Chicken Broth

I got my ideas for making chicken broth from here.

I am excited to have this broth waiting in the freezer for my next soup.


Here's how it's done.

Place in a medium to large pot:
leftover roasted whole chicken bones
carrots and/or celery
onion pieces
garlic
Salt
Seasonings (thyme, bay leaf, whole peppercorns, etc)
Water (cover all ingredients and 1-2 inches above)


Boil for about 1 hour and then drain the broth out into containers and use for all sorts of recipes!

Approx 6 cups of broth

Pollo Asado

My husband has a new favorite meal, pollo asado. Luckily for me, I have a favorite store, Sprouts, that sells marinated chicken "pollo asado" style and it is very decently priced. I get enough for the 2 of us (about 1.5 lbs) for about $5 and it is worth it.

Sometimes I like making everything from scratch, and sometimes I don't. This is a great meal for one of those "don't" days.

Wassail - Warm Drink

Wassail is a hot, nutritious drink with an aroma and flavor that fills the house and soul. This is my very favorite Christmas-time drink.

For a group of 15-20 people, slowly heat on stove top or crock pot: 64 ounces apple juice 64 ounces orange juice (fresh squeezed is amazing) 3-4 cinnamon sticks (to taste) 1/2 tsp ground cloves
Heat over the stove until perfectly steamy. Store any leftovers in the fridge and reheat on the stove top or in the microwave.
This drink makes a great pair with Snickerdoodle cookies.

A definite favorite for all who have enjoyed them.

2 eggs

Add:
2 ¾ CUPS flour
2 TEASPOONS cream of tarter
1 TEASPOON baking soda
