A Delicious Way to Save Money and the Planet
Hey friends, Chef E here! Let’s talk about something I love: good food that does good things. In times when every dollar counts, it feels pretty incredible to make choices that save money, nourish your family, and support the planet—all at once.
That’s the beauty of leaning into nutrient-rich cuts like wings, drumsticks, ground beef, and sausage—what I like to call the unsung heroes of the kitchen.
Here’s the thing most people don’t realize: for every chicken breast sold, there’s a pile of wings and legs left behind. Our food system favors convenience over sustainability, but when you embrace the whole animal—just like our grandparents did—you help bring balance back to the table (and the farm).
At New Leaf Table, we’re all about this mindset. We build our recipes around intentional, regeneratively-sourced ingredients—not just because they’re sustainable, but because they’re delicious and deeply nourishing. Cuts like chicken drumsticks or bone-in wings aren’t second-tier—they’re flavor bombs just waiting to shine. And they stretch your dollar without compromising on nutrition.
By saying yes to these wholesome, traditional cuts, you:
Support regenerative farming that heals soil and honors animals
Rediscover old-school flavors that slow down your cooking and lift your spirit
Give your family deeply nourishing meals that truly fuel the body
At New Leaf Table we make the most of these humble cuts—roasting, slow cooking, and broth-making included. (And yes, they come with one-click grocery delivery via Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh!)
So grab those wings. Braise those drumsticks. Celebrate ground beef and sausage like the treasures they are. Because when you cook this way, you’re not just feeding your people—you’re reshaping our food future.
With a whole lot of love and chicken wings,
Chef E
