Mother + Batch-Cook Specialist

Carnivore since 2022 · Minneapolis, Minnesota · 6 posts

Lisa is a mother of three boys (ages 7, 10, 13) and an obsessive batch cook who feeds her family from a 2-hour Sunday prep block. She covers meal-prep content here — bone broth, pulled pork, liver bites, egg cups, anything that survives 4 days in the fridge. Family-wide carnivore since 2022 after her oldest son's eczema cleared up in three weeks.
