Make Chicken Bone Broth Bone Meal with me
I would replace your electric outlets in that location with GFCI. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) can help prevent electrocution, electric shocks and burns. With little kids around, then I'd also secure the tools better so they can't get loose or fall down. -- If using a chainsaw, then really should have protection pants & definitely eye protection, ear protection, boots & keep your kids away. I know that may seem like overkill, but may save your life. Personally I think it is penny wise & pound foolish to do yourself vs hire people to use chainsaws to take out trees. I've heard of too many horror stories! At least a pole saw is farther away & might be a better option for limbs. Good luck!
Great to see a garden from the start. The boys look like that are a great help. Good luck. James Pat & Cooper
You introduced me to wool diapers covers and my life is forever changed!!!! Thank you so much for this video.
@@leandraainlove aww I’m so glad!! Thank you for your comment ☺️
Bumby wool diaper covers can be machine washed! Other interlock wool covers can be machine washed as well! ❤️
So excited for you! I can’t wait to hear about how you start your composting. Thanks for taking us along on your adventure!
I brown marrow bones in the over (3). Then I combine with cows feet (generally 2 or 3 pieces) , add the veggies. Pressure cook on high for 2 hours. The cows feet contain plenty of collagen. I can reuse them at least 3 times', also I put about a tablespoon of turmeric powder in at the start. I drink my bone broth.
Just want to add that they make single, double, and triple layer wool covers. If you are looking for trimmer wool covers, maybe try a single layer wool cover. Good video! Also, I love flats and you can use flats with every system. I use my flats with covers and pocket diaper's, but flats and prefolds are def my favorite for ease of washing and drying. Just want to add that alot of us that use a spray bottle, spray the baby lol not the wipe. I also love to use leg warmers for my little in cloth, no other way lol. Really nice cloth diaper video!
Natural Fibers make a world of a difference! So glad you're having a great experience with cloth!
Where is your denim carrier from?
It is from Sakura Bloom!
I have a very similar setup of Sloomb and Grovia hybrid covers, which we use with fitteds. I also like and use the cotton Grovia hybrid inserts, which work well for us. But many days there's a fitted in there instead of the intended hybrid snap-in insert. We've used them over three years and two kids and it's been awesome. I never tried out any other brands or styles. I'm pregnant with my third baby right now and it is so tempting to try out more products, but I never let myself because a) $$$ and b) I feel like I have already found the "holy grail" cloth diapering system ha.
I feel you on that! At this point I’ve done my investing and no more shopping. Or I will start to defeat the purpose of saving on cloth diapers! Lol Making due with what we have. They are coming out with new stuff all the time but those good ol flats are a tried and true. Congrats on your third baby!! 🩷
Hello! I am pregnant with my first and have dove full in trying this method. I want to thrift wool covers and since I crochet learn to make my own. I would love to see a video on the folds you use! What do you use to secure the flats? Pax Christi!
Hi! I filmed the video but life got absolutely crazy and it won’t be uploaded any time soon. So I will send you to a video that’s like how I do it. Congratulations on your baby! 💕 I use the “snappi” things to secure. But you can also use pins. Link to video: th-cam.com/video/AwAcJaH4KPI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WlrpwlGYwHioQFgN
@@therooteddietitian Thank you so much for this- so helpful!! I hope you get some peace soon :)
I crochet our wool covers and pants. Its easier than you'd think. And super cheap. A newborn cover costs me about 3 dollars in yarn and a toddler cover costs anywhere from 10 to 15. Pants are 6 -20. WAY cheaper. Hang drying pul is great advice. I have 7 year old covers that I'm still using on my 4th child.
That is amazing! Thanks for sharing the cost, so helpful for others to see how cheaply it can be done!! I wish I could crochet
I have a question..I hope you see this soon. The baked bones @ the 10:03 time stamp, what kind of bones are they? What part of the cow?
I believe they are just referred to as “soup bones” but they look a lot like shank cuts which normally has one small piece of bone like this with some marrow
A tip for bulky nappy bums! I just bought a three pack of organic cotton onesie extenders. Work great! They have snaps and literally just add another 5-7cm to the bottom of clothes.
Great point and idea to add! I briefly looked into ordering some and then got really overwhelmed by options and reviews 🤣 can you share which brand has worked for you?
I live in Europe so I am not sure if you'll be able to get the ones I did but they are from avo+cado :) worked great for me. the 3 extenders have 3 different snap sizes so they fit on pretty much any brand :)@@therooteddietitian
I live in Europe, the brand I bought are from avo+cado. 3 different extenders with different snaps sizes so they fit on many different brands. :)@@therooteddietitian
still proliferating plastic with those snappis and I cant imagine they're good for diapers long term, whereas I've had flats wear slap out from use and washing over 2 years but never had them wear from pins.
Good to know your experience, thank you!
I love this video! Currently 38wks pregnant with my second baby and crocheting wool covers for going over flats! I love that you simply use flats and covers, it’s so minimal and fuss free, I’ve switched from using a pocket Nappy system with my first and the difference I’m seeing in his skin (especially becuase he moves so much in his sleep) is INCREDIBLE! If I can put on a flat Nappy onto a one and a half year old in the dark at 3am I’m very confident that it’ll work for a newborn! Ps, now I’m binge watching your videos lol! Right up my tallow lovin’ alley 🥰☺️ God bless you and I’m excited to see what you have to offer! I’m here even if it’s just for a monthly video 😊
How sweet you are making your own covers! I love that!! I wish I could crochet. I had similar experiences with pockets too, those thick bulky inserts get so nasty over time. I’m so happy with my simple system! Thank you so much for that encouragement 🩷☺️
And also, congrats on your second baby! 🩷
That's so cool! Are you winging the covers or are you following a pattern? Would love to crochet some for baby two as well 😊
I've crocheted woolies for all 3 of my sons. So worth it! Way cheaper and you can tailor them to the baby. You are diapering your baby and making precious keep sakes. 💕
nice overview! I was looking for “natural fiber cloth diaper” and came across your videos. we totally agree! the only thing I would add is that we use the disana covers at night since they’re so bulky, in the day we use the Puppi wool covers and they’re AMAZING. they’re super trim compared to the knit wool covers and generally fit under all of his clothes, although we live in Hawai’i so we often don’t wear clothes other than a onesie. we tried some crappy microfiber cloth diapers and my baby would get SO rashy. that’s what made us switch to wool and cotton and I could never look back. wool seems intimidating but it’s easy to keep up with once you know what you’re doing. now I just have to practice my flat folding because we used prefolds for my sons first size. I like the versatility of flats but dang getting that leg seal on a wiggly baby is a challenge 😅
I will have to look into the Puppi ones!! Sounds amazing for a trim will option. Yes, rashes and we had issues with the microfiber pads stinking bad too. Yes a decent leg seal is a little tricky Compared to other options! Keep testing out folds and figuring out what works for you! I’ll try to make a video on how I like to fold soon. Thanks for adding your comment 🩷☺️
@@therooteddietitian Puppi makes a good product but disanas are all weather.
Bowyn, this is such a sweet and informative video! Thank you so much for sharing! I wish I had some of this information when our little was born. We went with disposables (and still are, she's 16 months old), we just had to many other life things on our plate when she was born and felt so very overwhelmed reading about the tons of methods/types of cloth diapers out there. Would you say that cloth diapering is easier/harder or what changes to expect as the kiddo gets older vs newborn? It feels to late to make the switch now but its crossed my mind since we spend close to $80 a month on disposables! Appreciate you taking the time to make this video, and congrats on the sweet addition to your family!
Thank you so much! I am glad it was helpful. I wouldn't say more challenging per say, just different challenges because of the situation! knocking solids off takes an extra step and urine starts to get a stronger smell. At this age you can use them in conjunction with potty training AND they aren't going to the bathroom constantly! Around two we started catching some poos in the potty which made diapering easier. When my toddler was older, we moved towards summo style folding. You may have to experiment with different folds to see what you like. As he got closer to being potty trained we used the thick underwear (they have a little bit of absorbancy in there) with a wool cover. Bc accidents happen of course! Then used basic underwear and a wool cover when occasional accidents were still happening. This way he was getting used to pulling things on and off himself.AND learning that peeing makes you wet. (i think feeling wet is harder with disposables) Toddlers start to use the bathroom less frequently than a baby-- so let's say you just want to try it out, I think getting a pack of 6 or even a dozen, and one wool cover to try it out with would give you a good idea. You may have to wash every day but this gives you a chance to see if you can make it work. Worst case- you hate it and you have some on hand for emergencies if you can't get disposables. Green Mountain diaper has great options! The thing with these flat diapers is... there's so many ways to use them, I feel like you can't go wrong with a minor upfront investment. You may have to add extra absorbancy or try a different style of folding or cover, but you have options. if you made the investment in a wool cover to try out and you don't like it for diapering, you could totally use it just as an extra barrier when you transition to underwear. Even cloth diapering part-time can cut costs. I hope that helps and takes some overwhelm out. And thanks for the kind comment. :)
I have re-uploaded this video so it does not cut off. Link: th-cam.com/video/ezO3gON5KCI/w-d-xo.html
Is that the end of the video???
It is not supposed to be. I'm sorry, I've been trying for three days to re-upload the complete video. Having difficulties. Trying again today
Can you re-use the bones or are they done since they soaked in the ACV water?
They get pretty mushy and soft. You may be able to, but normally after one batch I then make bone meal for my garden out of them. I have a video on how to do that :)
Are these more gummy or jello like?
Hello they are more like jello. Difficult to get that chewy texture with just beef gelatin
Hi ,wow,amazing you wrote the book,where can l have a look at it?
Thank you!! Sorry I forgot to put the link. Here it is: therooteddietitian.com/shopwithstripe/ I only have physical copies available right now for ship in US!
Glad to see you back ❤
Thank you!! We’ll see if I can stick it ♥️
Do those melt outside the refrigerator?
If it was very warm they likely would, but not at room temperature
Look into azure standard. They sell non GMO, mostly organic foods at amazing prices. Your best deals are of course better in buying bulk, but they‘ll sell small quantities too. They deliver around the country monthly. Also, a small family business worth supporting.
I love azure! I order every month from them ❤️
Very interesting and helpful; thanks!
I forgot to ask this last night: is drinking the broth as is after it cools bad for your health? Does it contain too much bad fat? Every example I see involves cooling, refrigerating and then removing the fat which is, I think, unfortunate because it involves another step. As a dietician, your take on this is probably the healthiest way to go. Many thanks.
@@seizethedayandlivehi! I’m sorry I’m seeing your comment a year later. Here is my response: It would not be bad to drink it right away. We do that as well. Beef fat is a good mix of monounsaturated and saturated fats. And the fat can be a good source of vitamins if the animal was pasture raised. The reason that I skim it off is more for texture, all the fat can make a recipe taste and feel “oily”. And if I am going to can the broth, I really prefer that the fat is removed. 😊
@@therooteddietitian Thank you!
Great ,you posted again! Same here,whole day in the kitchen, good to know l am not the only one!🤗
You are definitely not alone!! 🤣 it has been nonstop, really busy since summer canning started!’
Thank you for sharing - I love your videos!
Thanks so much for the encouragement!!
Do the bones need to be completely thawed before roasting?
Not necessarily; the goal is to get them slightly browned and not cooked when roasting. I don’t think it would impact it much, other than taking more time to cook perhaps. I would avoid frozen solid bones tho! Then when you do the broth making process they will undergo complete cooking and therefore be safe for eating.
Have you tried to convert beef bones into bone meal? Chicken bones are easy as you describe. Beef bones are another issue entirely. I wonder about a significant amount of vinegar in water and process in the IP?
I have attempted beef bones with no success, they are just too large and dense for the equipment I have. I don’t think it would impact the process, I have always used about 1-2Tbs without issue.
I just got 24 oz canning jars at Ace because everywhere else was out of them. Did you know that pesticides are not used in the cultivation of vanilla beans? When I read that I kicked myself for searching high and low and paying a fortune for organic vanilla beans/extract.
I did not know that! That is great to know, thank you!!!
@@therooteddietitian Also, 1Tahitian vanilla bean = 2 Madagascar vanilla beans in strength. I found that out in Rose Levy Something's ice cream book. I am looking to replace Ben & Jerry's with homemade ice cream. It seems that everything in the world uses emulsifiers and I have recently been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. I know Strauss has ice cream without emulsifiers, but they are not DELICIOUS. If I can make my own bread, my own yogurt, my kefir...et cetera, I can make my own delicious ice cream. It's hard to find heavy cream that does not use emulsifiers but Alexandre Family Farms' does not.
@@charmingfrock101 such good info, thank you!! Emulsifiers are in so many items. I am glad you are finding items that work for you, I know it can be a challenge.
Great video you’re absolutely amazing. Can you possibly do more in store videos? You should probably stock up on more water that wouldn’t be a bad idea
Hi thank you! I usually can’t do in store videos bc I normally have my little one with me and it gets to be too much. But I’ll keep it in mind! I am working on building up our water storage, water has been on my mind! Thanks again! ☺️

Love the every bit challenge,here in Australia it's almost spring ,so rather the hungry gap😁 challenge. I have a lot of greens though which l enjoy before the heat comes and l can't grow the anymore...but summer brings the tomatoes and other heat lovers! Loved your video, I need to plant Tulsi ,it makes such a nice tea
So interesting to hear what season y’all are in!! Summer is winding down and we are really close to cooler temps. Yes! Absolutely start some tulsi! It is my favorite tea right now! ☺️ it went through the entire Texas summer 3 digit temps and drought. It seems to do well in the heat. I did water it every day tho!
@@therooteddietitian That's great to hear about the Tulsi,yes , it's hot here up to 49 degree Celsius,not sure what it is in Fahrenheit... But the good side is ,l can get ideas what to plant by watching garden from the northern hemisphere.Your okra looks really good too!
Tomato is the easiest to start from seed. Put them in a pot with a light covering and water.
This is so encouraging! I will try it for next spring
@@therooteddietitian Start early. I tend to sow in January (zone 5b) for ripe tomatoes in July. Sometimes, I take a slice from a fresh tomato and put it on the soil in a pot and every seed sprouts. But I prefer seeds I saved from heritage tomatoes the year before. But tomatoes and peppers are the easiest seeds to get going.
@@GimmeADream ok thank you for the tips!! I will just give it a shot. Seed starting indoors has always intimidated me, but I have to start somewhere.

Hey Bowan! I have a question 🙋♀️ I really struggle to open the salmon cans with my regular can opener. Any tips or do you struggle to open those cans. They are slightly different than regular cans. Thanks!
Hey! Depending on what brand you get, sometimes you have to turn them upside to open them! The Aldi ones are like this- open it on the side that is larger even if it means opening it upside down. It’s a little wonky! But if I do that, I have no problems. Hope that helps 😊
I’ve used insecticidal soap on my okra ants in the past, but that’s a great idea to sprinkle diatomaceous earth.
And your garden looks amazing!
Oh I’ve heard of that! I need to keep some on hand just in case, I’ve never used it. The DE seems to work overall, they come back a little bit so I have to reapply often. I keep a 5 pound supply of DE- so many uses! Thank you for the comment and encouragement on my garden! 😊
Super helpful, thank you so much!!
Congrats on building up your homemade canning pantry! I fermented pickles for the first time last year and get so proud of myself. Unfortunately I used too much garlic and they are really strong! 😆 But it definitely feels so awesome to preserve your own food. Also, I love the thrift store too! God is good and always provides.
