Bone Broth: YES! Or Yuck!
Platings & Pairings

Bone Broth is a type of stock that is produced by boiling bones and other flavors. Bone Broth is simmered for long periods, in hope that vitamins, proteins, and gelatin from the collagen-rich joints release minerals and healing agents.

Your grandparents most likely cooked Bone Broth. Where do you think the thought of eating chicken noodle soup when you are ill came from? You can't possibly think the sodium-filled, gluten, hormone filled, canned chicken noodle soup is good for you? :)

Special emphasis on the preparation of the whole animal including using bones for making broths is well known across the globe. Both Broths are extraordinary rich in protein and can be a great source of minerals. All of these healing agents are great for our bodies. Some think these agents are worth the gross factor. The Glycine that is released from the animal bones support digestion and the secretion of gastric acids. The bones also contain Proline, which supports good skin health. Bone Broths also contain Gelatin which is great for skin and digestive health. This can play a huge role in autoimmune diseases and digestive disorders.

In my personal experience, Bone Broth has healed leaky gut syndrome that is caused by Celiac Disease. Bone Broth is also great for:

  • Overcoming food intolerances and allergies
  • Improving joint health
  • Reducing cellulite
  • Boosting immune system

Multiple studies have shown how Bone Broth is great for restoring the gut lining and fighting food sensitives (such as wheat, dairy, etc.), also aiding in the growth of probiotics and good bacteria in the gut! Another great factor of this healing agent is it supports healthy inflammation levels in the digestive tract! Bone Broth is easily digested and soothing for the tummy.

If making Bone Broth homemade, it is super economical! I would recommend ensuring the bones are from local farms that place an importance on the animals being grass-fed and hormone-free. Some local food stores like Dierbergs even sell bone broth pre-made and is a great easy option for illness! Bone Broth can be stored in the fridge for no longer than a week. You can also freeze in the freezer and keep it up to 6 months. It is advised that Bone Broth only be warmed up on the stove top, as putting it in the microwave could risk killing the healing agents that are alive and help keep you well! The simmering of the bones and ligaments allow healing compounds to release like collagen, proline, glycine, and glutamine that have the power to heal and transform your body.

Store bought stock and broth are not real. They are lab-produced meat flavors in bouillon cubes, soups, and sauces. Manufacturers also began to use MSG as a meat flavor but is actually a neurotoxin. So next time you go to use a fake meat flavor, consider Bone Broth which also happens to be packed with healing components! Bone Broth also contains potassium and glycine, which supports both cellular and liver detoxification, so no more green tea detox scams!

What do you think? Gross, No way! YES, Totally Worth it!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
