Weird cooking experiments I’ve been up to.

I’ve been wanting to make and can my own broth. Unfortunately I have too many projects and too little time. However, I do cook dinner every day. Some of the dinner prep parts are wasted. Some main parts of dinner are wasted on certain household members as well.IMG_3625

I love making soup with our old hens, or mean roosters. They make some delicious soup. My husband has never been much a fan of soup broth and usually a lot of it is wasted. It’s broth though. Healthy broth as I make my soup with mushrooms and vegetables. So I canned it. Well I put it in jars and froze it, but I’m still considering it canning.

Oh, I filtered it before putting it in the jars.

I also made chicken enchiladas. You boil the chicken and then shred it, throwing out the broth. Well usually I do but not this time. The freezer is loaded with frozen broth that would normally get trashed.

Tastes great in meals so far. Better than store bought for sure!

Not a lot gets wasted at our house. We have the big dogs and the birds and now the pigs. Chocolate is officially our only food waste product. Yay!
