Make Stock!

Make stock is easy enough to say, but what really goes into making it? Some leftover bones, a few veggies, some peppercorns and an herb or two and you are on your way. Even easier, a vegetable stock. Just skip the bones. There's so many ways. Building up from a good stock can make some delicious dishes. Soups, gravy's you name it... it's better made with stock. Now you can take the easy way out and buy it at the store, I like the organic stocks. But if you've got the ingredients and some left over bones or some veggies you need to use hanging around, it is so worth the effort. When it comes to making stock the basics are the same such as roasting the bones which is optional but adds a nice flavor, always start with cold water, simmer don't boil for at least 4 hours, veggies for flavoring, peppercorns are a must and some fresh herbs a plus. Most importantly, do not add salt. You can add the salt you need when using the stock to cook.
