Broth

[toodlerue 451]

Today I made Bone Broth with 3 marrow bones, 1/2 an onion, some carrots, celery, parsley, bay leaves & garlic in my crock pot.

Saved the carrots & pureed them with some of the broth for when I can have them the week after my surgery.

Placed the broth 4-8oz into breast milk collection bags (they are sturdier then regular zip-lock bags) & put everything into the freezer. I also froze some in an ice cube tray to use later when I make more puréed food.

I bough bone broth before when I had to do a liquid diet before a colonoscopy last year. It was so gross! I knew I could make it better & I did!

Toodles,

Rue

Good on you making your own. Always healthier and tastier with the real stuff. I'm really sensitive to msg (in all its many hidden forms) so I make my own chicken stock to use in Soups (and other dinners like casseroles) that are safe for me to eat without triggering headaches.

Be aware that after veggies are cooked for hours to produce stock/broth pretty much all of their flavour is drawn out into the liquid, leaving the remaining solids quite bland tasting (I just throw my spent veggies away with the bones into the green waste recycling bins here). So don't be disappointed if your blended carrots don't have a lot of taste.
