Not only is homemade chicken stock good for you, it tastes wonderful. We make it around here and before I have a chance to make a wonderful soup it is gone. We use it for everything, when we cook rice, when we steam veggies like kale and carrots, and our personal favorite, when we make gravy and have chicken and potatoes and gravy. Just Delish! Thanks

I love a good homemade stock (my brother is a chicken farmer!), but I had to take a break when I was diagnosed with fluoroderma, or acne caused by fluoride ingestion. Chicken skin and bones have high amounts of fluoride that dissolve into the stock. Who would have guessed that my delicious homemade chicken stock was causing my face to break out! If the chickens are fed organic feed it shouldn’t be a problem, though. Thanks for sharing your lovely pictures.

Well, you’re in good company, Shirley. I never thought of it either. Had to be told. Story of my life. I do cool stuff but it never occurs to me, I have to be told, and usually shown.

Gee, I never even thought of making stock in the slow cooker. Great idea. I grow my own herbs too and love cooking with them. I just brought some of mine indoors so I can have a little herb garden this winter.

Yay for you! I loved growing my own herbs. We’ve only lived in this house for a year, so when spring came around hubby gave me choice between putting in a garden and getting dental insurance – well duh – with 5 kids and at least 2 needing braces it was a no brainer. But I’ve been dutifully saving my pennies, and plotting and planning for next spring. I don’t think he knows what he gotten into by giving me a whole year to think about it!
BTW – your bread looks delicious!

Hi Anonymous (Cyndi), We actually have two, shorter growing seasons, unless we have a mild Summer (ha!). And my herbs were done last month too. But the rain. Ugh! I think it would be way better if there was a mist that would rise from the ground in the mornings, wait, that was Paradise, huh? I guess I have to take the cursed weather the way it comes.

Yummm! Fresh, homegrown herbs are the best. That is one nice thing about Texas over Michigan…. longer growing season. My herbs were done last month.
