Homemade Broth

This is so easy, and so much cheaper than buying gluten free broth. I keep a large ziplock bag in my freezer full of vegetable scraps and bones from chicken and things like that. When it gets full, I make broth.

Ingredients:
Assorted vegetable and/or meat scraps
Water
A bit of salt and pepper to taste (optional)

Put the vegetable/meat scraps in the biggest saucepan you have and fill with water. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for at least 5 hours. Add water if the water is disappearing. When it's done, strain out the vegetable/meat scraps, and use in recipes. You can freeze it in ice cube trays or in small ziplock bags so that you can just take small amounts out of the freezer to add to recipes when needed.

Fruit and Yogurt Smoothie

Another thing I eat for breakfast.

Ingredients:
1 banana, broken into chunks
1/2 cup of any frozen fruit
1/2 cup of yogurt
1/4 cup of water

Blend everything in a blender (I use a Magic Bullet) and enjoy!

Kale and Mushroom Omelet

This is what I've been eating for breakfast lately.

Ingredients:

Raw kale, ripped into about 1-2 inch pieces

Chopped mushrooms

Diced onion

4 egg whites or two whole eggs, beaten

1 oz cream cheese cut into small cubes

Cook the kale, mushrooms, and onion in a little bit of oil or cooking spray until the kale is wilted and the onions are starting to look clear. Spread the vegetables evenly over the bottom of the frying pan and pour in the eggs. Sprinkle the cream cheese pieces over top. Cook until the eggs are set or nearly set, then fold one half of the omelet over the other. Cook for a couple more minutes, flattening the top with the spatula so that any remaining raw egg squeezes out and cooks. Slide onto a plate and enjoy!
