Build Up Your Immune System People line up at Marjorie Druker's New England Soup Factory in the winter to lap up her Spicy Chicken & Rice Flu Chaser Soup. Besides the classic chicken soup ingredients like celery, carrots and onion, Marjorie also adds roasted garlic, cinnamon, ginger, mint, lemon and cayenne pepper to help chase the flu blues away. There's a method to every ingredient she adds. She also makes her own Chicken Stock which makes all the difference in the world. Watch the video to learn this perfect recipe. Once again, congratulations to Marjorie "who can turn the world on with a smile" Druker for being crowned Hero of the Year by how2heroes.

Break out the blueberries, mango, strawberries and some yogurt to help strengthen your immune system. The Immune Booster Fruit Smoothie is a great way to start the day or follow a workout.

If you're anything like us, your New Year's resolutions do not include giving up mac & cheese or apple pie. However, you may have noticed that your pants are a little snug and perhaps you should take things down a notch. Here are some fantastic ideas for lightening up your menu without sacrificing satisfying meals. German Lam's Freestyle Stir-Fry is a great place to start. He gives you the basics for a healthy stir-fry with ideas on how to switch things up and serve it as is, or as a tasty Báhn Mi sandwich. Patricia Yeo's Edamame Potstickers are not only a great appetizer but they are also vegan for those of you cutting back or eliminating meat from your diet. Elizabeth Riely's Braised Salmon will give you all those Omega 3s you need. And powerful protein sources can be enjoyed in Jennifer's Sweet & Savory Chicken, Angelo's Chaca La Vong Fish Sandwich with Onion Marmalade and in Polly's easy to make at home Yogurt. Bon appetit.
