Gingerbread Houses - Step by Step
There's no better way to spark up the holiday cheer than to create a gingerbread house with the whole family. My mom, brother and I made these every year that I can remember as a child. My mom would make the dough from her old authentic German recipe handed down from her mom's mom, and we'd cut out the patterns, assemble the house, frost it and adorn it from top to bottom.
Things have changed a little bit since then... I adapted the dough so that it is easier to work with, and I always make ... Read the rest of this entry »

Should you make your own beauty products?
/p>
With the huge range of beauty products on the shelves, why do
some people still make their own beauty products?
I started making my own skin care products years ago. I got a
book about natural skin care. You can actually make masks out of
mashed fruit. They are really messy though, but back then, I was
really broke. Could not afford to spend on good skin care so I
made do with what I could get.
I mashed watermelon and put in on my face. My face felt really
clean, but there was a bit of ... Read the rest of this entry »

Red Meats and a Therapeutic Diet
There are many reasons to not include red meats in a therapeutic
diet ranging from slowing down the process of elimination to
increasing the chances of colon cancer.

Whipped Shea Butter & Its Many Uses
Shea butter, also referred to as karite, which means 'life' has
been used across the African continent for centuries. It hails
from Central and Western Africa. It's actually a nut fat, as
it's obtained from the fruit of the kernel. Shea nuts are picked
by women, then par-boiled, and sun-dried for a week in order to
dehydrate the nut. This increases their storage time. The next
step is to crush the dried fruit, in order to remove the skin.
When the shea butter is hand crushed like this, it ... Read the rest of this entry »
Low Fat 15 Minute Stew or Pasta
As I have written in my diet book and several articles, one way
to reduce consumption of saturated fats, and gain other benefits
of plant foods, is to replace part of four legged meats with
such soy foods as tempeh and tofu. These, like ground beef, can
be measured into small portions, wrapped in plastic film, and
frozen. For use, let thaw over night in the refrigerator, or let
stand one to two hours at room temperature, not long enough for
spoilage. Be cautious if using a microwaver for ... Read the rest of this entry »

Should You Salt Meat Before Cooking? Yes, If...
How many times have you heard, 'Salting raw meat (or poultry or
fish) will draw the juices out and make it tough?' I see this
statement repeated in cookbook after cookbook as if it were a
fact.
Yet in older cookbooks, especially the ones based on European
cooking techniques, salting meat before cooking is done
routinely, without loss of juices. In fact, if you do it right,
meat that is salted before cooking can be much juicier and more
succulent than meat that isn't salted!
So who's right? Is ... Read the rest of this entry »
