Looks great – will be trying this one! Have you tried with other types of oils?

Olive oil would work too. Coconut is good, healthy fat too.
Train hard,

Hey Sandy,
Looks good, where do you get your grass fed ground beef?

Hey Chris,
I get it from two places. One is called GrassFedBalt and they deliver to Parkville at a drop off on Wednesday. I get raw milk, farm fresh eggs, cheese from them too. I also drive up to Springfield Farm in Sparks. GrassFedBalt and Springfield have exacts same price on some stuff and then wildly divergent on other and that’s why I go to both.
Train with purpose!

How big is each “bag” of spinach? My store sells organic baby spinach in bulk, so need to know how many lbs/ozs I will need. Thanks!

Jemi,
I used the the 6 oz Dole Bags…It cooks done a lot so you can pretty much use any size bag and never fear having too much as the toppings will weight the spinach down.
The best,
