Cooking For Health: Honey - Nutritive to the Core
Healing Properties:
When honey is applied to burns, it will prevent the formation of blisters and promote
quick healing of the skin.
Honey can absorb moisture and it has been prized for its mild antibiotic properties for
centuries due to this fact. Where bacteria is trapped in honey, the honey will absorb
moisture from the bacteria and so kill it off. |

Tip of the week
Cooking:
Soak almonds in water overnight if you want to remove skin. The skin will
come off much faster than that soaked in hot water for a short time. The almonds will not
loose color also. Any extras may be sun dried till crisp and stored for months in airtight
jars.
Health:
Be a kid in the snow again: To counteract all those extra holiday calories,
get a winter workout while having fun in the snow. Activities like building a snowman,
making snow angels and snowball fighting can burn up to 300 calories per hour!
Cookery term
Broth or Stock:
A flavorful liquid made by gently cooking meat, seafood, or
vegetables (and/or their by-products, such as bones and trimming) often with herbs, in
liquid, usually water. |
