Hi Addie! No, you are the first! Hello! :) All I am saying, is that whether you are a diabetic, recovering from a heart attack, or allergic to tree nuts, you can still eat a healthy diet. The same diet? No. But a healthy one regardless. And I hope I haven't insinuated that it is EASY to eat...

GotGarlic, You are absolutely right, it is definitely not enough to just tell people to eat healthy and exercise. And determining what exactly "eating healthy" means, is what my degree focuses on. The problem, I think, is that there is so much confusion about what it means to "eat healthy"...

The molecular structure and composition of sugar molecules is the same no matter where they come from. It is composed of both fructose and glucose. Fructose is broken down in the liver, without the need of insulin, while glucose is first broken down in the stomach and does require the body to...

This topic is the reason that I wanted to become a Dietitian. One of the biggest things that I have realized in my 4 1/2 years of college is that people are so very quick to believe anything that they are told. In college, we are required to use only reliable sources when writing research...

Chicken Enchilada Soup for us! It is a touch too spicy for me, so I will be coupling my soup with a handful of saltine crackers!

Hi Everyone! It has been, roughly, 7 years since I have been on this website! I used to love coming here and I'm looking forward to talking about food with you all again! :chef: As my username implies, I am currently a Dietetic Student at a college here in Missouri and I am very excited to...

Thanks guys! This is all brand new to me, so i'm very much just learning as I go. I have watched some videos on youtube, and I picked up a bag of "All Natural Hardwood Lump Charcoal" and also a bag of "Jack Daniels Wood Smoking Chips". I am very interested in using real wood in the future...

Do I have to use wood instead of charcoal? Is the wood what makes it smoke?

I made a very yummy seasoned pork loin and potatoes on it a couple days ago, I just put the charcoal on that left compartment and cooked them in there.

I have no idea!! LOL, I just thought it would be neat to try it!

Should have included that information. lol, It is a charcoal grill.. I have a rub and sauce recipe already but am not against trying new recipies!

I'm not sure what it's called. I will try to atatch a picture of it.

My husband and I bought a really nice grill/smoker last summer. Hubby has always done the grilling such as hamburgers,hot dogs, etc. but we haven't cooked much else on it and havn't used the smoker yet either. I have a rack of ribs that I usually cook in the oven, but was thinking about trying...

Just made this recipe, and they are Fabulous! I didn't have any nuts or chips, but I stuck some mini marshmellows in the batter before baking. Yum! Thanks Alix!

I recently found this recipe for a chocolate martini, here on discusscooking. It said the thread was too old to reply to it.. So I wondering if anyone knows if a "Splash of dark cocoa" is like the powdered cocoa? I absolutely LOVE chocolate martinis, and would love to find one to make at home...
