Skip the Drive-Thru: Make Fast Food at Home, Without the Seed Oils

Why’s fast food so popular in the US? Simple—it’s easy, salty, crispy, and it just hits the spot when you don’t feel like cooking. And sure, we all know it’s full of stuff we probably shouldn’t be eating—but when the cravings kick in, convenience usually wins.

 

But what if you could get that same drive-thru satisfaction without the junk?

 

That’s exactly what we’ve put together: an easy, crave-worthy meal made with clean, seed-oil-free ingredients from Good Ranchers, Primal Kitchen, and Jesse & Ben’s—all cooked right at home, no drive-thru needed.

 

Feels Like A Cheat Meal—But It’s Not

 

This meal comes together in minutes—perfect for a busy weeknight, lazy Sunday, or just whenever that craving hits.

 

- Good Ranchers Seed Oil Free Chicken Nuggets: Made from whole cuts of chicken (not that weird pre-formed stuff), fully cooked and air fryer-ready. Oh, and the best part? They're 100% seed-oil-free.

 

- Jesse & Ben’s Tallow & Sea Salt Fries: Crispy, golden fries that cook up in the oven while your nuggets are in the air fryer. And they’re made with just potatoes, grass-fed beef tallow, and sea salt.

 

- Primal Kitchen Chicken Dippin’ Sauce: Made with avocado oil—this sauce is perfect for dipping nuggets, fries and more. It’s the finishing touch that pulls the whole plate together.

 

And boom—that’s fast food at home that doesn’t leave you feeling like you just ate a mistake.

 

So, What’s the Deal with Seed Oils?

 

If you’re new to the seed oil conversation, here’s the short version:

 

Seed oils—like soybean, canola, sunflower, cottonseed, grapeseed, and sesame oil—are made from the seeds of plants. They started gaining popularity a few decades ago as a cheaper alternative to saturated fats. Today, they’re everywhere—from fast food to grocery store snacks to salad dressings.

 

And while they’ve been marketed as “heart healthy,” the way these oils are made tells a different story. They’re highly processed, often full of preservatives, and loaded with omega-6 fats that can throw your body out of balance. Over time, that imbalance can lead to inflammation, low energy, and long-term health issues.

Why Seed Oil Free Matters

 

If you’ve already cut out seed oils, you probably feel the difference. If not—this meal’s a pretty great place to start.

 

Less inflammation. More energy. Fewer sketchy ingredients. And none of that heavy, sluggish feeling that comes after a greasy bag of drive-thru food.

 

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about real food made simple—and doing a little better without making it harder.  Because cravings don’t mean you have to compromise.
