Easy Roast Chicken Salad

This is dinner for me & hubby. It’s just the two of us tonightJ it’s a super easy dish which requires no cooking at all. We see this heavenly smelling, beautiful honey roasted chicken hot in the griller at one of the big supermarket and decided to grab one for dinner. Roast chicken may be labeled “sinful” by those on diet but to me, it’s about the wisdom of Balancing. What I did was to dress it up with lots of greens and here we have, a tasty and balance meal. The roasted skin part is the most delicious and I never deprive myself of the goodness of life…Fats are not necessary bad. They are sometimes more friendly to our body than protein. The key is moderation and again, Balancing. You can also choose to eat the salad with a simple lemon or vinaigrette dressings which adds more dimension to the whole dish. I did a herbal vinaigrette dressing for my salad. Ahh, what a satisfying meal we had…Health can be so enjoyable!

Avocado Jam

Avocado is a beautiful fruit. The best part is, it makes whoever consumes them beautiful too. Its Vitamin E goodness gives you great skin and its omegas content are great for our health and cholesterol level, it even helps in slimming too. Yup, not all oils are bad for the waist; good oils in moderations do help in slimming. With these in mind, I created my very own Avocado Jam using avocado blended with lots of healthful herbs and vegetable goodness. Be creative! Use it as a spread on anything from crackers to bagels or as a dressing to your salads. The melt-in-your mouth creamy texture will explode on your tongue with the fresh power of herbs... The jam keeps well in the fridge for up to five days only but, it usually disappear within threeJ

Potato Power

Cooked potato sprinkle with lot's of herbs goodness!

Fit for a king...
I made a super healthy potato salad for hubby yesterday after I return home from work. He has been so busy lately with meetings and I wanted to make him something which is healthy, yummy and cool. Potatoes are great alkalizing food which is very beneficial to human body (too often made “acid” due to our unhealthy dietary preference and commercialized lifestyle habits). I choose red skin potato for their superb crunchy texture. Always leave the skin on (full of potassium goodness), dig away the “eye” (poisonous) with a small metal spoon and make sure not to overcook them (become mashed potato). I made my own eggs & dairy free mayonnaise with nut butter, herbs, olive oil and lot’s of love…J How I love to see him smile while enjoying them. Health is TASTY! Love is DeliciousJ

Green Party Ideas

Do you love parties? I DO! I love FOOD! However, the fabulous varieties of food are always short of greens…L So, being a bit health conscious, what can you do? I think vegetable sticks are great ideas to save the day. It will be an even better idea if you can prepare it for your host. Yes, for the whole party of people. Good things like health are meant to be shared, and Health can be share the fun way too. I am sure your host will love you for your thoughtfulnessJ Vege-sticks are definitely great party gift. Trust me, they always disappear faster than the chicken wings.
