I found this article on Glycemic levels, and thought it was a good idea to note it for my readers. I believe that many are obese, because they eat the wrong carbs and done watch their intake.
Keep an eye on G.I. levels. Glycemic Index were the buzzwords of the last year. The Glycemic Index chart ranks carbohydrates based on their effect on blood sugar levels. Carbs that break down fast and lead to blood sugar spikes are given a high value while carbs that move through the body slow are assigned a low value. The more low G.I. foods you consume the better for your blood sugar. For example, a doughnut has a G.I. of 76. Yogurt, on the other hand, has a G.I. value of 14.

I sure do like “fried chicken”, 
and it likes to put pounds on me……….I just can’t seem to resist the fried chicken, cream gravy, creamed potatoes, hot rolls and a tossed salad. I pour the gravy on the chicken, potatoes, and rolls and I’m in “hog heaven”. I’ll sit there and eat until every savory morsel is gone. I love my food…..:)……it’s something I’ve always had a craving for. For some people it’s hard to fry chicken, that turns out good. I had to work at it for years. Believe me, it wasn’t as easy as breading it and putting it in the grease and frying. I got several pieces, that still had the center raw. So, trail and error became the standard in everything, I’ve learned to cook over the years. I’ve really learned how to make it all taste “very” good. Guess that ’s why everyone comes to my house for the holidays. They know where the good food is going to be and that I’ll be cooking…:)…..lol.
4 to 6 pieces chicken
1 c. flour
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. garlic powder
3/4 c. oil
In bowl mix together dry ingredients, rinse chicken pieces in water, baste in flour mix. In lg. skillet, place oil and arrange basted chicken. Fry until sides start to brown, turn and pierce with fork. When both sides are brown, make sure to pierce again, just in to be sure middle of pieces are done. Remove to paper toweled plate, to drain off excess oil. Serve hot.

You Are Black Pepper

You may be considered ordinary by some, but you’re far from boring.You elevate the mood of any discussion, and people miss you when you’re not around.
You are secretly very dominant and powerful. Most can only take you in small doses.

I’ve been noticing a lot of different blogs, recently. I’ve also be interacting with other people who have food blogs. I came across a blog, through Blogcatalog, recently, by the name of UR Resident Chef. This blog has quite a nice display and offers beautiful cake, tarts, trifles and chicken recipes.

It means that :
there’s someone out there that I can reach for every time I feel a problem is over whelming me, and is walking right beside me everyday, protecting me, when I’m a fool. It is a reverent time to reflect on the life of Christ and what he gave to those willing to accept it.
It’s the fun the little children have finding the easter eggs. The gathering together of family and friend’s with the good food, and memories.
