It also offers solace and comfort and is invigorating and relaxing all at the same time. And the cool thing is, all the spices added in it is great for digestion, so it is absolutely good for you.

What Christmas dinner would be complete without bread sauce to accompany the turkey?

 

The bread sauce recipe is an easy extra for Christmas Day and is good served cold with leftovers. Less than 30 minutes preparation time, and 10 to 30 minutes cooking time. The recipe serves 8.

 

Ingredients:

 

• 2 pints goat milk
• 1 day-old loaf unsliced white bread
• 1 onion, peeled and quartered
• 4 cloves
• 2 fresh bay leaves
• 1 tsp white peppercorns
• 2 blades fresh mace or heaped ¼ tsp ground mace
• 2 tsp salt
• 1 oz butter
• 2 tbsp double cream, optional
• 1 fresh nutmeg, for grating

 

Directions:

 

• Remove the crust from the bread and tear the stripped loaf into a mound of rough chunks or cubes about ¾inch. in size. You should end up with 6¼ – 7¼ oz. of cubes. If the bread is not slightly stale already, leave the pieces out on a wire rack to dry out.
• Pour the milk into a saucepan. Press a clove into each quarter of the onion.
• Add the onion quarters, bay leaves, peppercorns and the blades of mace (or sprinkle the ground mace into the pan) along with the salt and bring to the mixture almost to its boiling point.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Cover the pan with a lid and let the ingredients infuse for at least half an hour, though you can leave it for a few hours if that helps with your cooking schedule.
• After the mixture has infused, place the pan back on a very low heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove the onions, peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves and the blades of mace.
• Add the bread to the saucepan and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring every now and then, by which time the sauce should have become thick and warm.
• Just before serving the bread sauce, add the butter to the saucepan and stir until the butter has melted and combined with the sauce and season, to taste, with salt.
• Add the cream – if using. Grate over quite a bit of nutmeg, adding more once you have poured the bread sauce into a warmed bowl or gravy boat.

Milk is a super drink for All! Packed with essential nutrients, milk is healthy for everyone from pregnant mums and seniors to teens, kids and newborn babies. Plus its rich, creamy flavor is undeniably delicious.

In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, working individuals are prone to neglect proper diet or regular meals. High reliance on fast foods often results in high consumption of saturated fats, cholesterol, simple sugars and sodium. Those who skip meals are also certain to miss out on vital nutrients for their bodies.

A complete and balanced nutritional formula can help achieve a balanced and appropriate intake of necessary nutrients, especially when a meal itself is inadequate. Milk and diary products are rich sources of calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and protein, which are all essential for healthy bone growth and development.

Our bones store calcium. When we do not get enough calcium from our daily meals, our body uses the calcium that is stored in our bones. Unfortunately, our bones start to lose calcium at a much greater rate when we reach our thirties. This causes our bones to weaken, thus increasing the risk of getting osteoporosis. By drinking goat milk regularly, we supply our body with the calcium it needs, therefore reducing the amount of calcium removed from our bones.

 

How much daily Calcium does your body need to maintain bone health?

Calcium Level Requirement To Take	Note :
19 to 50 years old	1,000mg a day (male and female)
51 to 70 years old	1,200mg a day (female) and 1,000mg a  day (male)
70 years above	1,200mg a day ( male and female)

How much Calcium do you get every day? Is it enough?

To get 100 percent daily Calcium requirements :

Fried chicken	x 71 pieces
Anchovies	x 690 pieces
Minced beef	x 28 cups
White bread	x 91 pieces
Cheese	x 11 slices
Soy bean milk	x 20 cups
Soy bean curd	x 6 pieces
Rice	x 200 bowls
Fresh goat milk	x 4 glasses

We lose calcium everyday. But, because we can’t see, or feel the damage being done to our bones, people often start taking preventive measures once it is already too late. Every day our bones are going through a natural process of breaking down and rebuilding. For that rebuilding we need Calcium.

 

In addition, our bodies are losing Calcium on a daily basis through our skin, nails, hair, sweat, urine and in other ways. As our bodies cannot produce Calcium, therefore it is vital to get adequate Calcium from the food we eat to protect our bone strength like milk, yogurt, cheese, certain green vegetables, bean curd, whole canned mackerel, canned sardines and salmon with soft edible bones. Fatty fish like mackerel, salmon, sardines and tuna are also good food sources of vitamin D.
