Here she is watching, waiting, and hoping while I prep the bones for the cooking.
If you want to learn more about the benefits, you can read this post here, or if you'd like to make some yourself (so you, too, can torture your dog during the long, slow cooking process!), here's the recipe I've been using.
Have you heard of the bone broth craze? Are you a bone broth fan like Rita is?
Thanks to Blogpaws for hosting Wordless Wednesday!
I have never heard of this! Very interesting and I know Bentley would be a drool pool!
ReplyDeleteIt is very drool-inducing!
DeleteYES! and Woofs to Rita :-) Golden Woofs
ReplyDeleteYou like bone broth too, Sugar! Woofs back from Rita!
DeleteI have heard if it. I think it would take me a week to simmer it though since I am never home long enough....lol.
ReplyDeleteYou could try it in a crock pot - then you could just leave it to simmer while you're out! (But you have to boil it first... if you're home long enough!)
DeleteNever heard of it, but we are tortured all the time by what Mom is doing in the kitchen, so unfair.
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen is definitely a place of torture!
DeleteHi Y'all!
ReplyDeleteMy Human makes somethin' she calls "stock" with bones she trims out of meat or fish heads and lots of fresh veggies. She puts it in the ice box and uses it when she cooks. Of course she puts some of the broth over my supper!
Y'all come on by,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Yeah - exactly - it's really just "stock" - but old fashioned, home-made stock, not like the stocks and broths they sell in the store now. It's yummy over your supper, isn't it, Hawk?!
DeleteWe sympathise with you Rita, we really do.
ReplyDeleteCruel, huh?
DeleteThat's new for me, I will have to go have a look.
ReplyDeleteIt's really basically stock like grandma's use to make! You can make it with turkey, chicken, beef, whatever bones.
DeleteWhen we saw the name of your blog, we just had to drop in; even though, we are a household of kitties. Mom says she's never heard of bone broth. We'd probably like it, though. If you have time drop by and see us at The Cat on My Head. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calistsa Jo
ReplyDeleteYes, I bet you kitties would like it! Sounds like you have a full house! Thanks for stopping by! I'll come over and say hi!
DeleteWe've never heard of this-will have to look into it! Happy WW!
ReplyDeleteNow you'll probably see it everywhere!
DeleteThat's new to us but mom says its not for now. Thanks for sharing! Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Dolly!
DeleteAwe waiting so ... patiently lol
ReplyDeletelol, yes... so very very.... patiently.
DeleteYour right. Once it hits the television it does become a "craze" LOL I honestly didn't know much about broth until I received a sample from THK. Harley seems to enjoy it - especially on the days when its really cold and we've been outside for a while. He sucks it up with his kibble. Thanks for sharing your recipe will definitely make a batch....
ReplyDeleteI make a separate soup for Rita in the crockpot (just w/ organic meat, root veg and green veg) that goes over her dry food. She LOVES it! At first the hubs was annoyed I'd make special soup for her but not for him, so now I'm making separate batches for both of them!
DeleteThis was a staple of my grandmother's cooking. What is old will always be new again or something like that.
ReplyDeleteYep, just like grandma used to make!
DeleteI just heard about it the other day. Did she get some broth?
ReplyDeleteShe did indeed! Daddy always shares a little bit!
DeleteWe always made broth for human cooking with bones. Crock pot works great if you can't be home.
ReplyDeleteThe recipe I have says you really need to boil it first, so you can make it in the crockpot, but need to start it on the stovetop, boil it, skim off the 'scum' (gross), and then put it in the crockpot. (Although I have a fancy-schmancy crockpot that has a regular cooking option on it, so I could probably get it to boil in there, and then switch it over to crockpot-mode.)
DeleteOh yes....isn't bone broth high in glucosamine and chondroitin? No matter to me...I'm with Rita! It's just delicious!
ReplyDeleteOz
Yes it is! (on both counts - high in glucosamine/chondroitin AND delicious for pups!) Our acupuncturist turned us on to it. She said there's a real movement of folks realizing they can get things from food they used to think they had to take supplements for.
DeleteI remember someone mentioning this to me sometime last year. I may have to look into it. I love torturing...er...cooking for Blueberry, so this sounds like a fun and beneficial thing to do!
ReplyDeleteYes, and it's something you can both share!
DeleteI have heard of this from several sources including Dr.Mercola. I haven't tried it because I feel overwhelmed with all the "good stuff" we are supposed to be doing for ourselves/pets. At some point, I just have to say enough is enough. Has the hubs been drinking it long enough to have any feedback?
ReplyDeleteUgh, I hear you on the keeping up with all the good stuff we're supposed to be doing! It's just not possible to do it all! But the hubs guilt-sucked me into this cuz I was already making soup for the dog! :) Anyway, no - it's only been a few weeks, so too soon to know if there are going to be real results. He has serious bone issues (osteopenia) so we won't really know anything until his next scan, which probably won't be for ages cuz he had one recently.
DeleteI have heard of the bone broth (I get Dr. Mercola's newsletters) but haven't tried it yet. I'm overwhelmed with trying to find grass fed, organic meats (do you do that?) It does sound like it could be very beneficial, and I'm sure the dogs would be excited if I tried it and shared!
ReplyDeleteJan, Wag 'n Woof Pets
Yes, we try to do the grass fed, organic stuff. But it's not always easy to find, so I go with what I can find. I heard that had the grassfed bones at Sprouts (a local healthfood store chain here) so I went today, but it just seemed to be regular ol' bones. Still, I bought some lamb bones to try something different.
DeleteInteresting, we've never heard about it but thanks for sharing!! Looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteThe hubs and Rita sure love it!
DeleteNever knew there was such a craze. A little sharing does go a long way though lol
ReplyDeleteRtia's big on sharing! :) At least she always wants us to share with her....
DeleteI've heard of it, but never really looked into it too much. The fluffies would go nuts!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure they'd be big fans, like Rita is! (BIG being the key word in their case!)
DeleteWell, I am a chicken addict myself. I manage to make myself look irresistibly gorgeous just as she is serving up!! Never fails!! :)
ReplyDeleteI've made it with leftover chicken bones too - Rita's a huge fan of that one! And she does the same - make herself look super cute and i can't resist!
DeleteI'm so behind the times, I don't know nothing about bone broth.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a result of the "paleo" diet thing. (Although I wouldn't know - cuz we don't do the paleo diet. Or any diet for that matter. We just eat pretty much everything.)
DeleteI just learned about this "craze" the other day - from a blogger who makes it for herself and for her pups. I'm certain our dogs would go crazy for it!
ReplyDeleteI'm really making it for the hubs, but he shares with the pup. :)
DeleteNever heard of it,,,but we here are big on "if it works,,,keep doing it" ! Hope that it works wonders for your hubby .
ReplyDeleteWe live by those words too. Too soon to know if it's working yet. Hopefully!
DeleteHmmm...interesting. With three dogs who have and/or had leg/joint issues, this might be a something to think about investigating further.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, yeah, maybe it would help them out!
DeleteI hadn't heard of it - I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteMonty and Harlow
I'm sure the pups would appreciate it if you checked it out! :)
DeleteSounds nummy! I know cooked bones are supposed to be a no-no, but the broth looks like it could be for me! PAPAAAA! I WANT BONE BROTH!!! *wags* - Gilligan from WagsAhoy.com
ReplyDeleteYes, the bones have to go in the trash once you're done! Hope you can talk your pop into making you some!
DeleteI've never heard of it, but it would be extremely popular here, I am certain!
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah - your crew would love it, I'm sure!
Deletehello pooch smooches its dennis the vizsla dog hay bone soop??? i am up for sum of that!!! ok bye
ReplyDeleteYou could fill that hot tub with it instead of your meal worm soup! Tell your dad to get on it!
DeleteWe've been making bone broth for a while, and the dogs love it!
ReplyDeleteYou probably helped start the craze, you trend setters!
DeleteIve never heard of this interesting
ReplyDeleteretro rover
Now you'll probably see it everywhere!
