    The Hungry Heart - weight loss hypnosis

    Has anyone had any experience with The Hungry Heart hypnosis program? I saw an ad in my local paper and looked it up online. It is a franchise, but it's listed as a non-profit (hungryheart.org). It's a pretty expensive program and I wanted to know if anyone else had any experience with it before...

    Olive Brine Weight

    My grocery store has a great olive bar that costs $8.99 a pound. I am addicted to these black Cirignola olives. I used to drain the brine from the olives in the container, but they would dry out after a couple of days. So, I started adding some more brine to the container. Of course, now it...

    Mother's Day Brunch sides

    I'm planning a Mother's Day brunch for my mom, sister and some of mom's friends. Main course will be a Caramel Baked French Toast with Canadian bacon (on the side). I'm also preparing a simple fruit salad. Is this enough? Can anyone think of something else to go with this? Since the french toast...

    Diced chicken breast and bacon?

    Thanks Constance!! I had never thought of using a vinaigrette as a pasta sauce before, and it was really good!! I sauteed the chicken, along with a shallot, in the dressing. Then tossed it all together with the pasta and bacon, a little more dressing, and some Parmesan. Hubby loved it!! Next...

    Diced chicken breast and bacon?

    Ok, have some diced chicken breast (about 3/4 pound) and some nice bacon that's homemade at my local favorite grocer's, and was on sale. Oh, and a box of rotini. Was thinking of some sort of carbonara, but hubby is lactose intolerant, so would like to find something sans dairy. (He can tolerate...

    Antiques in the fridge....

    I think there was some song that had a line about going away and then coming home to find "everything in your fridge has turned into a science experiment"! Maybe Tom Waits?

    Leftover Brown Rice

    I find myself with a couple cups of leftover brown rice. Anyone have some suggestions? I was thinking of some sort of rice patty or ball, lightly fried or baked? I have a general idea of some sort of binder and seasonings, but am kind of stumped from there!! Thanks!!

    Better N Peanut Butter

    Sounds kinda nasty to me. How about just eating a smaller amount of regular peanut butter?

    Enameled Cast Iron

    Along with the grill pan, I also got this pan made by Kitchenaid: Saute Pan with Helper Handle (4.75-qt.) by KitchenAid - Betty Crocker I have used this one and I think the quality is excellent! It is very well made, rivets not screws, very heavy even bottom and very tight fitting lid. Insulated...

    Enameled Cast Iron

    Hi Oldrustycars: I too was never thrilled with my Lodge cast iron 12 inch skillet. It seemed to cook well enough, but I always had trouble with cleaning and seasoning. No matter what I did, there was always a dark gray film that clung to it. Never felt sanitary to me. I did receive the enameled...

    Armenian Brandy used in Sangria?

    One of my husband's clients recently gave him a bottle of Armenian Brandy, brand name Ara Jan. I am woefully ignorant of most spirits, and while looking around on the web for some info about it, found a review site that suggested using it in a red sangria. I like sangria! Actually, I prefer my...
