Bone Broth
After bout upon bout of sickness with the start of the school year, a friend showed me her bone broth recipe. This is a great way to use up old chicken, pork, or beef bones (or just go buy some fresh!) that adds tons of amazing nutrients and amino acids to your diet! 10 minutes of prep, a day of your house smelling like a roast, and you have a fantastic, versatile base for soups, stews, and so much more!
Kitty Litter Cake
This kitty litter cake makes a great Halloween dessert. A new kitty litter box, box liner, and litter scoop really give the full effect!
Duck Fried Rice
This duck fried rice is how I like to use up leftovers from our favorite takeout meal of Chinese roast duck and barbecued pork. The ingredient amounts can vary depending on what leftovers you have, but fried rice dishes are very forgiving.
