RE: Christmas Club Accounts
This is a great way to save, if you have a bank that does this. If not, start one on your own. Take the amount you need to start an account, so you don't have to pay fees, then add. I used my "Christmas" account for my property taxes. Too bad, it won't cover them any more! But I still save. My bank rounds up the cents on my debit card purchases. Every penny helps. ...

RE: Lacy Oatmeal Cookies (Gluten Free)
Most oats are grown close to wheat. So that is why it is not really considered gluten free. But oats in Canada are. I guess if you are willing to try, it is a good recipe to use. Since I am just allergic to wheat and a few other grains, I am lucky to be able to use oats. These cookies are one I will try. Thanks for the post! ... View related article.

RE: Recipe for Gluten-free Pasta
There is a mix recipe in the Gluten-free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy, by Bette Hagman. It is pretty good. But if you have a Trader Joe's close by, they have very good brown rice pasta, that is not too pricey! And lots easier than making it! ... View related article.

RE: Make Big Batches and Freeze
This is a great idea. I have always made a big batch of "gravy" and freeze the leftover. But the pasta tip is great. I don't know about everyone else, but when I cook pasta it is always too much, cause when you look at it dry it just needs a little bit more, usually the amount leftover, so I love not throwing it away. Thanks Linda. ... View related article.

RE: Flavoring Sun Tea
I just add some lemon and ginger to about a half a cup of boiling water, seep for half an hour or how ever long to get the flavor you want, when cool, strain and add to your tea. I usually use the flavored teas and add some kick! ... View related article.

RE: Eating a Low-Salt Diet
Our rule has always been to taste it first. Keep trying, read lables and get reduced salt items. Try not to use too many pre-packaged things. Don't add salt to cooking, except baking items that need it to cook right. It takes about 2 weeks to get over the cravings. And then about a month in, if it has salt, it is way too salty for your taste buds! Good luck, it is easier if it is you and not your husband! ... View related article.
