Turkey Bone Broth

Do you use your Turkey carcass after your Thanksgiving dinner?  Sometimes my mom makes soup with it, but usually we just end up stripping the meat off and discarding the bones.  This year I decided to try making bone broth!

Bone Broth is rich in minerals that support the immune system and contains healing compounds like collagen, glutamine, and glycine. The collagen in bone broth heals your gut lining and reduces intestinal inflammation.

It was pretty simple to make, but it does take TIME ... and it can make your house smell too, especially if you boil it in a pot instead of using the crockpot method I used.


Ingredients:
* Turkey carcass, mostly stripped of meat
* Water, enough to cover the bones completely
* Onion, cut into large chucks
* Celery, halved sticks
* Carrots, halved sticks
* 1/4-1/2c apple cider vinegar
* Salt and Pepper

Instructions:
* Put all ingredients into the crockpot and turn crockpot on HIGH.
* Cook 24-48 hours, resetting the crockpot as necessary
* Strain broth through tight mesh or cheese cloth

NOTE: Bone broth may be consumed by itself or used to make soups, steam veggies, etc.

Law School Loan PAID IN FULL



Law School Loans ... PAID IN FULL!!!

Earlier this week I received a letter in the mail from Chapman telling me my student loans were completely paid off and returning my original promissory note!


While I didn't have a HUGE amount of student loan debt in comparison to my law school classmates (thank you scholarships!) the regular loan payments were still hefty to say the least ... several hundred to a thousand dollars a month.

Even working full time as a attorney it was hard to make the payments and I had to drop into the lowest repayment bracket, meaning basically all I was paying was the interest, if that. I would pay and pay and just see the number I owed go UP!

When I started coaching, I didn't make a whole lot, but I made enough to make a partial payment, and then after a few months I was able to cover the WHOLE payment, and then I was able to pay even more than the required amount to FINALLY start paying down the principle.

For 2 years, I paid my student loan debt exclusively with my coaching income. Because of a HUGE gift from my parents and grandparents, I was able to pay off a good chunk of the principle, but one loan remained ... this one.

This year I paid the minimum payments on this loan with my coaching income, then I saved the rest and completely paid it off in October!!

PAID IN FULL. ✔✔✔

It is such a weight off my back to be completely 100% debt free!! Do you have debt that you could pay off with a supplemental income?

Make fitness your business and lift that weight off your back!
