What expertise people can NEVER take away from the English is their tea!

(You might have seen my posts about my English Nanny and PG Tips! LOL)

They take their tea drinking very seriously…There are specific rules and times they sit down to have tea! It’s an important thread in the quilt of their existence.

I absolutely love tea and this appreciation started with my English nanny, Doreen.

The thing is, in addition, you can’t simply have tea without enjoying a “bickie” or biscuit. So, be sure you stock up on Christmas biscuits because ’tis the season!

The English are experts in tasty treats like that, namely shortbreads are my favorite.

Another thing my nanny always made sure of was that there were tasty candies around the house.

That may be why we love to make toffee and fudge this time of year.

So, this was intensified around the Holidays. So, in English spirit, break out your Christmas candy and enjoy them! Don’t save them for a special occassion – it is the most precious of occassions!

Looking for that English tea, biscuits and candies?  I’ve found a place – the English Tea Store.

Reishi Mushroom

How Can Reishi Mushrooms Benefit You?
By Keith Kearney

It’s not a big secret that mushrooms have been known to be very good for you. Reishi mushrooms are one of the top three medicinal mushrooms that has been used for centuries in ancient Asian cultures. The great thing about the Reishi mushroom is the balance it gives to both your body and mind.

This ancient ingredient has been used to help treat many ailments such as liver disorders, bad circulation and for cardiovascular health. Though, the most common use for the Reishi mushroom is for people suffering from asthma or other respiratory problems. One study has shown that over two thousand people suffering from extreme bronchitis used these Reishi mushrooms in a cough syrup and almost all patients were feeling better within two weeks of this treatment.

This component has also shown that it can help improve hepatitis patients and reduce hypertension. One study testifies that nearly 92% of 355 study patients suffering from hepatitis showed improvement in their overall health. Though it helps treat many ailments, liver disease is the longest standing traditional utilization. Many chemotherapy patients have used Reishi mushrooms and noticed less intense side effects, such as fatigue, hair and appetite loss.

Studies today have found that the Reishi mushroom has anti-allergy, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-bacterial and antioxidant properties. There is a protein found in these mushrooms called Ling Zhi-8, meaning spirit plant, which is found to help reduce the risk of transplant rejections, and fight cancerous tumors.

The Reishi mushroom is not only known for helping to heal the body but is extremely beneficial for your mind and spirit as well. Users of this ingredient has experienced elevated moods, and have felt more spiritually balanced everyday that it’s used. Traditionally the mushroom is said to transform the individual into a more spiritual being. Peace of mind and balance is only one cup of coffee away.

Many people believe that if you habitually consume coffee, it ages you. Nobody wants to look into the mirror and see an older, coffee-drinking version of themselves. Reishi mushrooms have been shown to improve skin tone, reduce the amount of acne, fine lines and age spots! Picture you getting back that healthy glow just by drinking something you enjoy everyday.

No matter what you are going through these mushrooms can definitely make you feel more balanced and healthier everyday you are exposed to it. There are many ways to use these mushrooms including, syrups, soups, tablets and even injection. Now you don’t necessarily have to put a needle in your arm or eat mushroom soup just feel the good effects from these Reishi mushrooms.

All you have to do is drink one cup of coffee everyday to feel these benefits. Yes, I really just said coffee, something that most of us drink every single day. It’s just as good as any gourmet coffee without the high-risk side effects, but instead with added healing properties. Our healthy coffee has been grown and processed organically with Reishi mushrooms without the dangerous pesticides used for most coffee beans.

P.S. Get your very own Rishi Mushroom Patch you can grow at home:

Reishi Indoor Mushroom Patch™: The Reishi Indoor Mushroom Patch™ Growing Temperature: 70–80° F Ganoderma lucidum, known as Reishi by the Japanese and Ling Chi by the Chinese, has long been sought after for its beneficial properties. Ling Chi is perhaps the most well renowned of all the medicinal fungi, represented in Asian art for thousands of years. Reputed to have many health stimulating properties, Western studies are increasingly authenticating what Eastern cultures have known for thousands of years—that this mushroom stimulates the body’s immune system. Once grown, this mushroom is generally broken up, powdered and steeped in simple teas. Its flavor is strong, distinctive, and pleasant to most people. Each kit comes with illustrated instructions and is guaranteed to produce. Our indoor Mushroom Patches™ couldn’t be easier to care for; all you do is place the humidity tent we provide over the Patch and water it according to the instructions (in some cases, an overnight soak in cold water might be needed to encourage the Patch to fruit). Be sure to use water that is neither chlorinated nor distilled: chlorinated water can kill the mushroom mycelium, and distilled or heavily filtered water lacks vital nutrients that your mushrooms need to grow. Spring, rain or well water work best, although boiled tap water will also work well. All of Fungi Perfecti’s indoor and outdoor Mushroom Patches™ are Certified Organic by the Washington State Department of Agriculture. The amount of mushrooms you will get will vary from species to species, and to some extent, from Patch to Patch. For example, the Shiitake Mushroom Patch™ will produce 2-3 pounds of mushrooms over a 12-16 week period, in crops or flushes that will spring forth in approximately two week intervals. Fungi Perfecti’s indoor and outdoor Mushroom Patches™ consist of pure mushroom mycelium growing on a sterilized medium, or substrate. The substrate used will vary, depending on the mushroom being grown; for example, the Shiitake Mushroom Patch™ grows on a mixture of enriched hardwood sawdust and wood chips, while the Pearl Oyster Mushroom Patch™ grows in a bag of pasteurized wheat straw. All of our indoor Mushroom Patches™ are ”disposable”, eventually running out of the nutrients needed to produce mushrooms. At that point, there is no practical way to re-infuse the Patch with more nutrients. However, many of them can be broken up and subsequently launched outdoors, in compost piles, bales of straw, or on hardwood chips or logs. Maximizing Your ”Mycelial Mileage” After they have finished producing indoors, many of our indoor Mushroom Patches™ can be brought ”back to life” through outdoor cultivation. When your Shiitake, Reishi or Oyster Mushroom Patch™ has run itself out indoors, the material that makes up the Patch (called ‘’spawn”) can be broken up and used to inoculate hardwood logs. Non-aromatic hardwoods such as oak, poplar (cottonwood), elm, maple and similar woods are ve

This delicious and creamy soup has a splash of red wine and is so indulgent, it seems sinful, but it’s actually good for you.

Kimberly’s Favorite Creamy Mushroom Soup is a post from: The How To Cook Online Blog

Many mushrooms come in dried forms and some exotic mushrooms only come in dried forms in stores.

Trumpet, lobster, maitake, morrels, chantrelles, porcini, miscellaneous “field” mushrooms, and truffles all come dried.

When you see them in their packages, you might be thinking, “Hmmm…That sounds cool, but how can I use them?”

First off, dried mushrooms are great additions to creamy dishes, sauces, pastas, stuffings, soups and egg dishes too.

However, you must rinse them under cool water to be sure to get rid of any dirt that’s still on them from being picked.

Then, you’ll want to submerge them in very warm or hot water for about 30 minutes, ideally.

You can use these soaked mushrooms for wonderful, earthy flavor in your favorite dishes.

* WAIT: Don’t get rid of the soaking liquid because they’re phenomenal for flavoring dishes…

Fresh mushrooms are always wonderful to use and very flavorful, but dried mushrooms are a marvelous, earthy and intensified mushroom flavor as an addition to your dishes.

* Tip: 14 g or 0.5 oz of dried mushrooms substitute for 70 g or 2.5 oz of fresh mushrooms.

Have fun and be creative!

P.S. Unable to get shiitake mushrooms at your local grocer? Here are dried shiitakes that will work wonderfully for you:

Eden Foods Shiitake Mushrooms – Dried Sliced, 0.88 oz EDEN Sliced Shiitake Mushrooms are grown on logs of the ’shii’ tree (Pasania cuspidata or Quercus cuspidata), a species of oak that grow in central and southern Japan. Fresh logs are cut into 3 foot lengths in the fall when they are about eight inches in diameter. Holes are drilled in the logs and shiitake spores inserted. The logs are placed in pine forests where there’s an ideal balance of sunlight, shade, and moisture. In approximately one year the shiitake begin to push to the surface. Shiitake will continue growing on the oak logs until the logs have completely decayed, usually after four or five years. EDEN Sliced Shiitake are hand harvested. The stems are removed and discarded before slicing the caps and naturally drying. After drying the slices are sorted for uniform thickness, shape and color before packing.EDEN Sliced Shiitake Mushrooms are grown in their natural habitat unlike commercial varieties grown indoors on sawdust bricks or artificial logs. Commercial shiitake are treated with fungicides to prevent mold growth. Shiitake grown under such conditions are less flavorful and healthful than our naturally grown shiitake.Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula Edodes) have been valued as a food and medicine in Japan, China and other Asian countries since ancient times. Cultivated for more than 1,000 years. Shiitake are the second most common edible mushroom in the world after the white button mushroom. Shiitake have long been recognized as a healing food, a quality researchers attribute in part to their abundance of complex carbohydrates known as polysaccharides. Lentinan and lentinula edodes mycelium (LEM) are two polysaccharides in shiitake that scientists are finding can help the body with diseases involving suppressed immune system function, including various types of cancer. Researchers believe these two polysaccharides may stimulate the immune system cells to clear the body of cancer cells. Shiitake are believed to have anti-viral properties, helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol, and to support liver function. A staple in Asian cooking, shiitake are valued for their ability to counteract the effects of excess salt and animal food.EDEN Shiitake Mushrooms are an excellent source of dietary fiber and vitamin D (25% of the daily value per serving) and a good source of niacin (B3). They provide quality protein, complex carbohydrate, potassium, riboflavin (B2), thiamin (B1), iron, magnesium and zinc. Fat free, sodium free, and low carb.To use EDEN Sliced Shiitake Mushrooms soak in warm water to cover for 5 to 7 minutes and they are ready. Reserve the soaking water for cooking. No need to remove stems or slice! For soups, stews and broth, there is no need to soak, simply add to the pot and cook. Tender in minutes. Use as you would other fresh or dried mushrooms in stir fries, soups, stews, gravies, sauces, pasta dishes or to make Shiitake Tea. Use EDEN Sliced Shiitake in place of beef or bouillon cubes in French onion soup or in place of ch

My favorite “vegetable” (well, it’s really a fungus, but whatever…LOL) is the mushroom!

It was understood as I grew up that mushrooms were tasty, yes, but they didn’t have much nutritional benefits other than a bit of fiber and lots of water.

Until last year, this is what I thought. However, mushrooms are chock full of all kinds of special nutrients, vitamins and minerals that can only be found in mushrooms!

In fact, mushrooms are especially healthy for your immune system. Try making a creamy mushroom soup if you’re sick, instead of or in addition to your favorite chicken soup!

The thing is, just until recent years, we were pretty much stuck with only being able to access white button mushrooms at the store. These are probably the least nutritious mushrooms there are that are edible.

Nowadays, you can easily find shiitake, oyster, kind oyster, enoki, crimini and portabello mushrooms to mention a few…

When I was young, I didn’t particularly like eating breakfast, so my mother was happy whenever I’d eat anything. My favorite meal of choice for breakfast was cream of mushroom soup! I still eat this for breakfast to this day!

If you’ve been thinking about partaking in the Maker’s Diet or trying to be healthier, try encorporating more mushrooms into your diet.

Try my husband’s spin on Creamy Mushroom Soup he created for my mushroom cravings!

Mushrooms, whether they’re cultivated, wild or exotic are not only tasty, but wonderful for your health too.

Mushroom Week on Cooking with Kimberly! is a post from: The How To Cook Online Blog

Especially since on October 1st, 2009, the Women, Infants and Children program has started an initiative to encourage mothers to breastfeed because the funding for such things as infant formula, baby foods, juices, and fresh fruits and vegetables has been cut.

Many families will have to pay for infant formula themselves that are on the WIC program.

However, there are ways to decrease your costs on infant formula.

Now, store brand formula, like that which you can find at Walmart’s Parent’s Choice Infant Formula, is of the same quality as other big-name, commercial brands because the FDA regulates the minimum and maximum nutrient specifications for babies.

These types of infant formula is sold at more than 35,000 retailers like drugstores, Target, Walmart, Babies R Us, Sam’s Club, Kroger, etc. and can save parents up to 50% on formula.

In fact, Walmart’s Parent’s Choice Infant Formula is on sale right now.

You can get their Milk Infant Formula in the 15.5 oz can for $5.00 each. Also, the Gentle Infant Formula for babies that are fussy or have gas is on sale in the 12.9 oz can for $5.00 each too.

Therefore, in essence, all infant formulas are pretty much created alike. Awesome information to know for anyone who wants to save money!
