It’s starting to warm up in the land of enchantment but storm systems are still moving along the eastern coast and are making for some intense wind. Winter is out with a vengeance. While we are having wind here, and even some rain recently – our temperatures are warming up. Winter isn’t my favorite season, I mean essentially after New Years it’s just a time that’s…
If there’s one thing I love about New Mexico – it’s green chile. Specifically, in enchiladas. Even though you can really put that in practically anything- at least we do. I’ll literally eat straight green chile cheese enchiladas while traveling within the state just to try them all out because there are no two made alike, but I can make mom’s version of Green Chile Chicken…
I’ve always loved chocolate cream pies. They are arguably my favorite dessert. Seriously, other than macaroni they are they only thing I’m worried about being present during holiday dinners (I’m not much for turkey). This has been a (mild) obsession since I was small. So today I decided to make mini chocolate cream pies.
We all know that if we don’t change something our lives a little each day that on New Years Eve we’re going to be sitting in the exact same boat as we are now. I want to be kinder in 2017. Me saying I want to be kinder isn’t going to do the trick, but me making an effort and being intentional in changing my habits…
It’s the start of a brand new year, and many have made resolutions. But, about two and a half weeks into 2017 statistically many will have given up on them. Just like that. It can start in small ways of neglecting part of the exercises you’re working through to attain your goal, or it can come suddenly. But whatever the reason, it still happens. However, if…
There’s been a large amount of discussion surrounding TPP and how it will influence trade between the United States and other countries. Yet, still many don’t understand what this piece of legislation is other than a fun acronym our presidential candidates have been throwing out occasionally. It can be difficult to keep up with what this agreement entails and this is why I’ve chosen to blog…
There’s a lot discussion these days about animal welfare in the United States. An infographic below will answer most questions you may have!
My name’s Lauren Schlothauer. I’m currently a senior majoring in agricultural communications and minoring in journalism and livestock production at New Mexico State University. When I’m not watching bad nineties movies or eating copious amounts of green Chile I enjoy advocating for agriculture. Or, agvocating, as others may call it. Really it’s just sharing your own story about how food gets from gate to plate. With…
I’m very excited to say that I’m getting married! My boyfriend (now fiancé) of five years popped the question and in a little under just eleven months we’ll be tying the knot. Now as thrilled as I am to be engaged, I was was also looking forward to asking my bridesmaids to be a part of our special day. So I chose to make Bridesmaid Boxes!
Dear Farmer, I love what you do, but we need to talk. I know that you work long hours and do grueling hard work. I know that you tend to crops or care for animals. Perhaps even both. I know that you get to experience the joy of life and the finality of death which both are sobering – even after you’ve given it everything you…
Hi, it's nice to meet you! My name's Lauren. Lover of bad 90's movies, green chile and proud Furbaby Momma.
