Crawfish Broth

It’s crawfish season! Spring may just be my favorite season. It’s when winter starts to fade and my garden starts to bloom. It’s also the start of crawfish season which I couldn’t be more excited about. Last night, my husband and I went to our favorite seafood restaurant for dinner and I was delighted to hear that they had fresh boiled crawfish on the menu as a special. We ordered 1 pound as a starter and I immediately regretted not ordering more as an entrée. ..which is why we’re going back tonight.

Pho Sure!

What the pho?! The proper pronunciation of this popular Vietnamese soup is "fuh", not "foe".

I think pho has to be my ultimate favorite soup. I just came back from a month in Vietnam where I motorbiked the entire country and tasted pho from Saigon all the way to Hanoi. My favorite was found streetside not far outside Saigon en route to Mui Ne. The spices used in that one in particular had me licking up the very last drop, literally.

"Bone Broth Will Resurrect The Dead" -South American Proverb.

There's a reason why your grandmother made you chicken soup when you were ill. The truth is traditionally prepared soups really do boost your immune system and make you feel better. When I say "traditionally prepared" I'm referring to a time before bullion cubes existed where bones were used to make the base of soups. The benefits of bone broth are extensive; with it's high concentration of protein, collagen, glycine and minerals. These nutrients aid in digestion, joint health, detoxification and mineral intake.
