Ok, interesting. I haven't heard of that. Do you also make sweet butter for bread?
-
I also use the Instant Pot method which is SO easy. I strain through a colander lined with a muslin cloth left from when my kids were babies. I strain overnight on the counter, for a super-thick yogurt which peels off the cloth easily. It's cream cheese really - Middle Eastern Labneh. Really delicious with a little bit of…

Sorry, but I think you're doing it wrong. When I make butter it is very mild-tasting. Are you rinsing all the whey out thoroughly? If not, that can cause it to go off fairly quickly.
-
I'm up too. Cup of warm milk for me. :)
-
Me too. Look at the temperatures we had in Calgary this week. Not a problem keeping butter cold! ;)
-
Lay off the soda and salty foods for a couple of days and wear something fabulous that fits well, rather than squeezing into something too small.
-
That makes no sense to me. Shouldn't it reduce the number of reps, rather than increase with age?! It's inhumane!
-
This sounds a lot like my Christmas. I LOVE IT ALL!!!
-
What?! No. My family, if I tried to pull that:
-
Smooth Move (senna tea) if you're bloated due to constipation. Stay near a toilet!

I've recently started making Harira, which is a Moroccan soup with lentils and chickpeas. It's fresh and mildly spiced and tastes super-healthy to me. If I believed in detoxes, this would be my detox soup :) It's not that hard to make, but does take time. I make a big batch and freeze it in individual containers. I love…

This is a good idea. Sometimes it's easier hearing something unpleasant from someone else. My other son refused to shower unless we nagged him for days, and then overnight he changed to a kid who showered and wore fresh clothes every morning. I of course noticed and asked why he suddenly changed, and he said that a girl at…

It's tricky. I also have a 16 year old son who's getting a bit podgy. I actually don't know how much he weighs, but he doesn't look very overweight, just very 'soft'. He has a really sweet tooth, so like Quik I've spoken to him about nutrition and eating enough protein, and made sure there's always plenty of fruit in the…

I definitely am. I accidentally ate a Terry's chocolate orange for lunch. :#

Second vote for symphysis pubis dysfunction. I had it with my last pregnancy, and it was miserable. Even now my youngest child is 16, I still can't shove anything heavy to the side with my foot. http://www.whattoexpect.com/pregnancy/symptoms-and-solutions/symphysis-pubis-dysfunction

Just saw this on my Facebook page. Decorated apple pops. Kids would LOVE these: http://www.delish.com/cooking/videos/a49257/how-to-make-apple-pops-video/

I would be wary about making anything with nuts. Lots of schools are nut-free.
-
Bags of caramel corn. Chocolate-dipped Oreos/marshmallows - on sticks. Kids love ANYTHING on a stick. Decorated pretzels. Cello bags and curling ribbon are pretty cheap.
-
Yes, good point. Don't let it dry. Fill with hot soapy water in the sink if you're not going to clean it immediately.
-
We have a Blendtec and you can definitely clean it like that.
-
Ooh that sounds good!
-
I prefer to cook on the faster setting if that's an option, because to me things get a funny taste when they've been cooked too long.
-
I do this with my tea, too. I just copy it day to day. I actually have a recipe for my tea and that's what gets added. Sometimes I'll increase or decrease the number of servings, depending on how wild I'm feeling on a particular day.
-
Poached carrots?
-
Well now I want one of those, too. :)
-
I am also easily swayed and very tempted.
-
I didn't say I was svelte, just that I feel it after being fat for a long time. I certainly thought I was fat when I hit 140 on the way up, but it looks a lot better on the way down!
-
Log it and move on.

5'5" 49 years old SW: 185 CW: 143 GW: 135 I'm quite surprised at how low some of the goal weights are, to be honest. Maybe it's an age thing. I was a tiny little thing until my early 20s when it all went wrong ;) After years of being plus sized, I now feel pretty svelte at around 140 and size 8-10. It's all relative.

I love homemade stock but don't like the smell in the house. How do you all deal with that?
