Bone Broth, (aka liquid gold) continues to grow in popularity as a nutrient packed super food. We are happy to see more and more people realizing the benefits of adding a cup of bone broth to their daily routine. For years we at US Wellness Meats have known the magical qualities bone broth contains; and we have worked with customers, expert chefs, doctors and nutritionists to create several types of this healthy elixir.
We are proud to offer three sizes of beef bone broth, two of which restocked this week. Our expanded line of broths, stocks, and gelatins includes the thicker, richer version of beef broth, beef gelatin as well as duck stock, chicken stock (on sale this week) and chicken gelatin.
If you would like to learn more visit our Bones and Broth Pinterest Board where you can find recipes, storage suggestions and handy tips from professional and home chefs.

| Athlete's Corner - Scott Mendelson Q&A |
|
Scott~ We need to lose a lot of body fat built up over the holidays before our trip to Hawaii in March. When we got to the gym some areas are so crowded that we just figure out what to do on the fly. Do you have suggestions for a better training approach? Diet suggestions? Grant and Sharon.
Grant~ Failing to plan is planning to fail in regards to training. The 24 HD training system
surges fat burning hormones and is perfect for a busy gym. A giant set which includes rotating between 4 exercises are all done with an adjustable incline bench and dumbbells.
This arrangement prevents people from jumping on your equipment and keeps the rest between sets very short which contributes to a big increase of fat burning hormones. You can earn great progress with 3 or 4 sessions per week that last 45 minutes or less.

"Wonderful and grills in just 3 minutes!"
"I use a George Forman grill. I simply season both sides of the meat with a steak seasoning blend and then put it in the grill for 3 or 3 1/2 minutes. Wow...amazing, simple, tasty, quick and easy. Ordering ten more of these right now!"

Author: Mel Joulwan
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cooks: 2-3 hours
Serves: 6-8
Whole30 compliant
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 medium onions, diced (about 2 cups)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 4 teaspoons)
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) fire-roasted, chopped tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth or beef broth
- 1 cup water
Directions:
- Heat a large, deep pot over medium-high heat, then add the coconut oil. When the oil is melted, add onions, stir with a wooden spoon and cook until they're translucent, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and as soon as it's fragrant, about 30 seconds, crumble the ground meat into the pan with your hands, mixing with the wooden spoon to combine. Continue to cook the meat, stirring often, until it's no longer pink.
- In a small bowl, crush the oregano between your palms to release its flavor, then add the chili powder, cumin, cocoa, allspice, and salt. Combine with a fork, then add to the pot, stirring like you mean it. Add tomato paste and stir until combined, about 2 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes with their juice, beef broth, and water to the pot. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat so the chili enjoys a gentle simmer. Simmer uncovered for at least two hours. Do not skimp on the simmer! Serve in deep bowls with big spoons.
Variations:
- Try a meat combo by mixing ground beef with ground turkey, pork, or bison.
- Make a double batch and freeze half so you have chili-on-demand.
- Top with sliced olives, diced onions, and/or avocado slices.
- In a Slow Cooker: I haven't made Chocolate Chili in a slow cooker myself because I don't love stew-y things cooked in the slow cooker. But if the slow cooker is your thing, see here's the way one reader adapted this recipe for their crockpot. Proceed at your own risk; I haven't tested this version myself.
Slow Cooker Variation:
- Sauté onions in fat in a cast iron or nonstick skillet, followed by the garlic; place in the crock pot insert.
- Put 2 pounds ground beef in the skillet (without cleaning it out) and sauté until just no longer pink. Place that (and the juices) in the crock pot.
- Add all the spices briefly to the hot skillet to bloom the flavors, then add the tomato paste;stir to combine and cook about 1 minute. Add the beef broth and stir to combine. Transfer to the crock pot.
- Add the chopped tomatoes to the crock pot; do not add the water listed in the recipe. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Note: I also heard from another reader who said she just "plopped" everything into the slow cooker and let it do its thing. My recommendation is use the step-by-step method, but if you're not fussy about texture or you're in a hurry, I suppose you could try the "plop"technique.
