Homemade Chicken Broth

Homemade Chicken Broth?

Yep! Homemade Chicken Broth is a definite can-do DIY even for the busiest of moms. Have you found yourself eyeing the bottles of bone broth in your local natural foods store? At $6 a pop, you can quickly sink a sizeable chunk of your grocery budget into this delicious habit. Don't get me wrong, the health benefits are totally worth it! But with just a little hands-on time and a few dollars invested, you can make gallons of your own delicious and nourishing bone broth! For instance, If you have your pot bubbling on the back burner and have to run out for an our (or so), simply turn the burner off and re-start when you return home. Even better, toss the whole kit into your slow-cooker and it will basically take care of itself! 

Homemade chicken stock is not only powerful help for healthy hair, skin, nails and joints because of all the gelatin and collagen it packs in, but it’s even a natural immune booster – the old wives’ tale about it being helpful for beating colds is TRUE, especially if you leave the fat in.I’ve been making homemade chicken stock since before I was even interested in real food at all because it’s something my mom always did (yay, mom!!) and it’s a habit I’ll never ever drop. Since my first post explaining how to make it, I’ve picked up some new tips and tricks along the way, and I realized I wanted a “one stop shop” resource with all the information in one place.
