One way I’m staying positive is making my apartment smell good with homemade chicken stock.

Have you tried making stock before?

It’s time consuming but not difficult, and a great thing to try if you’re working from home. It’s one of those things that (in my opinion) is well worth the effort.

I keep a bag of scraps in the freezer until it’s full and/or I need more stock. It’s an excellent way to make use of chicken bones, onion ends, garlic hulls, celery leaves, carrot shavings, and any other vegetable scrap you accumulate. 🥕🧄🧅

I’ll add in herbs like parsley and thyme if I have them and season with peppercorn and bay leaves. Cover with water and cook everything down for a few hours then strain out the solids and freeze.
