Hi everyone!
Thanks for the support the other day, I really needed it! I have bone broth and also the chicken that went in to make the broth so I can make other stuff with that.
My bone broth was made from celery top and bottom (save the middle for other stuff), a couple of onions cut in half, several carrots, 2 quarters of chicken, pepper. Bring to a boil and then simmer for at least 6 hours.
The biggest thing I am surprised about is the natural salt flavor w/o adding any. It is so good and filling.
I also made coconut fat bombs, which were a pain in the neck to make, but I decided it was worth it. I have a Fat Bomb cookbook. It takes a bit to collect the ingredients and then I had to buy a fairly cheap food processor (Hamilton Beach from WalMart) to grind up the ingredients. I have a Ninja but that wasn't made for that (tried it), tried my mini-chopper (not powerful enough). It really is an expensive item to make b/c that coconut oil, vanilla powder, swerve, etc really isn't cheap. But it is a good "candy" type snack when you are dying for something and it has the good fats and kills your hunger.
I would like to start doing more on the weekends physically. That's why I tried to do those aerobics but I don't think I can hack it right now with these knees and ankle. So I am going to make an effort to do the hiking again.
I hope everyone has a great day!

Missed your post the other day. Glad you seem to be pulling out of the funk. Doing something productive and positive (making the coconut fat bombs) is a good way to not lose sight of the good we are doing in our own lives. Keep pushing and fighting. Good luck.

Hi Shelly, I am feeling like "Soup King" myself. Funny, reading your post makes me hungry. Well, maybe I should figure out what to do with this day. You have a good one, and stay strong with the diet, dear.

I had homemade bone broth today, too:) I added a little chicken meat, and some kelp noodles. It satisfies me very well until supper time.
I made some low-carb pumpkin fudge/fat bombs last week; didn't care for them to eat, but love one in my coffee!

celery is often used to salt processed foods so that is why you are getting a nice flavor from your bone broth.

It's high in potassium too. Good stuff. (and good stuffed - with almond butter)
