Living Free in Tennessee - Nicole Sauce

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?

Today I want to talk to you about thinking ahead and why it is important to do so, but not at the expense of taking care of and living in the now. You see, we have been running at maximum capacity at Holler Roast Coffee and so have the letter carriers. Some packages are taking forever to arrive, others are there in a moment, and some might be lost forever. But as we navigate this busy time, we've been building in time to think ahead, create plan bs while handling plan as every day. So I will talk about how we are approaching that later in the show.

Today we are pleased to invite the founders of Angie's Gardens to share their small business development journey. Josh and Angie Reynolds started with permaculture, discovered herbal remedies, developed tasty and healthy teas, then added high quality CBD products to their growing business. They got started in one farmers market and now visit 6-7 per week, as well as supporting online orders. Find out more on today's show. Direct Download Angie's Gardens, headquartered in Texas, was born from the founder's love of helping others. She first learned the power of herbs when her husband suggested their daughter drink some lemon balm tea with honey to feel better from a possible oncoming cold. She drank the tea and felt better. Angela was astonished that something so simple could work so effectively and quickly that she began looking up other herbs. After reading the list of benefits of fennel, which took almost 10 minutes, she was hooked and began her studies of herbal medicine. Angie has always felt a calling to healing and this is her way of doing just that! Make it a great week! GUYS! Don't forget about the cookbook, Cook With What You Have by Nicole Sauce and Mama Sauce.

Thanksgiving is only a week away and I just grabbed a turkey out of the freezer. This year, I thought it would be fun to share some experimental recipes we plan to have at the Holler Homestead. These are a little outside the norm this year because, well, I thought it would be fun to get outside the box and save the more traditional chestnut dressing and other sides for Christmas. #HollerHatWednesday: Where is she and who is she with?
