Fare Exchange: Comfort food for fall from slow cooker

We begin this November Exchange with requests for protein shakes and smoothies, chicken broth with medicinal qualities from the marrow of chicken bones, biscotti or other cookies that may be dipped into a mug of coffee and white yeast bread.

Our first requests came from J.P., who wants recipes for protein shakes and smoothies. She has been making chicken soup for friends, but now has been told that the marrow of chicken bones has a special healing quality.

“And so I want to know how the marrow ends up in a bowl of chicken broth. How do you get the essence?”

Cookie in the Kitchen wants to expand her repertoire to “coffee cookies,” cookies that are good to dip in coffee. She wrote, “I would like a recipe for biscotti or other cookies that are flavored with coffee.”

Kudos for your cooking:
