BONE BROTH (BEEF)

3-4 lb Beef bones

3 whole Carrots, cut in half (or 15 baby)

4 whole Celery, ribs

1 Onion, sliced in half

2 tsp smashed Garlic (or 3-4 cloves)

2 Bay Leaf

1 tsp Himalayan Pink Salt

1 Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Preheat your oven to bake at 420 degrees.

Place the beef bones in a glass baking sheet, and sprinkle with salt if desired.

Roast the bones for 30 minutes, flip them to their other side, and then roast for another 20 minutes.

While the bones are roasting, prepare the vegetables for the broth.

Place the roasted bones into your Instant Pot, and then add the carrot, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaf, salt, and apple cider vinegar.

Fill the Instant Pot with filtered water until it reaches about an inch below the max fill line.

Place the lid on, and seal, and set to manual high pressure for 75 minutes.

Once the broth is finished, remove the large bones and vegetable pieces, and then strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer.

Pour the strained broth back into the Instant Pot, if using immediately after for soup, or allow to cool and freeze for future use.

Notes

This recipe makes 10 cups of broth. When using beef marrow bones, it's best to allow the broth to cool slightly, so that you can scoop the excess fat off of the top before making soup.

BREAKFAST POCKETS -- NO DISHES

2 soft 9" tortillas

3.5-5 oz ham slices (or bacon or sausage)

1/2 - 2/3 cups grated cheese

2 eggs

Optional veggies (spinach, peppers, onions, mushrooms, etc.)

Preheat oven to 350F

Place 2 pieces of foil on a work surface and spray with oil.

Place tortilla on foil. Place ham in the middle of the tortilla, making sure you arrange it so it is flat, not a mound (harder to keep egg in place). Even better, create a shallow crater shape using off ham cuts and shavings.

Place cheese in the middle of the ham, leaving a well and reserving a little bit for later.  Add veggies if using.

Working quickly (one pocket at a time), crack an egg into the well, pop the yolk, sprinkle with reserved cheese.

Fold the bottom and top edges in, then the left and right side to form a package. Then wrap in foil. DO NOT TURN UPSIDE DOWN!!! (Egg will leak).

          ***if you like scrambled eggs better than whole egg, just scramble it first.

Place on baking tray.

Bake for 25 minutes.

Unwrap immediately (otherwise will sweat and lose crispiness). Serve hot!

RICE PUDDING 3 WAYS

STOVE TOP

5 1/2 c. whole milk, divided

1/2 c. packed light brown sugar

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 c. Jasmine rice

1 tbsp. butter

2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Ground cinnamon, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine 5 cups milk, sugar, and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.

When milk is boiling, add rice and reduce to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick and rice is tender, 45 to 50 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in butter, vanilla, and remaining ½ cup milk. Serve hot or chill in refrigerator and serve cold, with a sprinkle of cinnamon.

INSTANT POT

1 cup of Arborio rice (the same rice used for risotto) (can use long grain or Jasmine as well)

1 1/2 cups of water

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1 bay leaf

2 cups whole or 2% milk, divided into 1 1/2 cups and 1/2 cup

½ to ¾ cup of sugar, to taste

2 eggs

1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon (plus more for topping)

1/8 tsp of ground nutmeg

1 tsp of vanilla bean paste or extract

2 tbsp of maple syrup

2 TBL butter (optional)

Instructions

Add the rice, water, salt and bay leaf (in that order) to the Instant Pot. Stir together. Secure the lid, hit “Manual” or “Pressure Cook” High Pressure for 3 minutes. When done, perform a 10 minute natural release followed by a quick release.

While the rice is cooking, mix the eggs and 1/2 cup milk together until well combined.  Set aside

After you remove the lid, discard the bay leaf and add in the other 1.5 cups of milk, the sugar nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla extract and maple syrup.  Stir while deglazing (scraping) the bottom of the pot to ensure no rice is stuck to it and mixed well.

Now, taking a fine mesh strainer and pour the egg/milk mix to catch the excess gooey parts & chunks of the egg that will compromise this amazing rice pudding’s texture. As soon as you pour in the egg mixture, hit the “Keep Warm/Cancel” button and then hit “Sauté” and Adjust so you’re on the “More” or “High” setting.

Stir everything in the pot constantly for about a good 3-5 minutes. As you do this, everything will gradually begin to thicken. Check intermittently for bubbling and then continue to stir – remember, dairy likes to stick to stainless steel pots! Once it begins to REALLY begin to bubble and boil, turn the pot off and remove the inner pot and set on a burn-resistant surface (like a cutting board) immediately.

Add butter if using and stir together.

Let the pot cool, cover with a lid and pop in the fridge for a good 2-3 hours so that the rice pudding becomes nice and chilled (you can eat it warm too).

Pudding will thicken in the fridge.  When ready to serve, if too thick, thin out with liquide (ideas below) and top with toppings (ideas below).
