It is worth traveling to Iligan just to eat at Mariano’s restaurant. ‪#‎grainsequalsugar‬‪#‎sugarequalsinflammation‬‪#‎inflammationleadstodisease‬‪#‎iligancity‬‪#‎primedforyourlife‬‪#‎justeatrealfood‬‪#‎marianosresteraunt‬‪#‎DoiMariano‬‪#‎AvrilMariano‬‪#‎supportrealfood‬

Zudles with Roast Chicken and Vegetables

Primed Roast chicken is a dish we enjoy weekly in our household. It is filling, nutritious and delicious. We usually roast 2 chickens at a time and then use the left overs for school lunch box items and then the bones for Primed Bone Broth.

After having the roast chicken for Saturday dinner I easily made Zudles with left overs for our poolside garden lunch on Sunday.
