Recipe: Homemade Bone Broth

This week I sat and though about my health and eating habits. In the last few months I’ve made great strides in managing my portion control and carb intake. I’m very proud of the steps I’ve made to become a healthier eater!

Today I’ve decided to incorporate bone broth into my diet for a few weeks, just to try it out by eating it for breakfast. At the store I see 2 cups of bone broth going for about $7 a package and thought I can do better.

My steps are below! I hope they inspire you to make your own as well!

I bought 6 beef soup bone chucks with marrow for 7$, with carrots, onion, celery and my favorite seasonings. I roasted this at 350F for an hour then boiled all the goods for 2 hours with 10 cups of water. After straining the solids out I let the stock simmer till it reduced by 1/2. Then you have 5 cups of bone broth for under 10$! I store it frozen in giant cubes so easy portions are ready when I want them, Enjoy!

Travel: Pittsburgh,PA - Carnegie Library

Since I moved to Pittsburgh in 2015 it has been on my list to got to the Carnegie Library in Oakland! This year I made it a goal to get a Carnegie Library card and explore some of the free services they offer. I know we have great libraries in Pittsburgh but I had no idea what they offer. My friend and I took a tour of the main library in Oakland - is was a perfect way to learn about the libraries history, how to navigate it and the services and resources they have. My favorite part of the tour was learning about the history of the library, how and when it was built (1895) and how it has changed through the decades. It was also great to see all of the historic photos they have of the library and surrounding land. The photo below is of a one of the larger vaulted rooms in the library and it is said that the centers of the molding once held windows that were then covered during WW2 to not attract attention from above. The tour also took us to the room that was later added above
