Today I’m posting a beef stew recipe, even though it’s soup week, because I ended up making this more into a soup. Regardless, it tasted great and features local ingredients.
Pin ItBone Broth: Not as hard to make or as weird as it sounds

Hang around real foodies or people who know a lot about nutrition, and soon you’ll hear talk of something called “bone broth.” Sounds weird and kind of time consuming, yes? Luckily it’s neither.

Success! Sort of. I made either really thick pasta or really good dumplings. Still, I couldn’t stop eating it. Not bad for my first time making homemade pasta without a pasta roller or cutter!
