healthy cooking techniques

When cutting back on sodium, fat, and cholesterol, how you cook is just as important as what you cook. You can prepare foods with little or no oil for a healthier way of cooking.

Bake: Since baking generally does not require that you add fat to the food, it is a great alternative for cooking.

Microwave: This is a good alternative because it's fast and doesn't add any fat or calories.

Steam: Steaming is a way to keep all the nutrients in the food as well as the flavor.

cleaning smelly hands

Whether fish, garlic, onion or some other food that leaves your hands smelly. Rub your fingers thoroughly with the bottom of a stainless steel spoon under running water. Then wash your hands with soap. The metal magically neutralizes the fumes!

Baking soda also works wonders. Lightly wet your hands and then sprinkle on baking soda. Rub the soda all over yourhands, then rinse the soda and odors away.
