Chicken is a SuperFood! #TwitterParty #ChickenSuperFood #Chickendotca

March 24, 2014 by Wendy S

For the longest time, chicken has always been our “go to” food.  We love chicken!! (probably why me being a Chicken Farmer Ambassador is so easy!)

Now there is really great news about chicken!

Chicken is a SuperFood!

Chicken is a Superfood #ChickenSuperFood #ChickenDotCanRecently, studies have shown that chicken is a SuperFood.  If prepared with the skin on, it is even healthier for you!

[You] can cook your chicken with the skin on, retaining all the moisture and flavour you love, and then remove it prior to serving to achieve essentially the same health benefit as a skinless cut.

That’s right, a breast of chicken cooked with skin-on and then removed actually has less fat and calories than a skinless breast. How is this possible? When the chicken is cooking, the fat in the breast flows out of the meat and becomes trapped in the skin. The skin of the chicken becomes saturated with fat and retains it once it is removed.

Read the whole article on chicken.ca – “New Study Shows How to Cook Healthy Chicken with Skin On”

TwirlyGirl Spinderella Dress™ review

March 24, 2014 by Wendy S

logoonly

Lauren was ecstatic when her TwirlyGirl arrived in the mail!  She is our little fashionista and loves little girl dresses like these!

“Sunshine Cotton Candy” Spinderella Dress™ from TwirlyGirl!

image

Her first reaction was that she loved the colours and the feel of the fabric! “It’s so soft and fuzzy!” she exclaimed!

Twirl!

Then I told her to spin. She was over the moon!

Dresses for little girls that twirl just make the that much more fun!

But watch out!  She spun so much that she got dizzy! (I don’t recommend this, but it guess it’s bound to happen sometimes!)

This dress requires legging, tights or shorts to be worn underneath it so that your little girl remains respectful.  Lauren just wore leggings that she already owns, but you can buy shorts from the TwirlyGirl site.

I also really liked that they are easy to care for! As a busy mom, everything needs to be machine washable.  TwirlyGirl is just that!  Perfect!  I hung it to dry as I would hate to risk it shrinking.  TwirlyGirl suggest lying flat to dry, but I found hanging worked well too.

Bright fun colours!

When Lauren was asked to wear “bright colours” as part of the Spring Youth concert at church, her TwirlyGirl dress was her first choice!

 Twirly Girl Review

As a mom, I love that TwirlyGirl has colours and fabrics to suit so many different girls! There are so many different colours and styles of little girl dresses to reflect the personalities of every little girl.

Even my “I don’t wear dresses” daughter found a few styles and colours that she liked too! The TwirlyGirl pants are perfect for her. She can still play like she wants to be still be a little “girly”.  My older daughter is more of a tomboy so regular dresses aren’t usually something she wears.

For me, I love the Maxi Skirts!  They are long, flowing and definitely twirly!  I wish these little girls dresses the came in my size!

Doll dresses too!

When we went on the TwirlyGirl website to see what other dresses Lauren wants to add to her wish list, she fell in love with the dresses for her 18″ doll. I might just have to buy her one of these for her birthday!
