Like most of my recipes, it starts with experimenting. A little of this. A little of that. I love when recipes are flexible and customizable since everyone has different tastes.<br />
<br />
The start of a new year brings added motivation to reach new goals, but why does it only have to be on January 1? I started listening to a podcast by Rachel Hollis earlier this fall and she talks about living the last quarter of the year like we do the first 30 daysof a new year. The concept is called 'Last 90 days.' It's inspiring and while most days did not go according to plan with my fitness and nutrition goals <i>(hello real life!)</i>, I made more progress than I would otherwise. Why give up on yourself and stuff yourself full of cookies just to start over in a month? Be kind to yourself. Yes, sometimes this means going for a run and not eating those cookies; sometimes it means taking a nap after work.<br />

Moving your body is a necessary part of the fitness equation. However, don't overlook the nutrition aspect since it accounts for about 80 percent of your progress. Treats are okay, but cannot happen every hour on the hour.<br />
<br />
Finding the time to eat healthy is hard, especially with a demanding career. It's essential to make it simple <i>(otherwise it does not happen in my world)</i>. I love starting the day with a protein smoothie. It's easy and portable, and I can drink it while getting ready.<br />

<br />
Pack healthy snacks to avoid mid-day temptations in the break room. Apples, cheese sticks, chocolate milk <i>(single serves are fanastic)</i>, crackers, and beef jerky are a few options.<br />
<br />
Like most of my recipes, this one is customizable to your preferences. I love to sneak extra protein in wherever I can, so I choose Fairlife milk for my smoothies <i>(almost double the protein!)</i>. Regular milk is also a great option since both have the same nutrients. You can also use whichever milk chocolate protein powder you prefer.<br />
<br />
To make this into a dessert, just add a scoop of chocolate ice cream for a protein milk shake.<br />
<br />
Cheers to a great day!<br />

I was in New Mexico for a six-week dairy program between my sophomore and junior years of college. I vividly remember one of my classmates saying how the song is so relatable to many people because we all have that house we grew up in that helped shape us into who we are today. At 20, I didn't think too much of it. At 30, I do.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
For me, that house was a two-story white farm house with a kitchen overlooking one of the cow pastures. It was full of cow decorations, Mary Moos and so many family photos. If you didn't know better, you might think the dairy farm had moved indoors. Today, you'd think that of my place. It was where my brother and I grew up. It was where we learned about hard work. Actually, a lot of that also took place in the barn, on the tractor, and in the driveway where we would lead our show cows around.<br />
<br />
That house. That barn. It was home. It always will be.<br />
<br />
However, that wasn't our parents house. As the kids of very busy parents who both worked in the airline/aviation business, we were lucky to have dairy farmers for grandparents. Although the milk cows have been gone and the stantion barn empty for years, you couldn't convince me that Grandpa wasn't overjoyed the day two Holstein heifers arrived back on the farm as our first 4-H projects.<br />

<br />
This house. This farm. This is the farm that built me.<br />
<br />
The hardest thing I ever did was leave. It gets easier every time, but I'll never forget that nervous feeling the summer I jetted off to New Mexico to a small town I had to find on a map because I didn't know where it was. 'What was I doing?! They could use my help at home. I only know one person in this program. What did I get myself into?' All of these thoughts passed through my mind while boarding the plane in Salt Lake City on the second of three flights to Clovis. Leaving that summer opened many doors into the dairy industry for me. It reassured me that I could stand on my own two feet in a place where I knew no one; that sure came in handy later when I moved to Indiana. And Grandpa? He was always sad to see me leave. It broke my heart everytime. And everytime he would say, "I'll be waiting for you. Good bye!'<br />

<br />
It's hard to describe exactly what growing up on a farm does to you. Between the new show calves that have yet to grasp the concept of walking on a halter and the frustration caused by equipment breaking as you are trying to beat the rain because you've got hay down in the field, something happens. Something special. And it definitely doesn't feel special at the time. At the end of the day, it's building perserverance. It's building grit. And it's building character.<br />
<br />
It's also building tight-knit families and communities.<br />
<br />
I never could imagine what life would be like without the farm or without my grandparents. Then Grandpa passed away at 93 and I fell apart. And in February, we lost Granny. I haven't really talked about it. I haven't known how. Even as a writer, I couldn't find the right words. They were the backbone of our farm and of our family. They shaped us into the people we are today and gave us the best gift of all: a love of farming.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
As farmers, we talk about the number of generations involved on the farm. It's something to take pride in. Passing it to the next generation can create challenges, but it's the perserverance, grit and character that keeps each generation going. Milk prices are terrible. Many farms are struggling. And yet, they can't quit. I hear ya. Once it's in your blood, it feels like losing yourself to lose the farm. Fortunately, we didn't.<br />

Before I was old enough to remember any memories, I was riding on the tractor with Grandpa, grocery shopping with Granny and tagging along on random adventures. Before long, it was ingrained in me. I'm beyond thankful to be involved in the dairy industry.<br />
<br />
June is National Dairy Month. It's a time to celebrate the dairy community, our cows and the amazing product produced by an industry that creates so many jobs on and off the farm and impacts the community in a big way.<br />
<br />

<br />
For me, June Dairy Month is a time to reflect back on what brought me to where I am today. It was my Grandpa. My 4-H leaders. My family. Our dairy community. Our farm. It truly takes a village, especially to raise a 4-H kid. And for that, I'm truly grateful.<br />
<br />
My Grandpa's legacy is something I strive to carry on each day. It drives my work, my passion for dairy and the kind of person I am. So many families in the dairy industry could say the exact same thing. And that's also part of what makes this community more of a family.<br />

Many people create New Years Resolutions each year and many of those go out the window before January is over. Especially those weight loss and fitness goals. If losing a few pounds is on your 'To Do' list this year, check out my <a href="http://www.kimmisdairyland.com/p/fitness-weight-loss.html" target="_blank">weight loss series here</a>. Losing weight is HARD. There is no short cut and no quick fix. It takes time, patience and a lot of perseverance. Last year, I lost 30 pounds. I wanted to increase my energy and more importantly, my confidence. I'd struggled with my weight on and off since I was 8 years old and it took more than 20 years to find the real secret to losing weight. Now I'm down to the last few pounds and onto the lifelong journey of maintaining it. Like I said, no quick fix.<br />

While exercise is a necessary component of a healthy lifestyle, about 80 percent of the battle is nutrition. Planning meals ahead of time gives you more control of what you are eating and also saves you money at the grocery store since you are only buying ingredients you actually need.<br />
<br />
If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender or similar device to chop the almonds.<br />

Blackberries grow like weeds in our pastures, and while our cows love their treats from the garden, they seem to leave the wild blackberries alone. It may be the thistles. Smart cows.<br />

Jam is easy to make and you can make it year round. I love to use extra fruit from canning to make jam, but have also been known to use frozen fruit. Frozen fruit is readily available in the freezer aisle and tastes just as good in jam. This is actually what I usually give to people as Christmas gifts.<br />

Blackberry jam is perfect as ice cream topping, on toast, in PBJ sandwiches and anywhere else you need something sweet. I made a marinade with blackberry jam and barbecue sauce last week for chicken and we loved it. Very versatile.<br />
<br />
Mom's secret is to add a small amount of butter to the berry and sugar mixture while it is on the stove to reduce foaming.<br />
<br />
This makes about 8 cups of jam.<br />

<br />
<b><u>Directions</u></b><br />
<br />
<b>To prepare jam:</b><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Start with about 8 cups of blackberries</li>
<li>Crush berries</li>
<li>Use a dry measuring cup to measure crushed berries (you should have about 4 cups of crushed berries) and sugar and place in a large pan or stockpot</li>
<li>Mix sugar and berries together</li>
<li>Add 1 tablespoon butter (This reduces foaming)</li>
<li>Cook on medium to high heat until it comes to a rolling boil</li>
<li>Set a timer for 60 seconds</li>
<li>Add the pectin </li>
<li>Stir continuously for 60 seconds </li>
<li>Promptly remove from heat</li>
<li><b>SEE DIRECTIONS ON PREPARING JARS BELOW BEFORE PROCEEDING TO THE NEXT STEP</b></li>
<li>When jam is done cooking, remove jars from the baking tray and place rightside up on a towel on the counter</li>
<li>Use a funnel on the jars and a ladle to add jam to the jars</li>
<li>Wipe the rims of all jars</li>
<li>Place lids on jars (always use new lids; you can reuse jars and bands after cleaning and sanitizing them, but not lids)</li>
<li>Tighten bands on jars</li>
<li>Turn jars upside down for about 10 minutes</li>
<li>Turn jars rightside up</li>
<li>You should hear the lids "pop" (seal)</li>
<li>Let jars cool on a towel on the counter</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
<b>To prepare jars: (Do this as the same time as jam is cooking)</b><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Place a baking tray over 2 burners on the stove</li>
<li>Add jars upside down</li>
<li>Add enough water to cover the rims of the jars (ensure that there is enough water throughout the process; you may need to add more)</li>
<li>Turn the heat on high for both burners</li>
<li>Periodically move the jars around so they heat evenly (be careful, they will be hot)</li>
</ol>
<br />
<br />
Enjoy the jam!<br />

Many of our timeless memories, however, were not created during the holidays. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc0NUI8nVPcg9OClOzGBcK2MBui_9hWj2ihyznJORmAHXQtsPr7LHU3wPe_IlG8TkuiizxQi5wQ76A2OJ__7ZP_eufbUS8nmUxFV3tuWPB8JzghpjKNdD5M6FS7XaYWRNLp6htxkJvuILo/s1600/Grandpa+%2526+Queeni+at+sale+barn+2014.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="1280" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc0NUI8nVPcg9OClOzGBcK2MBui_9hWj2ihyznJORmAHXQtsPr7LHU3wPe_IlG8TkuiizxQi5wQ76A2OJ__7ZP_eufbUS8nmUxFV3tuWPB8JzghpjKNdD5M6FS7XaYWRNLp6htxkJvuILo/s320/Grandpa+%2526+Queeni+at+sale+barn+2014.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
One of my favorites involves our Saturday tradition of going to the nearby livestock auction, or the sale as we call it. This was part of Grandpa's Saturday routine for as far back as I can remember. He would meet some other farmers for lunch and then watch the sale for an hour or so. My brother tagged along from a young age and always wanted to be just like Grandpa. I started attending on a more regular basis in high school.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSFHioHyA_ArK3DF7IpfDy8JSBqo7YMSPNQDX6JqZ-UQkNDkTLmZw-BErQd4R-s-yhyZ_Jeq_aOr2oLPNX-BTV1xpjmloR1PC6evP1vtWuoOWxACo5ZNm6DNeC9ua9tIcwWKS-urInzXlS/s1600/sale+barn+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSFHioHyA_ArK3DF7IpfDy8JSBqo7YMSPNQDX6JqZ-UQkNDkTLmZw-BErQd4R-s-yhyZ_Jeq_aOr2oLPNX-BTV1xpjmloR1PC6evP1vtWuoOWxACo5ZNm6DNeC9ua9tIcwWKS-urInzXlS/s320/sale+barn+1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The sale was more than just the auctioning of cattle and other livestock. It was a time to come together as an agricultural community. Our cows like routine and so do we, and this was a weekend staple. It was a fun way to share our love of cattle and farming, as well as catch up with others at the sale. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-9692681107517191" data-ad-slot="1860200265" style="display: inline-block; height: 280px; width: 336px;"></ins><script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script></div>
<br />
Over the last few years, Grandpa's visits to the sale became more and more infrequent, except when I was home and would take him. The last time we went together he was hesitant to go. He said nobody would know him or care that he was there. He was nearing his 93rd birthday and had been part of this community for his entire life. As we were leaving the sale, the auctioneer said, "Goodbye Mr. Johnson!" over the loud speaker. This simple gesture meant the world to a 92-year-old farmer who felt like he was too old to be remembered or involved in anything anymore. It also meant the world to me. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip5hR6lWonij7DhyphenhyphenMzV-sBh6agi2q82V96z4Q2wzFBdPvUmafSrUFvJkt5Rc2gqm3nxlmDAliduN1ADjvyX0ONDEYOm_WKceFqbc9BjSfjm6fssNTzm-HSOh6CDHxbO6Hcgq-pkGVDmgtg/s1600/Grandpa+at+sale+barn.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip5hR6lWonij7DhyphenhyphenMzV-sBh6agi2q82V96z4Q2wzFBdPvUmafSrUFvJkt5Rc2gqm3nxlmDAliduN1ADjvyX0ONDEYOm_WKceFqbc9BjSfjm6fssNTzm-HSOh6CDHxbO6Hcgq-pkGVDmgtg/s320/Grandpa+at+sale+barn.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
The sale barn created memories for many people in our community, and this was ever so evident when the auctioneer passed away in November of this year. The outpouring of support is what I love about small towns. I am still so thankful for Ron's (the auctioneer) kindness toward Grandpa that day and for our town. <br />
<br />
Without realizing it, Grandpa set quite the example for my brother and me and he is the reason we are both involved in farming today. Whether we were helping with hay, feeding cows, walking show cows and getting ready for the next show or anything else, he was always willing to help. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<script async="" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<!-- Ad inside post -->

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script></div>
<br />
These days, I'm creating my own memories at the sale barn in Indiana. It's 2,000 miles and a world away from the sale barn back home, but I know Grandpa is still there with me. <br />

Holidays bring out the cook in everyone. So many unique (and delicious) dishes. holidays get especially busy at the farm. Farmers cannot leave 'work at the office and enjoy the day.' Don't get me wrong - they definitely enjoy the day, after the work is done.<br />

With livestock, every day is business as usual - <a href="http://www.kimmisdairyland.com/2015/11/dairy-faq-what-are-holidays-like-on.html" target="_blank">holiday or not</a>. Dairy cattle need to be milked, all livestock need to be fed, ice on the water troughs need to be broken if it is below freezing, and chores need to be completed. It's all about balance, and everyone pitches in to get the work done.<br />

That's what I love about farming - the family component. It brings families together to work for a common goal. And what better goal than literally feeding the community and the world?

Perfect for holiday parties. Perfect for summer picnics. Perfect for snacking - in moderation, of course. Chocolate peanut butter ice cream is one of my favs, and these <b>Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies</b> are just as good! The best of both worlds: all the chewiness of classic peanut butter cookies with the rich chocolate you love.<br />

There is nothing like homemade cookies. Store bought cookies or even prepared cookie dough just does not measure up. It's a little extra work, but toss the ingredients into your favorite mixer and you'll have cookie dough in no time.<br />

Most of my cookie making memories are from my early childhood. Mom would make cookie dough and even though we weren't supposed to, we loved to sneak some of the cookie dough. Decorating Christmas cookies was always fun too!<br />

Our family celebrates the holidays potluck style with the entire side of the family. Hosting rotates between my mom and her siblings for each event and each year. Of course, everyone is known for a favorite dish and generally brings that. Aunt Mabel has a delicious dirt pudding recipe that was always a favorite with the kids. Then there's a pretzel salad with raspberry jello and cool whip that is amazing and several other staples.<br />

As a kid, cranberry sauce was my favorite part of Christmas dinner, and Mom would bring one can for each my brother and I and then another for everyone else. On the farm, the animals still need to be fed on holiday mornings. On a dairy, there is milking and more than has to be done. This stays on schedule with non-holidays and everything else fits around it. At our place, we make sure the beef cows have enough hay to eat and their water trough is full. We do the same in the evening as well. They are sweethearts. I doubt they realize it's a holiday; although, I'm sure they are aware of the extra commotion.<br />

The holidays (or any day, really) aren't the same without Grandpa. He loved his cows and his family so much. This photo was a few years ago during a snow storm, which isn't a frequent occurrence in our neck of the woods. He was going out to feed the cows.

It is always a treat when Granny makes breakfast. And I have to tell ya, she does breakfast right. The skillet comes out of the cupboard and there are omelets, bacon, the best hash browns I have ever eaten, and whatever fruit we have on hand that day. I'll tell you a secret to these hash browns - bacon grease! Now, don't use the whole can of it or you won't be too happy. Just a little. It adds flavor, and you were already making bacon, right?<br />

A good breakfast with plenty of flavor and protein is necessary to keep you going strong, whether your day entails a long day in the field farming, running a race or working in the office. Starting the day hungry isn't productive. We are currently in the middle of harvest (hello mid-October!), which means farmers are spending most of their time in a tractor or combine to bring the crops in. <a href="http://www.kimmisdairyland.com/2015/06/make-hay-while-sun-shines.html" target="_blank">Hay season </a>is long gone and <a href="http://www.kimmisdairyland.com/2015/09/chopping-corn-silage.html" target="_blank">corn silage</a> has already been chopped. The summer always goes too fast.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">The tractor and grain cart (where corn and soybeans go after they are emptied from the combine) still at work long after the sun sets. </span></div>

What does all of this mean for the non-farmer just trying to get to work and go about their day? There will be more traffic on the road than usual. That requires some patience from all of us - both farmers and non-farmers alike. <a href="http://www.kimmisdairyland.com/2014/10/farm-safety-isnt-just-for-farmers.html" target="_blank">Here are some tips courtesy of a local sheriff's office for both farmers and motorists</a>.<br />

<li>Scramble 2 eggs in a small mixing bowl </li>
<li>Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the eggs and mix well</li>
<li>Add olive oil to a small frying pan and heat on stove top</li>
<li>Evenly distribute olive oil</li>
<li>When pan is hot, add the eggs and evenly distribute across the pan</li>
<li>When the omelet is more solid (not still runny), flip. If you can flip the omelet in the pan that is an option, or you can use a spatula.</li>
<li>Mix the three cheeses together and add a layer to the omelet</li>
<li>Chop bacon </li>
<li>Add a layer of bacon on top of the cheeses</li>
<li>Add more cheese</li>
<li>Flip half of the omelet on top of the cheeses and bacon</li>
<li>At this point, the eggs should be cooked. If it does not appear to be cooked (still very runny, doesn't look right, etc.), continue cooking</li>
<li>Add some cheese and bacon on top of the omelet</li>
<li>Enjoy!</li>

Fall is a busy time all around. It's a great time to enjoy family fun at the many orchards, pumpkin patches and corn mazes open for the season. Many of these destinations are also working farms. Agritourism offers a taste of farm life and a fun avenue to learn about modern agriculture. </div>

I always admired how Granny cooked. A little of this, a dash of that. She had a recipe, but she didn't really follow it. After all, she had been cooking for so long that she knew exactly what a recipe needed without the cookbook. In some ways, I modeled my cooking style after hers. If you have been following me and my recipes for a while you know there is a lot of flexibility in most of them. I rarely use exact amounts. More of a ballpark estimate. I love this since everyone has different tastes and preferences and this style allows for everyone to get what they want.<br />

Meals were at specific times. Breakfast around 8 a.m., lunch at noon on the dot, and dinner at 5:30 or 6 p.m. Having a schedule made it easier for Grandpa to know when to head to the house. Now, most things on a farm don't go according to schedule. Grandpa always knew when to stop the tractor and leave the hay field though. Family meal time was a priority and is one of my best memories with them outside of the barn.<br />

I have a fabulous dessert option this week; Desserts Required's <a href="http://www.dessertsrequired.com/apple-cheesecake-with-cinnamon-shortbread-cookie-crust" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Apple Cheesecake with Cinnamon Shortbread Cookies</a>. The combination of baked apples and cream cheese work beautifully on the cookie crust. Say hello to Autumn! </div>
