Each year as we look forward to the new year, something we aspire to is eating well. But eating healthily and eating clean is something we should do year round and now it is easy to do with Osso Good Bone Broths, the Please The Palate pick of the week. Bone Broth is a stock but so much more. Bone broth is made from animal bones and connective tissue that have been boiled into a broth and slowly simmered for 12 to 24 hours. Bone Broth is beneficial for a variety of health issues and is a source of protein, collagen and gelatin. The Osso Good Company was started by Meredith Cochran and two partners, Jazz Hilmer and Toran Hilmer. Originally from Wisconsin, Meredith was working in a hospital where the food was not fresh or organic when she realized that we should care about the food that we put into our bodies. After moving to San Francisco, she began studying Chinese medicine and that is when she was introduced to bone broth. In traditional Chinese medicine, bone broth is used as a digestive, as a blood builder and to strengthen the kidneys due to the high collagen content, anti-inflammatory amino acids, and healing compounds that can only be found in bones and connective tissue.

Another year, another Christmas tradition. For the past four years, I have been gathering with a group of my foodie friends on Christmas Day for our annual Jewmas Chinese food outing. "Jewmas" is a unique way to wish someone a happy holiday during the period of Christmas and Hanukkah without excluding a Christian or Jewish person. Our Jewmas Dim Sum lunch at China Red in Arcadia is the Please the Palate pick of the week. Eating at Chinese restaurants at Christmas has been a tradition for Jews for decades. But, now going out for Chinese food on Christmas has become an American tradition. The New York Times just wrote an opinion piece entitled "Nothing Is More American Than Chinese Food on Christmas" with the sub-heading, "Jewish families and others used to flock to Chinese restaurants because that was all that was open, but now it’s almost as traditional as milk and cookies for Santa." The Daily News wrote a piece about how it is the busiest day of the year for many Chinese restaurants who find it a challenge to staff for the day.
