Tips for the Week

Alison’s Tip

If you want an extra crispy skin on your BBQ chicken, brush a cornstarch slurry over the chicken.  Combine 2 tablespoons  of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, coat your chicken, and cook on the BBQ as normal.  This will give your chicken a nice crispy bite.  Happy Cooking!

Katie’s Tip

Researchers  has found that buckwheat honey (over the age of 12 months) works better at reducing the frequency and severity of coughing episodes for children than dextromethorphan which is the active ingredient in store-bought cough syrup. Mixing raw honey (buckwheat) and fresh lemon juice in a ratio of 1 Tbls honey to 1 tsp lemon juice is a very simple syrup to concoct and soothes most sore throats and annoying coughs. It’s refreshing and soothing and provides a needed dose of Vitamin C.
