No More Boring Chicken

As a fitness enthusiast, chicken is probably a standard food item on your dinner table. And for good reason! It's an inexpensive, versatile, easy-to-cook, low-fat, high-protein food choice that goes well with other foods.
What else can you ask for? Well, chicken can get a little boring if eaten day in and day out. There's only so much you can do with barbeque sauce! So we've gathered 10 tips and recipes to spice up chicken and make this mainstay a whole lot tastier.
As A High Source Of Protein,Chicken Is A Staple In Any Bodybuilders Kitchen.
Tip 1 Marinating
For a richer flavor, season and marinate your chicken for 24 hours before cooking and store it in the refrigerator.
The longer you keep chicken in a marinade, the more it'll be infused with flavor.
Tip 2 Healthy Marinating
To keep meals healthier, marinate chicken in seasoned fruit juice or chicken broth instead of oil-based marinades before grilling or broiling. Always store chicken in the fridge while it marinates, even if you only plan to let it soak for 30 minutes.
Tip 3 Seasoning
Use bold seasonings like freshly grated lemon peel, minced hot peppers, fresh herbs, and infused vinegars to add flavor to chicken dishes without adding fat.
Use Bold Seasonings To Add FlavorTo Chicken Dishes Without Adding Fat.
Tip 4 Non-Stick Skillets
Sauteed chicken tastes great, but can be fattening if you use oil or butter. Instead, eliminate the need for oil and butter by using a non-stick skillet. Trim all visible fat from cuts of chicken and add some onions, green peppers, and spices.
Tip 5 Cooking Thermostat
Drying out chicken by overcooking it can ruin its taste. To get around this problem, use a cooking thermometer to determine when your chicken is cooked just right. The internal temperature of a whole chicken should reach 180 degrees F and chicken breasts should be cooked to a temperature of 170 degrees F.
Another way to see if chicken is done is to pierce the thickest part of the meat to see if the juices run clear. If they're clear and not pink, the chicken is ready.
Tip 6 Skin
When baking a whole chicken, it's best to keep the skin on to avoid drying out the meat. The skin helps hold in the juices and flavor of the meat. It can be easily removed after cooking.

KEEP AWAY from pecan pie - go for pumpkin pie if you can - up to 200 calories less.

Stop Bad Breath In SEVEN Days

The key to a healthy mouth is to stop gum disease. This condition is usually fairly easily recognized in that the first symptoms are swollen red gums, rather than firm, pink ones which is their normal state. Bad breath may also be a problem. Gum disease (the early stage is called gingivitis) can be difficult to detect as it advances very slowly and is a painless condition.

How Safe Are Your Childrens Toys?


Breaking News! Nearly a third of 1,200 children's toys tested contained lead and other toxic chemicals like arsenic! What are the dangerous chemicals and what can you do about it ?
The main ones are lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic.

Why be alarmed ? Well, babies and children frequently put toys in their mouths and these toxic chemicals have been linked to reproductive problems, learning disabilities, hormone problems and cancer.

"Toxic chemicals have no place in children's toys, period," said Ted Schettler, MD, Science Director at the Science and Environmental Health Network. "Even low-level toxic chemical exposures can have lifelong impacts. Getting toxic chemicals out of children's toys is a moral and medical imperative."

The good news is that safe toys are possible. 28% of the products tested did not contain any lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury or PVC, including many made in China. Examples of healthier toys include: Amazing Animals Hippo by Fisher-Price (made in China); Caterpillar Grasping Toy by Melissa and Doug (made in Vietnam); and B.R. Bruin Stacking Cups (made in China).
