Our Favourite


This is another favourite recipe in our household. I made this not as often but as much as I could. Its very nice and healthy, good source of protein. The chicken was baked with Parsley which has a very nice taste and aroma. A good and ideal dinner.


So dinner is Chicken Kieve with pasta. Yummy.


Parsley is one of our favourite herbs. I try to use this under appreciated source of vegetables as much as I can. It has a strongly nice aroma and we love it mixed in our food. Do you know that Parsley contains three times as much vitamin C as oranges, and twice as much iron as spinach. It's an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A and folate, as well.

Lets find out what else Parsley is good for :

It fights cancer! Parsley contains volatile oils that have been found to inhibit tumor formation in animal studies, particularly those in the lungs. The oils are not only cancer-fighting, they're also known to neutralize carcinogens including those found in cigarette smoke and charcoal grill smoke. Parsley also contains folic acid, which has been found to help prevent colon and cervical cancers.

Its rich in antioxidant. Parsley contains beneficial antioxidant compounds called flavonoids. These compounds combine with oxygen-containing molecules and help prevent cells which are damaged.

Its good for the heart. The folic acid in parsley is a critical nutrient in cardiovascular health. Specifically, folic acid helps convert potentially dangerous homocysteine into harmless molecules, a process that protects blood vessels and reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke.

And it protects against rheumatoid arthritis. A study published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases found that people who ate the least amount of vitamin-C-rich foods (like parsley) had a three times greater chance of developing rheumatoid arthritis than those who ate the most.

Parsley also found to be good at preventing anemia, boldness, diarrea, good for digestion, gout, etc, etc....

So there. I've proved my point!
