Homemade Bone Broth

Bone Broth.jpg

Bone broth made with bones from grass-fed cows is one of the most nutrient dense foods you can consume.  It's a great source of collagen which is great for your skin and joints.  We make and drink this regularly in our house and it's super easy to do with a slow cooker or pressure cooker with a slow cooker setting.  It's also a great stock for broth based soups and any recipes that require stock.  We use these silicon ice cube trays to store the broth in the freezer for easy access.
