Ever heard of chervil?  Apparently, this herb can ward off wrinkles.  It is rich in flavonoids and lignans, antioxidants with a proven ability to squelch the activity of free radicals that leads to premature skin aging.  Some studies also say that the herb can ease bloat.

Here's a yummy way to enjoy chervil.  In a food processor, soften an 8 oz. bar of cream cheese then add a tablespoon of chopped chervil and a tablespoon of lemon zest.  Spread on toasted bread or crackers.  You may also sprinkle it on scrambled eggs, deviled-egg salad or omelets.
