Sadie is my mother who has taught me pretty much everything she knew about making jerky. Growing up my mother made jerky all the time. The house always smelled amazing and I basically grew up constantly snacking on delicious low calorie, low fat and low carb snacks (although we had no clue at the time). I wanted to name the jerky after my mother, so I tossed names around for quite a while. Then one day a memory hit me. I remembered how my mother literally used to make us call her Slim Trim Beautiful Sadie and that she always said that the way she lost the baby weight from us kids was by eating jerky. So, It just came to me and voila! Slim Sadie’s was born. ​
