Bone broth! Yes, I know, we' re going to talk about bone broth…again! But, there is a reason you are seeing bone broth all over, it is a majorly nutrient dense item to add to your daily diet.

Bone broth is FULL of minerals that we are sorely lacking in our diets today and they are easily absorbable minerals for those of us that have gut issues.

Broth, when properly prepared also contains gelatin, which is great for our hair, skin, connective tissues and stomach lining.

I recently had a hair mineral test analysis and found I am lacking in some major minerals. This isn't a huge surprise as I know I have been missing some pieces in my journey in healing from my Hashimoto's.

My nutritionist recommends that I get as much bone broth into my diet as I could. I love soup, I don't even mind drinking a cup of bone broth, but let me tell you, after a few weeks, I was kind of tired of it.

I decided to play with some recipes where I could use bone broth and wouldn't be considered soup. It's been fun and challenging at the same time. But, I have worked up enough recipes, like my gluten free chicken lo mein, that I am easily getting broth into me and my family three times a day.

More than 40 recipes that use bone broth (and not one of them is soup!)

Now, I'm on a mission to not only nourish my body this winter, I want to share with others just how easy it is to get a few cups of broth in a day. (Even when you are tired of soup!)

I have found over 40 recipes that amazingly fit in some broth that you will simply love. You will no longer struggle to get that broth in, but you will be totally excited to use it. It feels awesome when you can feed your family and yourself a highly nutrient dense meal that tastes good.

If you have never made bone broth before, don't panic, it is one of the easiest and most forgiving things to make. (Plus, it is very economical) You can find a great tutorial on making broth, here. You can also use an Instant Pot, which is Jessica's favorite way to make bone broth. You can learn more about the Instant Pot in her thorough review here or find them on Amazon if you are interesting in snagging one (sometimes they have some amazing deals!). Learn more about making bone broth in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker here.
