Is your first impulse after using cooking oil to toss it? Resist it: There are other things you can do with used cooking grease.
For starters, cooking oil can often be re-used—for sauteing other dishes, as an addition to things like vinaigrettes, for example. But before you figure out if you can re-use cooking oil, you have to understand when this ingredient starts to break down, which is called the smoke point. [Read more…]

There are good and bad parts of parenting. Some people vary on what goes into the good and bad but I think we can all agree that potty training sucks! It’s something we all have to go through yet some kids are easier than others. My 4 year old is one of those that’s taking his time. He is a fiery, lovable force of nature and while that personality trait will help him run a company one day, it doesn’t make having him completely potty trained come any easier. While we are now keeping dry during the day, bedtime is still a work in progress. Here are some tips I’ve picked up that may help you if you have a little fireball like me: [Read more…]

I just wanted everyone to know that I am now a publisher on Yummly.
I’ve been on Yummly for a little while now and I’ve seen that it is a great site to organize all the recipes I find all over the web into one convenient place. You need to set up an account but it’s easy to set up and then you can ‘yum’ any recipe you see right to your recipe box. It is a lot easier than bookmarking, e-mailing or printing these recipes to clog up your life.
For sites without a yum button, they also have little bookmarklet which I found quite useful and added to the top of my browser. Click it and it’ll find the recipe on the page and save it to your recipe box while giving the owner of the site another ‘yum’ to their count. And they keep track of your preferences so you can search the site and never see recipes with ingredients you don’t or won’t eat. If you have dietary preferences, they remember them and only give you recipes you may be interested in.
If you are interested in following my yummly page, check it out here. Get ready to enjoy the easiest way to keep track of your recipes!
