Between starting orthodontic treatment in December (which creates some eating difficulties for a while) and breaking my collarbone from slipping on ice in a ski parking lot in late December, I needed to make adjustments in how I fed my family and myself for a few weeks while my dominant arm was confined in a sling, as I am the primary cook in the family and it's clumsy eating with my non-dominant hand/arm only. <br /><br />Soup to the rescue - easy to make, freeze, and reheat, easy to eat. I had lots of marrow and meaty bones, and other broth making bits already in the freezer so homemade bone broth in the Crockpot was a snap (and the minerals from the bones leach into the broth, providing excellent and highly absorbable bone-repairing minerals and collagen for my recuperation. <br /><br />Our CSA box was providing lots of celery and carrots, so my husband chopped those up in large amounts for freezing in zip bags. I bought pre-diced onions when my onion supply ran out. I steamed beets and my 6th grader peeled and pureed them. Spices, herbs, and our CSA produce allowed for a range of flavors and textures. I included braised and ground meats as well a sausages to make the soups complete meals.Againstthegrainnoreply@blogger.com
