Manischewitz Beef Broth

Manischewitz Beef Broth was the first beef broth I have ever used.  I have used chicken broth in many things, but never beef. The broth added a great beefy flavor to the dish I made, and wasn’t too salty tasting.

I used my sample to make a one dish meal (I forgot to take a picture!):

1 bell pepper, slice
1 onion, cut in quarters and sliced
1 cup sliced mushrooms
3-4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
¾ lb gr meat (I use 1/3 beef, 1/3 gr turkey, and 1/3 gr pork)
1 cup uncooked rice
2 ½ cups Manischewitz Beef Broth

Sautee the vegetables in olive oil until done, set aside. Crumble the ground meat in the same pan and cook until browned. Drain off grease. Add the cooked vegetables, rice and broth to the pan and stir. Simmer on medium low heat, covered, for 25 minutes.

Manichewitz Beef Broth is all natural, kosher, has no msg and is gluten free. It comes in a 32 oz resealable box and is shelf stable for up to a year unopened. Refrigerate after opening.

Ingredients:Beef stock (water, salt, beef), yastr extract, canola oil, caramel color, evaporated cane juice sugar, vegetable concentrate (carrot, celery, and onions), natural flavorings.

Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread

Earth Balance is made by the same people who make Smart Balance, a line I was more familiar with. While I haven’t tried either of them, I have seen Smart Balance products in grocery stores. Here in the middle of no where in Alabama, I had to search around to find Earth Balance.  I did find it at the local Publix, but only the Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread Original.

The first taste of Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread Original was a spread on a slice of gluten free bread. Both FabGrandpa and I were surprised that it really did taste like butter. A lot like butter. He asked for a second slice of bread. That was a great compliment to this product.

The second taste test was in some scrambled eggs we had for breakfast. I was afraid that it  wouldn’t hold up to the heat of cooking, like some margarines I have used in the past. This product didn’t separate out and get watery in cooking, and I was happy with that. The eggs tasted just like they had been cooked in butter.


This morning, we used it on our pancakes:
Earth Balance Natural Buttery Spread Original is gluten free, lactose free, vegan, and non-GMO.  I was happy to see on their website that they also make a soy free version, as I am trying to eliminate as much soy from our diet as possible.
