Udderly Smooth Skin Cream

Udderly Smooth Skin Cream: It Ain't Just for Our Bovine Friends

Udderly Smooth is a skin-cream that smells lovely and clean while softening the driest, most cracked skin. It is ideal for hands, elbows and legs, and effective for diabetic feet and heels. Udderly Smooth original cream leaves no greasy residue on the skin. We love having jars of it around the house to protect us from the ravages of dry weather and winter cold.

Elegant, Nutritious Sweet Potatoes and Yams

Sweet Potatoes and Yams

Posted on January 20, 2012 at 7:45 PM

 

Our friends at Paleo Works in Yorkshire have written a wonderful essay about a dietary marvel known as the sweet potato, which includes delightful preparation and serving suggestions. Read it HERE, and while on their page, you can read about the sensible, successful Paleo Diet. Below, please find a recipe for a health-promoting salad that I devised using yams and red cabbage or  beets. The Okinawan people of Japan have for centuries relied upon yams as a central component of their diet, and attribute their traditional great longevity to the tasty tubers.

A refreshing way to eat health-promoting vegetables, this elegant cabbage and yam salad is also a nice thing to serve your friends: red cabbage is sliced as thinly as possible, and marinated for several hours in the vinaigrette of your choice, then mixed with yams that have been cut into match-sticks and cooked in water with a bit of honey until slightly soft. The red cabbage may be substituted with beets cut into match-stick shapes and cooked until just soft, then marinated in vinaigrette. Recipe and Photo©M-J de Mesterton
