It is really nice, the flavour is compact and  it is best with chips. So I have an instant curry chicken and chips……………..Did you know that curry powder is actually a mixture of many number of spices, one main spice in most curry powders is turmeric. This is the spice that gives curry it’s yellow color and is also responsible, at least in part, for some of the health benefits of curried dishes.

Baked Peppered Chicken

Salt and peppered Chicken……………….This baked chicken is very good filling for your sandwiches such as turkish chicken sandwich or cajun chicken wrap as I used this as my base filling for any chicken sandwich I want to make. Sometimes I even used this on my fried rice or saute’d vegetables. Bake it and keep in fridge and it will last for 3 days. The taste is so flavourful as we keep the chicken taste intact because I only used onions, salt and pepper to taste…………….Did you know that salt is a good source of sodium. The sodium in salt is very critical in maintaining human hydration. Some studies have confirmed the importance of a balance of electrolytes: sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium. For instance, after exercise it is necessary to replace not only the water lost through perspiration, but the important electrolyte, sodium, as well. Because of declining renal function in the aging body, the kidneys retain less sodium. Changes in the intestinal function sometimes also lead to reduced absorption of many nutrients. These changes expose the elderly to an increased risk of hyponatremia. It is essential that the elderly maintain a stable sodium level in the body.

Ingredients: can make up to 10-15 sandwiches of different kinds

• 1.5 kilogram breast fillet
• 2 tbsp ground pepper
• 1 tbsp ground salt
• 1 large onions sliced

What do you do with your leftover meals?……………..Did you know that 50 percent of fat found in bacon is monounsaturated fat? That is the good fat that can help you lower bad cholesterol. Bacon’s monounsaturated fat is “oleic acid”. The same “healthy” fat find in an olive oil.  Hard to believe it, but its true. One of the knockdown against bacon is its nitrate compounds that used to preserve the meat. However, this compound causing cancer are only found in overcooked bacon. But don’t worry, by drinking  juices with lots of vitamin C and E inhibit the conversions of nitrate in our stomachs. Can you resist a fried bacon on your breakfast?……….
