Instructions to make Cheesy Bacon Chicken Thighs with Braised Rutabaga (LCHF):

1. Using a big sturdy knife, carefully half the rutabaga by stabbing the knife into it and putting your weight down on the knife (keeping your fingers well out of the way) then remove the skin by placing it cut side down and paring away small pieces of the hard skin away in a downward action following the shape of the vegetable, along with any slightly green/lighter coloured parts beneath the skin. You should be left with only the inner yellow/orange part.
2. Chop the rutabaga into bite size pieces.
3. Peel and roughly chop the onion.
4. In a large pot, add the rutabaga, onion, stock, garlic powder and butter.
5. Bring the pot to the boil, put on a lid and cook for 20 minutes.
6. Heat the oven to gas mark 6 (UK) / 200 C
7. Meanwhile, season both sides of the chicken thighs. Go easy with the salt, as the bacon could be salty!
8. Lay out a big piece of cling film and lay two pieces of bacon together for each chicken thigh. You may want to use the back of a heavy kife to stretch/flatten the bacon if it is thickly cut.
9. Place the chicken thighs onto the bacon, outer (smooth) side of the thighs facing downwards.
10. Place a piece of Edam cheese about the length and width of your thumb onto each chicken thigh, at the end nearest to you.
11. Roll up the whole thing using the cling film to guide you and holding onto the ends of the bacon so it doesn't get rolled inside.
12. Use two cocktail sticks per chicken thigh to secure the bacon in a criss cross.
13. In a skillet/ frying pan, heat the oil or bacon fat over a medium heat.
14. Brown the chicken thigh roll ups on all sides then place them in a roasting tin.
15. Bake for 30 minutes, maybe longer if the thighs are on the large side (don't worry if the cheese melts, as the crispy bits are delicious with the saucy sauce!)
16. Remove the lid from the rutabaga and turn the heat up a bit to let the stock reduce until it is almost gone (you will want some as it makes a sauce for the meal)
17. Take the chicken out and when you are certain it's cooked through, rest it for a few minutes.
18. Remove all the cocktail sticks.
19. Serve two chicken thighs per (hungry) person with some rutabaga and stock/sauce.

Use Food to Boost Your Mood

For the most part, people have been conditioned to believe that “comfort” foods are not good for the body and have to be avoided. Often, if the comfort food is a sugary food or another junk food, this is true. Otherwise, comfort foods could be really healthy and good for you. There are several foods that, when you eat them, can boost your mood. If you are feeling a little bit down and you need a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.

Eggs, you may be astonished to discover, are wonderful at combating depression. Just see to it that you do not throw out the yolk. Whenever you wish to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most vital part of the egg. Eggs, the yolks especially, are rich in B vitamins. These B vitamins are fantastic for helping to improve your mood. This is because they improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that tell you how to feel). Consume an egg and jolly up!

Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all fantastic for helping to elevate your mood. This is possible because these foods are rich in magnesium which raises serotonin production. Serotonin is a feel-good substance that dictates to the brain how to feel at any given point in time. The more of this chemical in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Not just that but nuts, specifically, are a terrific source of protein.

If you would like to battle depression, try eating some cold water fish. Herring, trout, tuna, wild salmon, and mackerel are all rich in omega-3 fats and DHA. These are two substances that increase the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can greatly boost your mood.

Grains can be excellent for fighting a bad mood. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are fantastic at helping you feel better. They can help you feel full for longer also, which can help your mood too. Feeling hungry can be a real downer! These grains can help your mood elevate as it’s easy for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your blood sugar which in turn brings up your mood to a happier place.

Green tea is really great for your mood. You were simply anticipating to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea is rich in an amino acid called L-theanine. Studies show that this particular amino acid can basically stimulate brain waves. This helps improve your mental acuity while calming the rest of your body. You already knew that green tea helps you be better. Now you are well aware that it helps you to lift your moods also!

See, you don’t need to stuff your face with junk food when you want to feel better! Try some of these tips instead.
