Chicken Broth and the Candida Diet

It took me several years of cooking to appreciate the value that chicken broth and stock, as a matter of fact all types of broth and stock, bring to cooking. What was once sort of a specialty item in my kitchen has now become a mainstay on my weekly shopping list. I frequently purchase both chicken and vegetable broth and stock for a variety of my family’s favorite dishes. I have never found it convenient to make and store my own so I rely heavily on commercially available products.

Although there are numerous types of broth and stock available in the supermarket the majority of these contain ingredients that could be hazardous to your health. As I do not want to consume hazardous ingredients and since I follow the candida diet, a diet to help treat candidiasis, picking an appropriate chicken broth can be a challenging task. Candidiasis is a condition in which through numerous external factors yeast (candida) overgrows in the body. This overgrowth of candida can cause numerous health problems. Many times candidiasis patients go for years without any explanation for there ill health. The candida diet is the main form of treatment for candidiasis but one of the prohibited ingredients on the diet is preservatives and commercially available chicken broths and stocks are infamous for containing these.

Can You Eat Chicken Eggs Directly From the Coop?

Can you eat chicken eggs directly from the coop? Absolutely. Fresh eggs from backyard chicken flocks are typically more nutrient-dense and disease-free than the eggs from factory farms sold in most grocery stores today. In fact, fresh eggs from backyard chicken flocks may even be eaten raw or used when still warm from the hen.

To eat your chicken eggs directly from the coop:

Make sure your hens are healthy and disease-free; luckily, this is typical with backyard flocks. Chickens with salmonella are notoriously sickly in appearance and generally found only in large factory-farm operations.
Wash eggs before using but not necessarily before refrigerating or storing, as washing eggs removes a protective film that keeps the egg fresher for longer.
Provide your hens with a clean area for nesting. Spread fresh straw or cedar chips in their nest boxes weekly to keep the eggs clean after they are laid.
Collect eggs daily and store them in a cool place.
Refrigerate eggs after washing.

Use Your Toaster Oven To Make Perfectly Roasted Chicken Quarters

Most people turn to one cut of meat when preparing chicken: the breast. And that breast is typically bought both boneless and skinless. This is the most expensive type of chicken you can buy, no surprise given the high demand. It is also the least flavorful cut available. Many people turn to the boneless skinless breast because of an irrational fear of fat, a mind-set many entered into during the low fat craze of the 1990s. Others choose this cut for the ease of which it can be prepared. I’m here to show you that bone-in, skin-on chicken quarters can also be easily prepared and much more delicious than the breast meat. It does take a little longer, but the time involved is not active cooking time. Your toaster oven does all the work for you.

First, I would like to address the issue of fat. There is much evidence now that fat is good for you, especially if it comes from properly raised organic animals. No one will argue that fat from a poorly raised animal loaded with antibiotics is good for you. Yet organic meat is different; it has more omega 3 fatty acids than it’s inhumanely raised counterparts. It also lacks the build up of pesticides and antibiotics. So choose your meat wisely if you want the healthiest option.
