While being told by your doctor that your cholesterol level is high is not exactly what you want to hear, it is not something that should cause immediate panic.

Many families scrimp and save or even go into debt so that they can take a yearly one or two week family vacation. This year plan a STAYcation instead. There is no need to go into debt in order to have a great time during the summer. With a little thought and some careful planning, your whole family can spend an entire summer having fun, for less than a two week vacation would cost.

When man began eating meat, there was only one way to preserve it, and that was to dry it. Over time it became what we know today as "Beef Jerky".Over the past several years, jerky ( most commonly made with beef ) has become a highly sought after snack, and can be purchased just about anywhere. Jerky is an excellent source of protein because all of the fat and moisture must be removed, however,

Several years ago I decided that I would make homemade candy as gifts for my extended family. I purchased pretty jars and tins, and filled them with a variety of different sweets, hoping that they would not only appreciate the gift itself, but the fact that they were made by hand. It was a huge success. Here are some ideas for making your own Christmas candy.

Every Holiday season, families count down the days until they can sit down to a feast of Baked Ham or Roast Turkey with all of the trimmings. But what about households where there are no children or visiting relatives to feed? Is there really a need to prepare a large meal in order to enjoy the tastes and smells of a traditional Thanksgiving or Christmas? Of course not. The following are some

If you have a vegetable garden or grow your own fruit, you are surely used to spending your days canning or freezing your crop. Here are some ideas that are a little more unusual than everyday canned pears and frozen peas and corn.

Herbs have always played an important part in healing in many cultures. Some may seem may seem somewhat strange to us today, but when we look at herbs and their uses, we will notice that they are just as effective as they were thousands of years ago.

The reason I call this recipe “twisted” is because although I love lentil soup, I am not a big fan of lamb. Years ago I took a traditional lentil soup recipe and twisted it around to better suit my tastes. The result was delicious.

Banging your head against the wall for one hour, will burn 150 calories but there are other less painful methods of losing weight. If you have a large lawn and like to cut grass, a half hour of mowing will burn 100 calories. Live in an apartment? No problem. Thirty-five minutes of vacuuming will also burn 100 calories. And for those who are not into housework, a nice brisk half hour walk will

Anyone who has ever been advised by their Doctor to add more fiber to their diet has no doubt found themselves aimlessly wondering the cereal isles trying to figure out which one is better for them. It is easier, and tastier to add fiber to your diet by staying out of the cereal isle and heading to the fresh fruit section to pick up some pears.

No matter how many are at my table for dinner, I always end up with leftover mashed potatoes. Before tossing them after dinner, think of all the things that can be done with them. Some are so tasty that I purposely make extra so that I can use the leftovers the next night.

When I first started out in the food industry, I worked as a cake decorator, which was a strange career choice for someone who doesn`t eat sweets and hates to bake. However, after marrying someone with a love for baked goods, I have spent the past twenty-two years trying to come up with simple recipes, that will make it easier on me, and keep his sweet tooth satisfied.

Traditional Jambalaya may be made with chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, crayfish, sausage, oysters duck or any combination. Even without meat this dish is a crowd pleaser. Try doubling the recipe and keeping it warm in a crock pot for guests at a get together.
