The filler in preshredded cheese is cellulos, a derivative of sawdust!! Do a google search and find out for yourself!! Plus, cheese adds calories. When you eat a sandwich, use flavorful ingredients and you wont even miss not having cheese on it. I have done a family taste test, where I blindfolded my family and had them try a hamburger with and without cheese to see if they can specifically taste the cheese. Only if you used a sharp cheddar cheese can they even detect that it is on the burger! ... View related article.
I made them this past june for my Neices wedding. I found alot of websites selling the kit to make them but I didnt want to have to spend so much money. So I just did a bit of playing around with a program I have on my computer that makes labels. I made a few labels of different sizes that said what I wanted the wrappers to say, then printed them out on regular sheet of paper. Then I unwrapped one of the candies and cut off the silver ends and used the middle part of the label as my guide. I left the original wrappers on all the other bars and I only covered the part of the wrapper that told the name of the candy bar and left the silver ends showing. Using glue on one end I wrapped the little candy (like a cigar band) Viola! I had wrapped the little bar with a new wrapper that had a heart with the words Holly & Matt June 16, 2006 printed on it. They turned out great and only took about an hour of my time. ... View related article.
We eat whole wheat bread and we keep ours in a drawer in our kitchen island. We usually go through it fairly fast, so mold is not a problem. But, I have kept it in the fridge before, but due to not having enough space in the fridge to keep it there we moved it to the island drawer. I have never had a loaf stored in the fridge to dry out. As long as the bag is closed tightly and doesn't have a hole anywhere it should be kept in the fridge just fine. ... View related article.
I have never heard a fire story from a crockpot either. But I am a cautious person, so I will make sure my sink is empty and nothing is on the counters nearby and place the crockpot in my clean/dry sink while I am gone. That may not make any difference, but I feel better about leaving the crockpot on for several hours when I know that if it should explode (?) while I am gone, there is a chance the damage will be minimal! ...

My son has several t-shirts that, on cleaning day, just could not part with. I told him to come up with an idea so he could keep them. He decided he would take the best looking one and make a pillow out of it using the others as stuffing. It's a pretty heavy pillow but it's perfect for relaxing on the floor while watching a movie. Plus he learned the basics for sewing. Pretty good for an 11 year old. ... View related article.
