This new family pack includes the ingredients needed to create a wonderful Beef Broth along with the recipe.   For more information about what is in the Country Kitchen Family Pack, look under -Products – Beef.

Many studies now confirm what Grandma always knew—that broth made from bones is a great remedy, a tonic for the sick, a strengthener for athletes, a digestive aid, a healing elixir. And unlike bitter medicines, broth can be incorporated into delicious soups, stews and sauces. In fact, broth is the basis of all gourmet cuisines. “Without broth,” said Escoffier, “one can do nothing.”

Having Beef Broth on hand is essential in any Country Kitchen.

The substitute for broth is MSG, which food manufacturers use to achieve the taste of meat in canned and dehydrated soups and in imitation sauces. MSG is toxic to the nervous system but broth—rich in calcium—is protective. One of the most important things you can do to improve your health is to use real broth and avoid imitation foods.

Here’s how I squeeze 5 meals for a family of 3 out of one roast:

• Day 1 Supper: Oven roasted beef, lamb, pork, or what ever meat you have.
• Day 2 Lunch: Quesadillas, with cheese, diced roast meat, and any veggies you like.
• Day 2 Supper: Grind up some meat in your food processor with taco spices, and you have delicious taco meat. Roll up in a wrap with some fresh veggies, cheese, sour cream and salsa.
• Day 3 Lunch: Quesadillas, again. (Okay, a little repetition here, but my son will eat anything in a quesadilla, so I tend to make them a lot.)
• Day 3 Supper: Root vegetable soup with diced roast meat.

Best reviews on mom's roast beef quesadillas!

5 meals from one large roast! You can’t beat that for cost saving, and not too repetitive if you ask me. You can always dice up the cooked meat and throw it in the freezer to have on hand for making a quick meal on another day.

Happy cooking!

SEA BUCKTHORN JUICE

This years’ crop of Sea Buckthorn berries has just been harvested & juiced! We had tons of ripe berries this year, and thanks to some “die hard” pickers, we improved our picking techniques to speed things up.

Prices for the juice are $15 for a 16 oz bottle, $14 if you buy 10 or more. New this year: Frozen berries, great for baking, smoothies, jamming, etc. $16.50 for a 2 lb bag. (Both juice and berries sold frozen.)
