  • Quick Bone Broth Recipe for Travelers

    Quick Bone Broth Recipe for Travelers

    Ingredients

    Chicken: 1 organic or antibiotic-free chicken (about 1.5 kg / 3.3 lbs), cut into 4 pieces

    Salt: 1 tablespoon Celtic sea salt (or to taste)

    Vinegar: 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

    Vegetables: 2 carrots, roughly chopped; 2 onions, quartered; 1 celeriac (celery root), roughly chopped; 1 leek, roughly chopped

    Optional: 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped; 2-3 garlic cloves, peeled

    Herbs: 2 bay leaves

    Water: Enough boiled or filtered water to fill the pot (approximately 3-4 liters / 12-16 cups)

    Optional Extras: Olive oil or butter for roasting the chicken and vegetables

    Quick Bone Broth Recipe for Travelers

    Traveling while maintaining a healthy diet can be a challenge, especially on longer trips where good nutrition is essential for staying energized. For me and my two-year-old son, nutritious soups like bone broth are a must-have, even when we’ve run out of our trusted Babs Bone Broth. But how do you ensure quality ingredients when you’re not at home?

    Cooking in a Vacation Home

    It’s difficult to prepare meals in a hotel kitchen, but an apartment or a cottage with a kitchen provides the perfect solution. Forget about trying to make the perfect gelatin-rich broth—too time-consuming and often impractical when it comes to finding the right ingredients. Instead, focus on a simpler version.

    Quick and Easy: Your Guide to Delicious Bone Broth

    1. Prepare the Chicken: Use an organic or antibiotic-free chicken, as it’s easier to find than the right beef bones. Cut the chicken into four pieces. This chicken will provide a rich base for your broth. You can later use the meat in the soup or for a fresh salad.
    2. Cut the Vegetables: Don’t have access to organic vegetables? No worries! Wash regular vegetables thoroughly with baking soda to clean them. This ensures a cleaner and healthier broth.
    3. Roast the Ingredients: Place the chicken and vegetables on a baking sheet and roast them briefly in the oven at 180°C (350°F). This intensifies the flavors and adds extra depth to your broth. Additionally, roasting is more hygienic. No oven? No problem! Simply sauté the ingredients briefly in a pan with a bit of butter or olive oil to achieve a similar flavor boost.
    4. Combine Everything in a Pot: Place the roasted chicken and vegetables in a large pot and fill it with boiled or filtered water. Make sure everything is well submerged.
    5. Choose the Right Salt: Add a tablespoon of Celtic sea salt. A good broth starts with good salt, so be sure to avoid imitations.
    6. Add Vinegar: A splash of apple cider vinegar helps release nutrients from the bones, making the broth more nutritious.
    7. Flavor with Bay Leaves: Add a few bay leaves for extra depth and flavor in your broth.
    8. Let It Simmer: Let everything simmer gently for 2 to 3 hours. And voilà! You have a delicious, nutritious broth.

    With these steps, you’ll have a nourishing bone broth during your travels, perfect as a base for soups or simply as a warming drink. This way, you can stay healthy and comfortable on the go.n comfortabel onderweg.

    A New Twist on Squash and Pumpkin Cakes and Breads

    You’re going to love my delicious recipe and how easy it is to prepare! Instead of using smashed, cooked pumpkin, I decided to have a go at using grated raw pumpkin to save a little time. This turned out to be a pumpkin bread cooking revelation. Shredded squash creates a lovely texture. The cake ends up being wonderfully moist on the inside and the subtle sweetness of the raw butternut squash pairs well with both savory and sweet toppings.

    I love my squash cake topped with a dollop of cocos yogurt and cherry jam. You can also experiment with other toppings like whipped nut butter and raw honey, or creamy mascarpone with a sprinkle of nutmeg.

    Healthy, Whole Food Ingredients – What’s in Your Cake?

    Butternut squash – The bright orange members of the squash family are excellent sources of carotenoid antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, making them perfect for fighting inflammation. Inflammation is associated with a number of age-related diseases, from arthritis to dementia.

    These tasty root veggies are also rich in vitamin A for healthy, beautiful skin, as well as immune-boosting vitamin C. They pack a punch with cell-protecting vitamin E and energy-sustaining B vitamins, as well as key minerals like magnesium and manganese. Butternut squash (1 cup cubed), also contains more potassium than a banana! Potassium is one of the most important nutrients for managing and preventing high blood pressure.

    Pecans – These delicious nuts are one of the top 15 foods that you can eat when looking for a high antioxidant diet, according to the USDA. They are extremely good sources of vitamin E, which is known to protect cells from damage and help support your neurological health.

    Eggs – One of the best sources of protein, eggs are rich in vitamins, minerals and amino acids to keep your immune system strong and to promote repair on a cellular level.

    Crust

    2 cups (300 g) almonds or walnuts

    2 cups (300 g) dates, pitted

    Filling

    4 cups (600 g) raw cashews, soaked and rinsed well*

    Cottage Cheese Cheesecake

    I think that everyone has a weakness for something sweet, preferably a treat that is incredibly rich and loaded with sugar! We all know that indulging in sugary treats is not a healthy choice, but we do it anyway and then we feel guilty, as if we know we let our body down.

    There is, of course, a way to enjoy your favorite dessert without sacrificing your health and loading up on empty calories. That’s the incredible power of food; you can satisfy all your cravings and nourish your body with nutritious, whole foods that taste amazing. You just have to be creative.

    My biggest weakness is cheesecake – one that is so divinely creamy and softly sweet it is like eating a slice of heaven. My love for cheesecake is rooted in my childhood. My grandmom used to make the best in the world. One of my most cherished memories from when I was a little girl is eating her freshly made cheesecake and listening to her funny stories.

    On my eternal quest to craft healthier (and tastier!) versions of food that we can enjoy guilt-free, I have found a delectable recipe for cheesecake that is almost as good as the one my grandmom used to make.

    Magnificently Healthy Cheesecake, Times Two

    Hint: to make a cheesecake that is good for you, skip the cream cheese! This recipe is centered around cottage cheese, one of the healthiest dairy products on the planet. Cottage cheese is an excellent source of protein. It supplies your body with B-complex vitamins, as well as vitamins A and D, and is known for reducing the risk of breast cancer and improving weight loss. It is also rich in important minerals including calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, zinc, and selenium, all of which play vital roles in the body.

    Instructions

    1. In a food processor, blend together the almonds or walnuts and dates until a dough is formed
    2. Spread the dough evenly on the bottom of a 9-inch (24 cm) springform pan
    3. Clean the food processor and place all of the filling ingredients in, mix until well blended
    4. Pour the filling mixture over the crust, cover, and place the cheesecake in the freezer
    5. Freeze for at least 3 hours
    6. Defrost the cake in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving

    *To quick soak raw cashews: Add cashews to a pot and cover with 1/2 inch of water. Bring to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the cashews to soak for 1 hour. Drain, rinse with cold water, and they are ready for use.

    Extras

    • You can add 2/3 cup (75 g) of raw cocoa powder, and you’ll have a fantastically delicious healthy chocolate cheesecake
    • Sprinkle shredded coconut or almond flakes on the top before serving
    • Smear your favorite sugar-free marmalade or jam (I love cherry or blackcurrant)
