    Not only is it good for you - but you can't get too much of it. Ever.

    Uhh, I can't agree with you. Not if you're still of dating age anyway.

    Ok Ann, I'll have you know that I just got up out of my chair and got the cookbook with this recipe. That is just how much you mean to me woman.

    Zesty Chicken Oregano- Betty Crocker's New International Cookbook

    21/2-3 pound broiler-fryer chicken, cut up

    1/2 cup olive oil

    1/4 cup lemon juice

    2tsp dried oregano

    1tsp salt

    1/2tsp pepper

    1 clove garlic chopped

    Lemon slices

    Place chicken in ungreased oblong pan, 13x9x2. Mix remaining ingredients except lemon slices; pour over chicken. Cook uncovered in 375 oven, spooning oil mixture over chicken occasionally, 30 minutes. Turn chicken cook until thickest pieces are done about 30 minutes longer. Garnish with lemons slices.

    I prefer skinless thighs for this, and I broil it for a minute at the end to brown. The juice that is left is amazing on orzo, or dipping hot french bread in.

    My mouth is watering just reading that recipe. I will definitely make it this week. Thank you so much for all of your efforts on my behalf! You're a sweetie!

    Tomorrow night we're having Autumn Apple Chicken, a family favorite. You brown b/s chicken breasts in a T. of butter, sprinkle with oregano, salt, and pepper, cover with sliced onion and tart apples and bake. At the end, you whisk a little melted butter and honey together and pour over the entire mixture.

    Mmmm, delicious.

    Honey is good for you. Here is just one paragraph regarding it...

    http://www.benefits-of-honey.com/

    The fact is, more and more researchers are turning up new evidence of honey's medical benefits in all directions. The benefits of honey don't just stop at satisfying the palate; honey also offers incredible antiseptic, antioxidant and cleansing properties for our body and health, hot beauty and skin care tips for ladies, and amazing healing properties as a head-to-toe remedy, from eye conjunctivitis to athlete foot. Its powerful healing attributes have long been used thousands of years ago and known to promote healing for cuts, cure ailments and diseases, and correct health disorders for generations after generations. The renowned UMF Manuka honey, perhaps the tastiest natural medicine, is commonly cited in many discussions on health benefits of honey. It not only fights infection and aids tissue healing but also helps reduce inflammation and scarring. In addition, it is often used for treating digestive problems such as diarrhea, indigestion, stomach ulcers and gastroenteritis. With more and more health experts and theories (such as the Hibernation Diet ) supporting its benefits, this oldest natural sweetener just keeps getting better. Eating for health has never been sweeter.

    I just thought this needed reiterating.

    I agree Babygirl, to a point.

    Honey and sugar hit the bloodstream in the same way. They are both considered simple sugars, meaning that the molecules do not need the breakdown process that other foods need to become pure glucose. Everything we eat is broken down into glucose. Diabetics can not eat honey any more than they can eat sugar. So honey may be healthy in moderation for you and I, but downright harmful for a diabetic.

    Bite me JD!

    I understand what you guys are saying & I "get it", but I also know what I've been told by doctors. No offense, but I tend to believe someone with a medical degree over one that doesn't have a degree. There are different types of diabetics, and some can handle certain foods that others cannot. They should consult their doctor. My point was not necessarily directed toward a diabetic, it was an overall comment on how honey is good for you.
