Roasted Chicken and Broth

1 Empire Kosher Whole Chicken
4 spray free carrots
1 spray free onion
pink Himalayan salt

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place entire chicken, cut up onion & carrots into Dutch oven. Add enough water to cover chicken ¾ of the way. Sprinkle with pink Himalayan salt. Cover and bake in oven for 4-5 hours basting every hour until chicken is falling off the bone.

Take chicken and strain veggies out from broth. Strain broth using large mesh strainer. Pour broth into smaller containers and freeze once cooled.

Cut chicken into smaller portions and freeze.

You can then use the broth as a base for soups or mix with dried out bread chunks to make stuffing.

Tomato Meat Sauce

Spray free tomatoes
Grass fed, water washed ground beef
Penzy’s Basil
Penzy’s Oregano
Pink Himalayan salt
C&H sugar

Wash tomatoes, place in boiling water for 3 minutes.
Remove from heat and rinse with cold water. Peel then cut into chunks. Remove seeds if possible.
Cook over low heat for approximately an hour.
Puree using food processor then strain to remove seeds.
Place back over low heat and add spices, taste and add more as needed. Continue to cook for approximately 2 hours, do not allow to boil. If you don’t have time to cook that long it’s ok; it just tastes better the longer you can let it simmer.
In the meantime, brown ground beef in a saute pan over medium heat. Add to sauce once fully cooked.

Gummies

1 1/2c fruit or vegetable juice
4 TBSP Great Lakes plain gelatin
2-4 TBSP C&H Sugar

Pour juice into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the gelatin over the top and let sit for a few minutes until it gets wrinkly and all of the white powder is absorbed.
Once absorbed, whisk to combine.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and let the liquid warm, but not boil. You are looking for the liquid to become smooth and not thick or grainy.
Whisk in the sugar and any additional ingredients.
Pour into loaf pan or fun molds and place in fridge for 2-3 hours.

Brownies

2 c Daisy flour
½ c Wilderness Family cocoa powder
1 ½ tsp Karlin’s baking soda
1 tsp pink Himalayan salt
½ c Jovial olive oil
2 c C&H sugar
2 c zucchini shredded (1-2 small zucchini)
3-5 TBSP water from fridge door

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking pan with foil and brush with Jovial olive oil.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer, mix together the oil and sugar until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients.
Fold in the zucchini. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes so the batter can absorb the moisture from the zucchini. Then if your mixture is still powdery, add up to 5 TBSP water (start with 1 & work up as needed). The batter should be thick, not powdery. Do not add too much water.
Spread in prepared pan.
Bake 25-30 minutes until brownies spring back when gently touched.
