Fried Egg
Eggs raised on pasture with organic grain to supplement are the healthiest. Chickens should be out on pasture to eat bugs and worms, and to soak up beautiful sunlight. This all results in orange yolks rich in vitamin D. Chickens fed grain that is not organic produce eggs that are low quality.

Heat cast iron skillet; melt 1 tsp. coconut oil & 1 tsp. bacon fat. Add pastured egg and fry. Add sea salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

Hard Boiled Eggs
Bring water to a boil. Add eggs. Cook 8-9 minutes. Once cooked, place in cold water as the eggs will be easier to shell. Season eggs with sea salt and cracked pepper. These are great on the go. Try wrapping them with anchovies, smoked salmon or prosciutto for variety.

Optional: serve with grated parmesan.

Chicken Bone Broth

Chicken Bone Broth

Chicken Bone Broth
Bone broth can be used as a base for soups, stews, & sauces throughout the week. This recipe is easy because it’s made in your crock pot. You can make a large batch and freeze some to have on hand for later use in recipes, or just for a warm nutritious drink between meals. Store it in the fridge in a half gallon glass ball jar, and use it throughout the week to make soups for lunch…just reheat it each morning and add leftover veggies, meat & sea salt and take it to work in a thermos.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 – 2 lbs. chicken bones (save bones and carcass whenever cooking a full chicken, legs or breasts. If you’re not ready to make a stock, freeze assorted bones and use when ready.)
  • Chicken neck, feet (optional)
  • Filtered water
  • 1 Tbsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1-2 onions, chopped in half or quarters, fine to leave skin on
  • 3-4 celery stalks, chopped
  • 2-3 carrots, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 Tsp peppercorns

Directions

Add all ingredients to large crockpot; use enough water to cover all chicken bones. Allow ingredients sit for a half hour before turning on crock pot. Cook for 18-24 hours. Cool, drain through a thin strainer into a bowl. Discard everything in strainer. Store bone broth in refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze for later in containers or ice cube trays. If storing in glass, make sure you leave 2-3 inches so glass doesn’t break. A mug of broth is a great way to start your day on a chilly morning; reheat on stovetop and add sea salt to taste. Or try this variation for a hearty breakfast: whisk an egg into your steaming broth, add sea salt and enjoy!
