HODGE PODGE DAY

 

Sorry about missing yesterday. I came down with a

virus during our celebration weekend, so I was resting

up an extra day. Today I have a neat selection of tips

and recipes:

 

WORD OF CAUTION

Just a word of caution on using the " waitress " method of

salt and ice. I, too, waitressed and decided to try it on

my husband's insulated coffee carafe. Within seconds

of swirling, the inside (glass portion) of the thermos

exploded into tiny pieces. Thankfully, I escaped unharmed.

I'm thinking that the ice and salt brought the temperature

TOO far down, causing it to break. It certainly scared me

and I didn't want it happening to anyone else. ~Christina

Dutch-Style Beef with Cabbage

1/4 tsp. Black Pepper

2 Tbsp. Oil

3 Onions, sliced

3/4 cup water

2 tsp. Low Sodium Beef Bouillon

1 small Cabbage

meat in oil on all sides. Transfer to crockery cooker, add

onions. Add water, vinegar and bouillon to skillet, Stir,

scraping up browned bits from bottom. Pour over beef

and onions in cooker. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

Serve over hot cooked cabbage wedges. 5 Servings

 

HEALTHY TIPS

Sit down to breakfast. Studies have shown that people who

eat breakfast are less likely to struggle with obesity and

diabetes than those who skip or skimp.

 

-Oatmeal. Sprinkle with 1 Tbsp of ground flaxseed, 1 cup

blueberries, and 2 to 4 oz of pomegranate juice

 

-Cereal made with whole grain. Have a bowl of cereal such

as Cheerios, with skim milk or low-fat soymilk, such as 8th

Continent Soymilk, plus 1 cup of sliced strawberries.

 

-Fruit parfait. Mix fresh berries into 6 to 8 oz of fat-free

vanilla or plain yogurt. Sprinkle with slivered almonds and

ground flaxseed.

 

LIZZY'S STAIN & ODOR TIPS

Here's a recipe for a natural mixture for cleaning nasty food

odours from hands (garlic,onion, fish etc) and keep your

hands soft at the same time. In a non metal bowl mix 1/2 cup

olive oil, 1/2 cup of salt and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

Combine well and rub a couple of teaspoons into your hands.

Massage in for about a minute. Rinse off with warm water and

dry on a clean towel. Keep the remainder in a sealable jar for

up to 2 months. The oil moisturizes the hands, the salt is a

natural exfoliate and the lemon removes the odours.

 

To remove coffee or tea stains from crockery: wet the stained

item with white vinegar then sprinkle on bi carb soda and let it

fizz. Once the fizzing stops rub with a heavy duty kitchen towel

and rinse with water. Repeat for heavy stains. ~Lizzy
