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 burn that same 100 calories.

Although he wasn't all that amused with the name I had given it, he loved the recipe and now even substitutes chicken (or turkey) into his own chili recipe.
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.
