Joy of Vegan Baking

I decided to make these last night. I found the recipe from the “Joy of Vegan Baking’ cookbook and they came out pretty good. I just think I used a little too much raspberry preserve. But I didn’t hear any complaints:)

I hosted a food free for all last week

I hosted a food free for all last week. I asked a bunch of people to bring over some raw ingredients, and we all transformed them into food. We had purple smashed pesto potatoes, spam and eggs, mango tofu, PBR steak, braised greens, walnut swimming rama squash and squash tendrils, and fruit salad with canned whipped cream. People were surprised that it was actually edible…

I learned that my kitchen has a maximum capacity of about 6. And I need to watch out for people turning the knobs of my mysterious gas stove the wrong way (it has a pilot light and the knob is unmarked and arranged Off-Light-High-Low, so it’s easy to turn it to Low instead of Off).

Then we played scrabble!

Great deals on eyeglasses at Zenni Optical

I do wear glasses. Started wearing since about 15 years old. I think it was because I kept reading books with dimmed lights that made me started to wear glasses. The degrees are increasing by the years since I've started using computers too.

I'm not sure but I somehow discovered that guys prefer girls without glasses. Glasses somehow make someone look nerdy, especially those with frames. Frame-less glasses make someone look more like doctors. But between glasses and contact lenses, I'll still prefer glasses because I wouldn't want to take the time and hassle to put on contact lenses. They are somehow more dangerous too if not handled properly.

Eyeglasses play an important part for everyone’s look and appearance. If you wish to be smarter and stylish among your friends, then wearing cool and attractive eye glasses would be best option.

Which do you prefer to eat during breakfast: Rice or Bread?

Guy's which do you prefer to eat during breakfast? is it rice or bread? there are lot of people wanted to eat rice than bread during breakfast because they are not satisfied of the bread only. Here in our place, plenty of people prefer to eat rice because they said it much cost if you eat bread. for me, I do usually eat rice in every meal before it was always rice but now it's either cereal, wheat bread or anything except rice. I'm trying my best to drop off rice now in my meal because it's the one which make me fat. As I'm trying to lose some weight now that's my method. But I don't starve myself I eat almost all kinds except rice.

Food coloring

I have been hearing food coloring is dangerous for children because in a primary school production of Bugsy Malone we're having custard pies and I decided to make them Tiswas style and use food coloring, but will it be dangerous to get food coloring in children's mouths for three nights in a row (Pie in face) In the end everyone gets splurged so should I alter the flan idea or will it be OK after left for one hour.

Food coloring is often seen as a harmless, fun additive to food. However, some food colorings can have adverse affects on consumers; it is best to know the dangers of food coloring and the risks associated with them.

Crockpot Turkey in Cream Sauce, Low Fat Chicken Tortilla Soup, and Spinach-Cheese Bake

I'm really big into eating healthy. Cooking Light is a really great magazine to subscribe to if you want lightened recipes with great taste. These are a few of my favorite recipes to start out with. My family even likes them, and they kind of turn their nose us to anything with the term "healthy".


Spinach-Cheese Bake (I don't use the butter & it still tastes great)

1 tablespoon butter, melted
Cooking spray
2 (6-ounce) packages fresh baby spinach
1 1/4 cups (5 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (about 5 3/4 ounces)
1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
1 cup egg substitute
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

Preheat oven to 350°.
Pour the butter into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; tilt dish to coat. Place spinach evenly in bottom of dish; sprinkle evenly with cheeses.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk until blended. Pour milk mixture over cheese. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve immediately.



Low Fat Chicken Tortilla Soup

*I double these ingredients for my Soup in order to have leftovers. Even the leftovers are gone the next day.

2 Skinless Boneless Chicken Breasts
½ Tbs. Olive Oil
1 Cup Chopped Onion
1 Tbs. Minced Garlic
1 Tbs. Lime Juice
½ Tbs. Chili Powder
¼ Tbs. Ground Cumin
2 Cans Fat Free Chicken Broth
1 Cup Salsa (Any kind you like; Chunky, Hot, Mild, etc.)
1 Can Corn Kernels (Optional)
Tortilla Chips or Flour Tortillas
(Low Fat Optional) Shredded Cheese (Monterey, Mexican, or Cheddar)

Step #1. Cut Chicken into bite size chunks. Heat Oil in pot and add Chicken. Cook appx. 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add Onions, Lime Juice, Garlic, Chili Powder and Cumin. Cook 2 minutes.
Step #2. Add Chicken Broth, Salsa and Corn. Stir to blend. Cover and raise heat until boiling. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook 10 minutes. Ladle Soup into bowls
* If using Flour Tortillas: While soup is cooking, cut Tortillas into strips and place on pan into a 400º oven for about 10 minutes, checking them often. The longer they cook the crispier they will be.
* Note: I buy the Rotisserie Chicken already cooked at Kroger and cut up the meat, therefore omitting step #1. I dump everything into a pot and cook for 30 minutes. The longer the soup cooks, the more the flavors combine. Try to refrain from using ANY EXTRA salt


Crockpot Turkey in Cream Sauce

1 1/4 C. white wine or chicken broth
1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 bay leaves
2 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 turkey breast tenderloins (3/4 lb each)
3 T. cornstarch
1/2 C half and half cream or milk
1/2 tsp. salt

In a slow cooker combine wine or broth, onion, garlic and bay leaves. Combine rosemary and pepper and rub over turkey. Place in slow cooker.

Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until meat is tender

Remove turkey and keep warm. Strain cooking juice; pour into a saucepan. Combine cornstarch, cream and salt until smooth. Gradually add to juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly

Slice turkey. Serve with cream sauce.

GOOD LUCK! Also, maybe buy a George Foreman Grill if you don't have one. You can grill up chicken in an instant for great salads!!!

Operation Restore

Our hair is viewed by many humans as our crowning glory, quite literally. We lose, on average, 50-100 strands each day which are replaced by new hair follicles. However, age, genetics or illness can cause this new hair growth to slow and balding patterns can occur. The ISHRS has developed and managed "Operation Restore" which approves and finances pro bono hair restoration for those patients in need who have suffered hair loss because of disease or trauma. This program matches prospective hair loss patients with volunteer ISHRS physicians to obtain hair restoration services to help restore the physical and emotional wellness of the individual. The foundation will provide financial, travel, lodging, and medical assistance to eligible patients in need.

Although hair loss cannot be avoided, you can improve the health of your hair and scalp to delay further loss.

Why almost people tried to smoke even if they know the effect on it?

Some kids may start smoking just because they're curious. Others may like the idea of doing something dangerous that they didn’t know the effect in their health. Still others might know lotsof people who smoke and they might think it's look like an adult. You won’t see cigarettes advertised on TV but the label in the cigarettes had a warning message that using cigarettes is dangerous to our health..
