BONE - Organic Bone Broth

Remember remember it's the 1st of November! 🎆

Are you feeling the effects of the sudden loss of light and vitamin d? It's that time of year again when people start to feel run down and exhausted 🥱

The BEST way to ensure your immune system stays strong through winter is to ensure your gut health is optimal. Did you know 70% of our immune system exists in the gut!

A great way to boost your gut health through winter is to include bone broth whenever possible. Broth is super nutrient dense, not to mention nourishing and delicious. It contains a bunch of amino acids, gelatin and collagen that heal and seal the gut. You can include bone broth into your diet in a variety of ways, for example:

• a cup of warm broth in the morning or evenings

• as a base in soups, stews or risottos

• to cook your grains in

At BONE - Organic Bone Broth we use the highest quality, organic beef and chicken bones, organic locally sourced vegetables and local spring water, to create a concentrated product that will help to heal, nourish and nurture throughout the seasons.

If you're ready to begin nourishing yourself, head to the website www.boneorganicbroth.co.uk to place either a one off order, or subscribe for monthly deliveries for 15% off.

Our broth is also stocked in the frozen section of Pennine Provisions.

Thankyou to all our customers, your support means a lot 🙌🏾

I’ve been doing a bit of journaling and reflecting after a tough couple of weeks, and two things kept coming up for me.

Joy and fun.

I need more of both.

Between parenting, living with chronic health conditions and navigating perimenopause, life can feel pretty heavy sometimes. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day, looking after everyone else and just getting through.

Somewhere along the way, I’ve let parts of myself slip away. The things I enjoy, the things that make me me. I’ve got into the habit of putting everyone else first and leaving myself whatever scraps are left.

And I don’t want to keep doing that.

I want to find my way back to the things that make me laugh, feel alive and remind me who I am beyond all the roles I hold. To make space for them without feeling guilty.

I don’t have it all figured out, but I know something needs to shift. Today, I took a little step in that direction, spending an afternoon indulging in some Gentleman Jack history Shibden Hall, followed by a cosy drink at The Shibden Mill Inn. ❤️

Sometimes it’s about giving yourself permission to spend time doing something just because you enjoy it.

What brings you joy? And when did you last make time for it? ❤️

Perimenopause can be an absolute rollercoaster. Last week, I found myself in a really dark place. My hormones felt like they were on the floor, my mental and physical health were all over the place. Overwhelm, anxiety, depression. The lot.

Despite knowing all the things that are supposed to help, I just couldn’t bring myself to do any of them.

With it being World Menopause Awareness Month, I think we need more honest conversations about just how bloody hard this can be. It’s not always hot flushes and irregular periods. Sometimes it’s the mental and emotional toll that really knocks you sideways.

Thank god these cycles shift, and the darker days don’t last forever. But it’s made me realise that I need to put some strategies in place while I’m feeling well, so I have something to lean on when things get hard again.

I’d love to know — what are your strategies for getting through the harder times? ❤️

For those local to Hebden Bridge, don't forget if you need a speedy restock of BONE - Organic Bone Broth, you can find it in the frozen section of the wonderful Pennine Provisions.

How I’m looking after myself as we move into autumn 🍂

I know this is the time of year when my body can start to struggle.

The colder temperatures. The damp. Less daylight. And my rheumatoid arthritis tends to flare as we move into autumn and winter.

So I’m thinking less about pushing through and more about what I can do now to support myself.

✨ Making more time for rest
✨ Moving towards warm, nourishing meals as the seasons change
✨ Getting outside and getting morning light in my eyes
✨ Slowing down after the energy of summer
✨ Protecting an hour before the school run rather than filling every gap with something to do
✨ Saying no when something doesn’t feel right or feels like it will take more from me than I have to give
✨ Listening to my intuition and paying attention to what my body is telling me

None of this needs to be perfect.

Some days will still be chaotic. Some days I’ll eat whatever I can find, stay up too late and forget to get outside.

It’s about creating more space to notice what I need, and making choices that support me where I can.

And actually, one of the things I love most about doing this is that my children get to see it too.

That looking after yourself isn’t something you earn once everything else is done.

That rest matters. Food matters. Being outside matters. Saying no matters.

That we can listen to our bodies and change what we’re doing when we need to.

This is what self-care looks like for me as the wheel turns into autumn. 🍂

Everyone in our house has been a bit under the weather, so this has been on repeat. 🍅

It’s one of those meals that feels like a hug in a bowl, and the best bit?

The kids actually like it.

Which, when you’re trying to get something nourishing into a poorly child, feels like a small miracle. 😂

It’s packed with good stuff too.

Bone broth brings protein, amino acids, collagen and gelatin. The tomatoes, garlic, onions and basil add vitamin C, antioxidants and a whole load of plant goodness, with olive oil and parmesan bringing healthy fats, protein and calcium.

Nothing complicated. Just proper food, made from good ingredients, that feels comforting when everyone is feeling a bit rough.

🍅 Roasted Tomato & Bone Broth Soup

Serves 4

500ml BONE Organic Broth
1 x 400g tin tomatoes
4 cups vine tomatoes, quartered
4 garlic cloves, crushed
1 onion, diced
Small bunch fresh basil leaves, chopped
3 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 handful grated parmesan per serving
A drizzle of double cream, optional

How to make it

Preheat the oven to 185°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Put the vine tomatoes on the tray with 2 of the crushed garlic cloves, 2 tbsp olive oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Gently combine and roast for around 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a large pan and gently brown the onion. Add the remaining garlic and cook for another minute.

Add the tinned tomatoes and BONE broth. Season to taste and simmer for around 10 minutes.

When the roasted tomatoes are ready, add them to the pan along with the fresh basil and blend until smooth.

Serve with grated parmesan and, if you fancy it, a little drizzle of double cream.

And my favourite bit? Dunking cheese on toast into it. Absolutely bloody delicious. 😋

I like to mark the turning of the wheel.

The autumn equinox feels like a natural moment to pause, look back at what the summer has brought us, and notice what we want to carry forwards.

And this year, that feels particularly meaningful.

We’ve recently blended two families and begun the process of becoming one.

It’s beautiful. And it’s also brought up some fears.

What will I have to give up?
Where will my own needs fit?
How do I make space for everyone else without losing myself in the process?

I’m learning that caring for other people and caring for yourself don’t have to be opposing things.

That there’s something quite beautiful about learning to meet the needs of others while staying connected to your own.

And I’ve loved deepening the connection with these beautiful children.

Watching them. Getting curious about their different ways of being. Noticing the little things beneath the behaviour. What they’re communicating. What makes them feel safe, loved, seen.

There’s so much richness in really seeing a child for who they are, rather than just trying to get them to fit into how we think they should be.

And I think that’s something I want to carry into this next season.

More noticing.
More curiosity.
More appreciation for the people right in front of me.

What are you taking with you from this summer? And what are you ready to let go of?

Your autumn elixir: bone broth. 🍂

Autumn is the time to start thinking about supporting your body through the colder months.

Shorter days. Less sunlight. More bugs going around. More demands on your immune system.

And this is where good food really matters.

Bone broth is a nutrient-dense, protein-rich food, naturally containing amino acids, collagen and gelatin. It’s an easy way to add extra nourishment to your diet when you’re tired, run down or simply need something restorative.

Think of it as an old-school health food for modern life.

A mug when you’re feeling under the weather.
A nourishing base for soup when you need a proper meal.
Something simple to have in the freezer when energy is low.

BONE is made with organic ingredients and slowly simmered for 48 hours to create a rich, highly concentrated broth.

No powders. No complicated ingredients. Just real food, made properly.

You can find BONE locally at , or order directly at www.boneorganicbroth.co.uk for local or national delivery. And if you want to make BONE part of your regular routine, you can take out a subscription and have your broth delivered regularly, with 15% off every order.

How to feel grounded when you’re overwhelmed.

We often already know what helps us feel grounded.

Good food. A walk outside. Seeing a friend. Rest. A bit of quiet.

But when life feels full, even these simple things can feel surprisingly hard to reach for.

I think part of it is that we’re so used to doing our way through things. Sorting. Organising. Solving. Keeping everyone else going.

Sometimes the way back is much simpler.

This morning I felt exhausted, anxious and overwhelmed by family stuff, health stuff, hormonal shifts and a brain in a million different places.

So I stopped.

I made a mug of warm BONE broth and sat down. No podcast. No phone. Just something warm and nourishing while I gave myself a bit of space.

Then my beautiful friend Kati Vernon shared a lovely practice of self-soothing with me: a hug, a gentle stroke and a beautiful song.

And slowly, I came back to myself.

Food, warmth, stillness, touch, nature and connection.

Simple things that remind us we’re bodies, not just brains with endless things to do.

What helps you feel grounded?
