer that we share among several families each year. The cow comes with bones. The bones become stock. And we end up with beef tallow. The other day, someone asked me if beef tallow can be eaten, so I thought why now do a show sharing five recipe ideas for beef tallow. We will cover that, as well as what the heck tallow even is later in the show. #HollerHatWednesday: Where is she and who is she with? Stump the Sauce What is the benefit of having a manual espresso maker like the flair or rok? With proper technique can they make a really good espresso shot? What's Up on the homestead Getting ready for a new goat Lots of firewood (the game we are playing) Ducks and the pond on cold days Main topic of the Show: 5 Beef Tallow Recipes Check out this roundtable discussion of random stuff I had with Jack Spirko today!
