Oriental Orchard Chicken

                                                                           
This chicken has a strong Oriental flair, stir fried with veggies, peaches & almonds in a honey gingered glaze! Served over hot rice is the perfect choice for this scrumptious dish! Peaches are in season now so why not come up with a supper idea that incorporates one of summer's best treats! 
1 & 1/2 Pounds Of Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast cut into bite sized pieces
2 TBS Coconut Oil
2 Ribs Celery Sliced in Diagonal 1/2 Inch Pieces
2 Carrots Cut Diagonally into 1/2 Inch Pieces
5 Spring Onions Cut in small rounds including the greens
2 TSP Crushed Garlic
1 TBS Fresh Grated Ginger
1/3 Cup Soy Sauce
3 TBS Honey, I used Raw Honey
1/2 TSP Salt
1 TSP White Pepper
2 Heaping TBS Cornstarch Dissolved into 1 Cup Water
1 Large Peeled Peach sliced into slices like you would use for pie, mine was the size of a softball. If you have medium or small peaches use 2 or 3!
1/2 Cup thin sliced Almonds, I bought mine in the baking aisle of the grocery store.
Hot Cooked White Rice

In a large skillet heat the oil, add the chicken, salt, & pepper & stir fry until chicken is no longer pink. Add the carrots & stir fry about 5 minutes over medium high heat. Now add the celery, onions, garlic, & ginger, Stir fry until veggies are tender crisp. Now add honey to the soy sauce, stir & then add to your chicken. Stir & cook.  Add the peaches gently tossing them into the stir fry to cook. Stir your cornstarch into the water until smooth & gently stir this mixture into your pan stirring & cooking until you have a slightly thicken glaze. Stir in the almonds & your Oriental Orchard Chicken is ready to be served over the rice! This is delicious Foodies, I know you will love it too!

Cold Sore Home Remedy

A co-worker came up to me the other day upset & in pain from a large cold sore on her lip. She was trying over the counter medicine & it was not helping. I suggested dabbing on 100% organic cold pressed coconut oil on it. I brought some in for her the next day. Her cold sore was large, red, & angry looking. She put on a tiny bit of the coconut oil, in an hour the cold sore was smaller & a lot less red. She put the oil on about every couple of hours. In 8 hours her cold sore was barely noticeable & she said she could hardly feel it. The next day it was a lot smaller & pink not red. The 3rd day it was almost gone. Coconut oil is amazing for healing & I wasn't sure that it would work on a cold sore but it did! I hope this helps someone because cold sores hurt & are not pleasant to deal with.
