You pour it into a empty glass container, cover it, and put it in the fridge. It will harden and you can use it for cooking later or just throw it in the trash. Don't pour it down the sink!

Activa Blueberry Yogurt and a Bananna. Breakfast increases your metabolism 5% for the entire day which translates to 80-120 calories burned. So be sure to always eat breakfast!

You mention farmed salmon but I heard fresh caught salmon in Upstate New York rivers is worse. Regardless I eat both because Salmon is delicious and nutrient packed. I'll take my chances.

We used to make our own eggnog but with the raw egg scare a few years back we don't make it anymore. It was vanilla flavoring, 2 eggs, sugar, milk, and cinnamon whipped together. Does anyone make this and still drink it?

Lunch meat sliced Roast Beef with brown gravy warmed in a frying pan with Mashed Potatoes! Glass of while wine.

Just simply get the George Foreman grill. They are easy to use, old school, work well, heat well, and are sold a lot of places. I know no other better, quicker, cheaper, indoor grilling alternate. We put chicken on one about 4 day ago and it tastes as close to outdoor grilling as you can...

I have one word. CUTCO I use them. Buy them for house warming gifts all of the time and am still using them for years now. I only have 3 steak knives but they are truly the best cutlery I have ever come across. Only problem they are really expensive. BUT worth it in my book. They are...

You definitely need a lot of protien in your diet. And reduce your dairy and calcium intake. Calcium increases the body's fat secretion.

Tomatoes are the biggest beginner vegatable with a plentiful season long harvest. I would get advice from an experienced gardener from your area to steer you in the right direction. Another good beginner gardening tip that I just learned this past year was to put old grass clippings on the...

It does look like there are plenty of posts but couldn't help to agree with Bknox above mentioning to put an indent in the middle for a flatter pattie. This is how I do it for a good shaped patty. I take about a 1/2 pound of meat (size of a tennis ball) roll it into a ball and then press...
