Not cosmetics related, but still skin health from the inside out. My son has eczema and that’s led me to overhaul how our family eats. One of my favorite swaps we’ve made has been adding bone broth into our weekly rotation. Not every week, but most, I make a roast chicken using this recipe and then use the bones to make bone broth from the recipe below out of the Meals Made Simple cookbook by Danielle Walker from Against All Grain. We use the bone broth in our rice or ramen instead of water. It’s yummy and nourishing; tastes good and you can feel it’s good for you.
Right now we’re doing a six month long program to try to help my son’s eczema, and doing a phase of gluten free and dairy free. The yummy roast chicken recipe calls for half a stick of melted butter, and this week I swapped it for a small scoop of ghee (not my favorite but I like it in very small amounts) and actually subbed tallow for butter. To be honest it was even better than usual. That also could be because I ordered chickens from Primal Pastures and they actually tasted different than the most “organic” health food store bought chicken I can find. It tasted just a little step closer to true real food.
Experimenting with tallow in different ways - from my cosmetics to my cooking - has been a shift for me but so far one that’s felt like an improvement and one I’d like to keep around. Have you tried tallow in cooking?
Also not related, but my favorite little flower paintings in my kitchen above where I pour my bone broth.
