I think it's a myth that it's cheaper to eat processed foods. Yes soda is cheaper than milk, but for the most part, you'll actually get much more nutritionally out of non-processed foods so you don't need to eat so much. You can't get much cheaper than dried beans, brown rice, 5# bag of potatoes, frozen veggies, or veggies…

No need to dry veggies before cutting. If the pepper was not overripe, you probably have a really dull knife and rather than cutting cleanly, it's forcing you to smash it to cut through. Invest in 1 nice knife. Take good care of it ( only handwash it and dry it before you put it away in a knife block or holder). It's…

I'm having the same problem too. So embarrassing. Since it's never been a problem before, and my friend has the same issue, I think it has to do with the water quality itself. My friend uses a sports wash, but it's spendy. The only thing that has worked for me is to always use white vinegar as the rinse agent, instead of…

BOB. All of my friends recommended it, but I was concerned about the cost. I finally got one a year ago and it has made all the difference. The ride is so smooth, it makes it effortless. The construction is great too. I store mine in the back of my car so I'm folding it up and tossing it (sometimes literally) in the back…

I realized that the only difference was that my HRM knows I'm female whereas the machine never asks. Either way, today's workout reinforced that I find the elliptical super-boring and would much rather do a class instead! Thanks for the input.

Quinoa is a good source because it's one of the few veg sources that's a complete protein in itself.

I've been grinding chicken, beef, pork, and lamb in my food processor for years because I'm completely grossed out by what goes into commercially ground meat. As far as I know, I'm not dead yet. I was very excited to get a meat grinder attachment for my kitchenware mixer this year for Christmas. I think that definitely…

Ciao! I'm not sure what criteria your doctor is using for diagnosis, but it's not anything being used currently. The McDonald criteria is what is primarily used right now. If you've got a lesion or two and at least one or two clinically definite exacerbations, you would be considered clinically definite for MS. Wikipedia…

Hot water with lemon and a bit of honey? Edited to add: are all teas out of the question? Tea like Rooibos and chamomile don't actually contain any "tea". Rooibos is from the legume family, chamomile is just an herb. There are lots of other herbal "teas" out there that don't actually contain any tea. I love anything with…

This is very cool - I'm going to try making some this week! I've made mozzarella in the past, I thought I'd have to add rennet or whatever it is you normally add to make cheese. Nice to know, I can do it with just vinegar!

We had cabbage tonight! Here are things we do with it: baked eggroll filler sliced into rounds about 1/2" thick, drizzled with EVOO and roasted on a cookie sheet for about 30 min at 400 F (that was tonight's experiment) diced, and fried in a very small amount of EVOO over low heat for an extended period. Add a bit of rice…

I'm a big proponent of getting lots of rest and taking good care of yourself when having an exacerbation. I feel like I need to give my body the tools it needs to heal and stop the attack. I do a lot of visualization and meditation. I don't know it there's any proven benefit, but it makes me feel like I'm doing something…

Bikes are not safe at all for babies until they have really strong head control. That would be 9 months at the earliest. You will also have to find a helmet small enough for her. I wasn't able to get a helmet that fit until she was over a year. Your best bet is walking. Or running. Either way your daughter needs to be her…

Good for you! Keep your daughter as your motivation and you will do great. My spouse has been in 19 yrs and it has been a good life for us. Healthcare is great, retirement benefits are great (if you stay 20 yrs.), pay is not great as enlisted, but there are housing allowances and commissary benefits as well. If you are…

I did spinning until 5 months, after that, I stuck with walking and yoga. I did both right up until a week before I delivered. I would highly recommend yoga. I had to do a regular class (there were no prenatal classes where I lived) but I modified for pregnancy. I think it really helped me stay mostly pain-free throughout…

I just did my first kettlebell class this morning. I had read the above blurb when I was trying to calculate calories burned, but 900 seems a little excessive for my 45 minute class, based on my perceived level of exertion. I listed it as "circuit training" since that seemed the most similar.
