Apple Juice and Its Health Benefits
This is one of the most delicious juice that I've ever tasted, according to what I have read "Apple juice is a good alternative to soda and other soft drinks, especially because it contains vitamin C and healthy polyphenol antioxidants that are essential for overall health. Research suggests that consuming a moderate amount of apple juice as part of your daily diet might provide a few health advantages".
Apple juice also can help avoid the onset of alzheimer's disease and can help reduce certain types of cancer.

Fried Chicken with Powdered Milk
When I cooked this, there were lots of powdered milk in the cabinet, an idea came out "what if I will put this on fried chicken?" I tried and it is just fine. Wanna try? Here is the recipe for it.
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken cut into serving sizes
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup powdered milk
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 tablespoons lime or calamansi juice
1 beaten egg
salt and pepper
Procedure:
1. Marinate the chicken with lime juice, soy sauce and put salt and pepper as needed.
2. Prepare the breading by combining the flour and powdered milk.
3. Remove the chicken from the marinating sauce then pour in the beaten
egg and mix well so that the breading mixture will
stick well.
4. Roll over the chicken in the breading and deep fry in a hot oil until golden brown.
5. Serve it hot.
Tips for frying: Make sure that the oil is hot, when the chicken is already brownish reduce the heat to low allowing the chicken to be cooked evenly, do not make the heat so high because it will make the chicken almost burnt outside but raw inside.
