  • Foodie Talk: How Do You Like Your Chicken?

    Hi SL Fabz,

    I have a deep craving for chicken today so I’m heading out to buy some soft chicken laps soon.

    This got me thinking. There are many ways to prepare and serve chicken that still leaves you savouring its great flavour. I particularly love my chicken grilled or simply boiled and used to make stew or sauce. However, I’m sure you have more creative ways to serve chicken.

    So let’s put on our foodie hats today and exchange our best ways of preparing chicken. You just might be helping someone improve her cooking skills you know 🙂

    Tell us dearies, what is the best way you love cooking or eating your chicken? Are you a fan of killing the chicken yourself and savouring the unique fresh taste or do you prefer frozen chicken? Do you like your chicken boiled, fried, smoked, grilled…?

    Herbal Healing…Herbs to Keep YOU Moving! Herbs can help by stimulating circulation, by nourishing joints and connective tissue, and by easing inflammation. Humans are designed to move and our health depends on it!

    Moving our bodies moves food through our digestive system, moves lymph and blood through our vessels and helps keep arthritis and osteoporosis at bay. Here are some few natural herbs and their uses:-

    1. Use Ginger(any form, tea, herb…ginger ale..only if you made it yourself) to improve circulation, reduce inflammation and improve sluggish digestion.

    2. Turmeric is an anti-inflammatory herb for joint problems, physical trauma, it enhances  blood flow and removes toxins.

    3. Sassafrass is beneficial for arthritis conditions. It moves and cleanses the blood. Tastes like root beer! 

    4. Solomon’s Seal is good for creaky joints or after an injury. Heals injuries to the tendons, ligaments and joints, great for tendonitis.

    5. Gotu Kola heals connective tissue. Heals skin inflammation and arthritis. Excellent herb for those practicing yoga or meditation, it calms and focuses the mind.

    6. Willow Bark & MeadowSweet.. both contain the main ingredient in aspirin. Excellent for many kinds of pain. (there are no side effects, in fact, it’s used to treat ulcers, stomach problems caused by aspirin)

    7. Black Cohosh is an excellent herb for menopause, menstrual cramps, muscle relaxer, anti-inflammatory for joints.
