Perpetual Stock or Broth

stock

What about keeping up the routine of making stock constantly, so it is always available? You know how that goes. Fill the pot with bones and water and vinegar. Simmer, strain, store, use. Wash the pot and start all over again. Practically daily. It could be simpler. It could be easier. Let me introduce you to perpetual stock. With perpetual stock, you hardly feel like you’re working at all. With perpetual stock, the stockpot is always on, always ready. You don’t have to store the stock, you don’t have to wash the pot daily, you’re not always messing with it. Here’s how.

Warming Beef and Cabbage Soup

We’re down to the last of our yearly grass-fed beef. All the ground beef is gone — long gone — so I’m finding ways to cook the odds and ends in the freezer: stew meat, tri-tip, some gorgeous grass-fed steaks, and various roasts. Necessity is the mother of invention, they say, and I would agree. I’ve had a fun time learning and getting better at cooking grass-fed meat. In this post, I share the warming and flavorful beef and cabbage soup we enjoyed last night.

Healing Homemade Broths and Stocks

Did you tuck a turkey carcass into the freezer after Thanksgiving? Time to get it out! Today, Roxanne from The Holistic Mama shares her easy crock pot (or stockpot) broth method. Plus, she’ll totally win you over to the health benefits of making homemade broth and stock. My method for stock, taught on video in Fundamentals eCourse, differs only slightly, and mainly in how I flavor my stock with ginger.

Summer Garden Beef Soup

Our nights are refreshingly cool, yet the garden is still producing. This is perfect weather for warming harvest soups. At least I think so! Make use of your crockpot to cook beef until tender, then combine with flavorful and colorful summer vegetables. I have been serving grain-free almond bread on the side.

Red Meat Winter Stew + Giveaway

I created this stew the very first day we ate goat. It is a keeper in our family. The little bit of mint hearkens to my Middle Eastern upbringing. Oh, and you do not have to use goat! Use whatever red meat you have, wild or otherwise: lamb, beef, buffalo, venison, elk. This post also contains a giveaway for the “Simple Food {for winter}” eBook.

Gluten-Free Bible Cooking

When I discovered the website Cooking with the Bible, it sparked my old interest in Biblical culture. Especially since learning about traditional food preparation methods, I loved the idea that I could create authentic meals eaten in Bible times!

Corn & Mushroom Chowder

I’ve had chowder on my mind, with its creamy, peppery broth; chunks of tender potatoes; and other delectable, chewy morsels. Recently, I felt I needed to introduce my children to this creamy, heart-warming dish — not to mention treat my husband!

Carrot Soup

Momma’s turn for the special plate! On Mother’s Day evening, the four of us enjoyed a delicious bowl of Carrot Soup and thick slices of homemade sourdough bread spread with a little love. What a tasty treat! And to minimize my time in the kitchen on my special day, I prepared this soup the day before the celebration. For those of you with farmer’s markets stocked, this soup is the perfect place to savor your locally gown carrots, onions, and tomatoes. Enjoy the taste of summer!

Basic Sprouted Bean Chili

Because the pinto beans in this chili are sprouted prior to cooking, they digest as vegetables. That’s a good thing for people who are watching their carbs. Rest assured, those who normally shun sprouts won’t know the difference. ;) The beans become part of the soup when barely sprouted and they don’t taste any different. This is my general recipe for making sprouted bean chili. This isn’t a spicy chili, so if you use my suggestions, you’ll end up with a mild chili that everyone will like.
