This recipe was pulled out of a store magazine and with a bit of a twist, I made it mine. The good old casserole is a pleasure in most homes during winter. It is not only easy to pull together, it is worthy of every time spent cooking it.
I used potatoes, parsnips, carrots, red onions, kidney beans, chopped tomatoes and chicken, however, this recipe could be easily adapted to your taste. Adding a mix of bell peppers would balance the taste and texture. (more…)
One of the foods I often cook is rice. My One-Pot Chicken and Rice dish is one of the easiest. It is easy to cook and just anything could be added. I used loads of peppers. Peppers are known for their abundance of vitamin C.
Peppers have Vitamin B6 and folates. Red peppers have been praised for aiding night vision. Red peppers have loads of antioxidants. To top it all, red peppers help in burning more calories.
Apart from red peppers, I used onions, chilli, mixed herbs and chicken of course. Just like I said earlier, this recipe is easily adaptable, it is what you make of it.
To make my one-pot chicken and rice dish here’s what you will need. (more…)
I am using barley in this recipe due to its amazing benefits.Barley contains a high level of potassium, calcium, and magnesium which help decrease blood pressure naturally. Including barley in your diet help maintain blood pressure.
Barley is a good alternative to rice and white bread. It is packed with nutrients that not only aid weight loss but also help in maintaining bone health, heart health, inflammation, and digestion.
Barley contains selenium, this is a kind of mineral which is not present in most foods. Selenium plays a role in liver enzyme function and helps detoxify some cancer-causing compounds in our body. Selenium prevents inflammation, it also decreases tumour growth rate and helps our immune system fight infection by stimulating cells to combat infections.
