The Five Biggest Bone Broth Mistakes You Might Be Making
Bone broth is always wildly popular through the winter in real food circles. It’s an awesome, nutrient-dense food full of wonderful gelatin and minerals. If you learn how to make bone broth right, you can pull many minerals out of the bones. The bones will soften and easily snap under a little pressure. That’s a sure sign that mineral migration into your bone broth has happened.
Bone broth is a ‘found food’ for many people. That means it can be made out of scraps instead of purchased ingredients, making it highly economical when money is tight. But I often see new real foodies not maximizing the nutritional punch and spending too much money on stock making. Here are the five biggest mistakes you might be making with your bone broth.
Desserts- Nut Butter Cups
This is a big hit here, and is my go-to recipe for a filling snack without a lot of carbs. This recipe is from my Menu Mailer. These need to stay refrigerated or frozen, but they do great on the go or in a lunch box with an ice pack or in winter. Kids like the mini cups best as they don’t melt before they can eat it all. I did both mini and regular sized cups and kept the layers fairly thin. A regular muffin cup-size makes a great size for an adult’s afternoon snack. These are only slightly sweet, if your family likes sweet things you’ll need to increase the honey or stevia or combine the two.

Crock-Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup
There are a few soups that I have made consistently in my eleven years of marriage because my husband, and now both kids, really love them. This is one of those soups. Don’t skip the lime juice over the top, that is what makes this dish.
Anaheim chilies are abundant this time of year. If you don’t wish to use canned chilies, buy plenty, roast and peel if desired, then saute them until tender and freeze them in ice cube trays. You can then pop out two or three cubes for each recipe you have calling for a can of chopped green chilies.
