Hi!
The kitchen is STILL not finished (we are in the 4th week of our kitchen remodelling) but I am managing to cook a bit - at least the odd pasta dish or stir fry. Now and again the washing machine even works and I can do a load of laundry :)
Even with the all the hammering and banging going on, the house seems quiet this week as son No 2 is away at camp with his class. How can a 9 year old make so much noise? Somehow you always know when they are there :)
Have a great weekend
Love

Feature Article : Fresh and Pure
You can lose weight without following a complicated diet regime if you remember a few simple principles when you choose your food.
All food needs to be filling and satisfy your taste buds but as you know, a lot of junk and fast food will do that without helping your weight loss efforts.
So the main question to ask yourself about any food choice is :-
How fresh and pure is it?
If you make your choices from the huge range of fresh and pure foods available you are almost guaranteed to have a healthier and more satisfying diet than if you ignore these criteria.
If the food is loaded with preservatives and has a shelf life beyond a few days, it's far from fresh. Give it a miss. This will cut out all kinds of junk from your diet. Products with a long shelf life which pass the pure test though are Ok. Examples are dried goods such as whole grain cereals, pulses, dried fruits and nuts. Frozen and canned fruit and vegetable produce with no additives are good too.
But most of the stuff which piles on the pounds is far from the state which nature intended. In fact, for most of the packaged and processed food on offer if you can pronounce all the ingredients you probably have a diploma in chemistry.
If you cook your meals from scratch using pure ingredients you will do your health and your waist line more good than if you load your shopping basket up with canned sauces and ready meals.
When you're going about your day making those decisions to eat on the spur of the moment keep repeating to yourself "Is it fresh? Is it pure?" to help you make the right choice not to sabotage your weight loss efforts and your health with poor nutrition. And if you don't know whether the food is fresh or pure chances are it is not.
Once you have followed the fresh and pure way for a day or so, just see how much better you feel. It's amazing what a difference fresh and pure makes to your energy levels and sense of well-being.
Decide to feel that way all the time.
Of course there are a few other things which help you feel good too - like not stuffing yourself too full even with healthy food. But if you follow your body's lead, losing weight can be a by-product of deciding to feel good all the time.

Recipe of the week : Creamy Chicken and Vegetable Braise
An easy dish to prepare and cook. Serve with green vegetables.
Serves 4
380 calories a serving
2 medium onions, peeled and cut into quarters
4 carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
1 sweet potato peeled and cut into sticks
3 strips of lemon rind
450ml (3/4 pint) chicken stock (broth)
Olive oil spray
8 chicken drumsticks or thighs without skin
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 tablespoons creme fraiche (low-fat if you can)
Heat the oven to 190 degrees C (375F/Gas Mark 5). Place all the vegetables and lemon rind in a large oven-proof dish and pour on the stock. Put in the oven to cook for 10 minutes or so. Meanwhile spray a non-stick pan with a little oil and fry the chicken pieces until browned on all sides. Place the chicken on top of the vegetable mixture, sprinkle with a little freshly ground black pepper and bake until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender (about 25 to 30 minutes). Stir in the cream and the parsley, remove the lemon rind and serve.

Is it pure?" to help you make the right choice not to sabotage your weight loss efforts and your health with poor nutrition. And if you don't know whether the food is fresh or pure chances are it is not.
- An apple or a few nuts and raisins pass the pure test. A chocolate bar from the vending machine does not.
- A homemade burger and potato wedges is OK. A fast food "goodness knows what's in it" burger and chips is not.
- A glass of fresh juice passes the fresh and pure test. A diet cola does not.
- A cheese omelette and salad is on the mark. Reconstituted cheesy pasta misses by a mile.
Once you have followed the fresh and pure way for a day or so, just see how much better you feel. It's amazing what a difference fresh and pure makes to your energy levels and sense of well-being.
Decide to feel that way all the time.
Of course there are a few other things which help you feel good too - like not stuffing yourself too full even with healthy food. But if you follow your body's lead, losing weight can be a by-product of deciding to feel good all the time.
