It felt good and proactive to put get our stock pot onto the stove this week and fill it with delights from our farm tucked into the freezer covered with our lovely well water.
It is true we’ve been proselytizing about bone broth for years. [Bone Broth Love; Sun Stock; New Stock Pot] It is also true that our own discipline for prioritizing mugs of bone broth as a morning or afternoon snack can wane from time to time.
But it is ALWAYS feel good to have a pot of our nutrient dense ingredients simmering towards broth on the stove – just getting it bubbling away makes me feel reassured of the coming health benefits.
As Marco Canora, chef and owner of Brodo & Hearth in New York, noted in his book about broth,
I’d begun drinking bone broth on a regular basis once I realized how much better it made me feel than the endless cups of coffee I’d been in the habit of consuming to lift me out of the afternoon doldrums.
And what better time to refocus on staying healthy than during a period of wide ranging temperature changes when folks are getting sick and with the looming possibility of a much more widespread outbreak.
So the big stainless stock pot is bubbling away with chicken bone broth that we will add to the farmstand freezer this weekend! Stock up, enjoy and toast your health!
