Chicken and avocado sandwich



As it was healthy eating week at my daughter's school last week, all the pupils were asked to take part in a healthy sandwich recipe competition and guess what? My daughter won the competition and she got a box full of vegetables...... you can see the picture below. She is so excited so i just thought to share the recipe with you folks.


Just half an avocado
will provide one of your recommended five-a-day portions,but did you know avocados are as good for your outside as your insides; sliced into quarter-inch crescents and left on the tender skin under the eyes for 20 minutes they act as a natural face-pack, with fantastic results.

Edible floral ice cubes

Summer is here so, why not dress up your drinks with these beautiful homemade edible  flower ice cubes🌞💐🧊 How to make edible flower ice cubes 1. Fill an ice cube tray half way with water. Freeze. 2. Place one rose petal or any edible flowers of your choice on each cube, then pour one teaspoon of water over each petal. Freeze again. (This step anchors the petals to the cube so they don't float to the top but are actually embedded inside the ice.) 3. Once the water has frozen, fill the tray with water completely and freeze until solid. 4. Use edible flowers that are organically grown or from your own garden (Pesticide free)
