I hope you are having a splendiferous start to your April. I love April! Today, in celebration of the fact that it?s actually starting to FEEL like Spring, here in New England, USA, I?m serving up some love in the form of FOOD SASS?. Woo-hoo!
I always find it interesting that, as the seasons change, that often our desire for certain foods change. There is certainly a seasonal aspect to food, both when it is available, and when foods feel good to us. I notice this in myself, too. I am all about a good chili or some roasted root veggies in the winter, but come Spring, I start to want ?lighter? feeling food. And then summer comes and I am all about salads and berries and grilled fish (okay?and dark chocolate, too, but that?s pretty much a year-round phenomenon)!
Hence, your Food Sass? fun today is all about an easy, DELICIOUS Spring-ish chicken recipe. And, it is chock-full of nutrient-dense ingredients that Create Vibrant Health??everything in it is AWESOME for your body. Which is how it got to be in the Food Sass? Club. I have to make a special call-out to the curry in the recipe. Other than curry being super-yummy, it is a veritable health bonanza due to its turmeric content! It?s anti-inflammatory and is a potent anti-oxidant on it?s own AND increases our body?s own antioxidant activity. Phew. And that?s only the beginning of its super-hero powers. Learn more by checking?out THIS great article on curry/turmeric, which also provides a sassy recipe for Ginger Tumeric Tea (ah-mazing!). And, for more curry love, give this fantabulous recipe a whirl?
Chicken Coconut Curry
