RE: Treating a Dog with Yeast Infection
Have the dog checked to see if it is diabetic. Yeast infections are common in people who have diabetes, but have been undiagnosed. ... View related article.

RE: Pork Chop Recipes
I always marinate pork chops by sprinkling soy sauce on them, let set about 20 minutes. Then grill them, about 7 mins on each side. Delicious! ... View related article.

RE: Can You Make Ham Loaf Using Canned Ham?
Yes you can use canned ham, but it may be more economical to buy a small piece of ham, depending on how much ham loaf you want to make. I usually buy at least a 3 pound or larger piece of ham, make it all up in small individual ham loaves, and freeze them. Here is the recipe I use, and we love it.
1 1/2 lb ground ham
1 lb ground pork
2 cups waverly cracker crumbs (same as butter crackers)
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup milk
1 lemon, juice and peel, grated ( many times I just use Real Lemon juice)
Mix together and shape into small individual loaves.
Glaze; 1 cup brown sugar,
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vinegar
1 tsp dry mustard.
Heat sauce ingredients to dissolve sugar, pour over ham balls
Bake @325 for 1 1/2 hours. Spoon glaze over balls 2-3 times. ( the recipe says uncovered, but I do cover them when baking.)

I make these balls up, freeze, then wrap in saran wrap and put in one large bag in freezer. Take out as many as you need at a time, then make the glaze and pour over to bake. If I only make a few, I cut the glaze recipe in half. ... View related article.

RE: Christmas "Goodie" Recipes
I love this because you just break the cookie slab into pieces.
Pecan-Chocolate Chip Cookie Brittle Recipe

Here's another free sample recipe from the Southern Living party. Pecans - chocolate - coconut...nope, can't go wrong with that combo! :-)

Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup butter, melted and cooled slightly
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup semisweet chocolate mini-morsels
1 cup pecan pieces, toasted (see note)
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut, toasted (see note)

Directions
Combine first 4 ingredients; set aside. Stir together butter and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl; add flour mixture, stirring until smooth. Stir in chocolate morsels, pecans, and coconut. (Dough will look crumbly.) Press dough evenly into a lightly greased 17" x 11" jelly-roll pan, pressing almost to edges. Bake at 350° for 19 minutes or until lightly browned and cookie "slab" seems crisp. Cool completely in pan. Break cookie into pieces.

Note: You can toast pecan pieces and coconut in the same pan at 350° for 8 minutes.

Personal Notes: 18 minutes is enough. I used parchment paper on pan. I do not toast the pecans and coconut. ... View related article.

RE: Too Many Bananas?
Instead of banana bread, why not make banana muffins? I use the banana bread recipe, only make into muffins. They bake in less time, & freeze easy. ... View related article.

RE: Sore Throat Remedies
If it's not convenient to gargle with salt water, try eating salty pretzels. Did this by accident years ago, and remember how it worked. This is great for kids who can't gargle. ... View related article.
