Bone Broth Everyday is the Healthiest Thing You Can Do For Yourself #healing from #trauma #abuse #lorijeanfinnilinthekitchen

I know with all my joint pain from injuries keeping them lubricated is essential not to cause further ailments to my body from being too fragile because of them. Along with that I have head injuries from abuse I have to worry about where I can have shakes/seizures to keep down and out of me. Bone broth helps there as well, with more natural fat from the meats for me. Tight on a budget and possibly afraid of the natural fat try using bones saved from your meals saved in the freezer to make your own broth. Not only does it taste better than the store bought but it's better for you with no chemicals, preservatives, or the small amounts of bacteria and bugs the FDA allows during processing in your body. You're not strong now perhaps, your body doesn't need this. A healthy body is a healthy mind. Keep it strong whether you're running from abuse, have been abused, or are in it at this present moment.

There's many things you can do with the broth. Cooking the bones on simmer for two hours with rosemary and bay leaves, some salt and pepper to taste, brings a wonderful flavor to your dishes. It's universal using those spices and healthy for you. If you have even half a cup a day of the broth or something you made with it you're doing your body a favor. I've actually kept my numbers in place with my illnesses this way.

Pea soup is what I made today. I didn't have much to go with it. I have my broth, I have the peas in a bag. I cut the recipe in half and used 2 1/2 cups of the bone broth to 1 cup of dried peas, where I only had so many bones just cooking for myself for the week. Vegan recipes online appeal to me because I can bring out the flavor in foods without using many ingredients. I can't believe I made this soup myself and it tastes great. You don't have to put all that parsley on top. I did it for the picture but that tasted good too. I only used celery seed and dried minced onion as well. Didn't have carrots or green onions. I wanted to find a way to fit a vegetable into my week without having to worry about having a lot in the house. This worked. You can make your own vegetable broth as well if you wish. I haven't tried that yet.
