Wow, that’s a fun question. Chicken is one of my favorite things to cook. The possibilities are endless when it comes to chicken. When it comes to chicken, I mostly grill or bake it. Since we make a lot of salads, it’s always fun to add chicken, as there are so many flavor combinations. We’ll also have easy lunch options like chicken salad.
Cooking steak is also my thing. Like chicken, you have so many options, and it’s great on salads, too. The fact that I’m typing this makes me want to cook more. It might be time to go grocery shopping.

A chill is sweeping the coffee industry as iced coffee drinks gain popularity.
Americans are drinking iced coffee more than ever, according to the National Coffee Association. Coffee tastes even better when served cold, and it’s even more refreshing than cappuccinos and mochas.
As easy as iced tea, iced coffee can be made in a couple minutes. With a variety of options, including syrups, cold milk, chocolate, and spices, you can create customized coffee beverages that are just as good as those you’d get at a cafe.
There are a lot of drinks you can make at home, like iced vanilla mocha, iced rum coffee, and iced latte. Here are some tips for refreshing iced coffee drinks.
*Start by putting the flavoring syrup in the cup. Add espresso or coffee, ice, and milk to finish off the drink.
*Make sure your drink doesn’t get watered down. Instead of water or ice cubes, use fresh-brewed coffee cubes to cool your favorite hot beverage.
*Make sure you’re using a machine that makes high-quality coffee.
*Think outside the box. Whip cream, chocolate shavings, cinnamon, nutmeg or nutmeg can add a personal touch to your iced coffee.
Now that you know how to make iced coffee, go ahead and start making it.

Why Breakfast Really is the Most Important Meal of the Day
By now, you’ve probably heard that breakfast is the most significant meal of the day. Many Americans, as well as people around the world, still skip breakfast or only drink coffee for breakfast. When you include breakfast in your daily routine, you will have a much healthier diet.
No matter how it sounds, breakfast is a healthy start to the day. It is common for people to sleep for 6 to 9 hours without eating, and sometimes longer if they have not eaten since dinner the night before. As a result, breakfast is the first meal you’ll eat for a very long time. Proteins, for example, cannot be stored in the body and are therefore not available, so the body needs you to replenish these “low” levels. Like a match, breakfast ignites the day. Your body really needs it in the morning for energy.
It is also beneficial to have breakfast first thing in the morning so that you can avoid a variety of illnesses and diseases. If you don’t eat for a few hours, your sugar levels are probably out of whack. Therefore, consuming breakfast balances out the sugars in your body, helping to prevent diabetes. Eating a healthy breakfast also prevents you from overeating at lunch because you’re so hungry. A lot of health problems come with obesity, including heart disease.
Many vitamins and minerals can be found in healthy breakfast foods like eggs, fruit, and bran cereal. You can’t make up for the loss later in the day if you don’t eat these things in the morning. Nutrients make your body function properly, so always be sure you get enough. If you eat a healthy breakfast, you’ll choose more nutritious foods throughout the day, so that your body gets the nutrition it needs.
You can make a huge difference in your diet by setting aside 15 minutes every morning to eat breakfast. You should try to get at least three different food groups into your breakfast. For example, you can eat whole grain toast (bread food group) with peanut butter (protein food group) and a banana (fruit food group). Add milk to that, and you’ve hit a fourth food group. Even grabbing a piece of fruit or a muffin is better than skipping breakfast altogether. It doesn’t have to be a heavy pancakes and sausage meal every day. Breakfast is essential for overall health!
