Organic Veggie Stock/Broth…great tip from Amy Wells Over the course of the week accumulate your veggie scraps in a plastic bag. Keep the ends, peels (including onion peels, carrot tops, etc.) and "ugly" pieces (never moldy or bad food, of course) of any of the following veggies in the bag: carrots, celery, onions, spinach, garlic, parsnips, mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, potatoes. Fill up a colander pasta pot with water and toss the ingredients in the colander. Add a fresh clove of garlic or two, crushed; a bay leaf, several peppercorns, and any extra fresh herbs you have on hand.  Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer for 45 minutes. Allow the broth to cool.

Winter Veggies….

Beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots,

cauliflower, celery, clementine's, escarole, fennel

artichokes, kale, leeks, lemons, onions, oranges, parsnips,

potatoes, radishes, shallots, sweet potatoes, squash

Place the almonds in a small sauce pan. Pour in milk & heat on low until milk is

warm and bubbles just on the edge. Remove from heat and poor in a mug. Add

the honey, nutmeg, & cinnamon to taste. Enjoy.
