Depends on size (I answered 'Neither' but it's really 'Both!'). Small ones I just cut across the top, larger ones get either a V or cored.

White chocolate is usually flavored with vanilla, so if you don't like vanilla or the vanilla flavoring is not good, it's awful. I love vanilla, so *good* white chocolate is heaven. So often, howev...

I once "painted" a wooden birdfeeder with hot sauce because the squirrels kept chewing on the wood to get at the seeds. It worked until the next rain. You can even buy capsicum treated birdseed, ad...

Assuming you don't eat them all at once, how do you store these so that they don't all stick together?

One thing that the NPR story didn't mention was that before daily shampooing became the norm, most women wore their hair long and pinned it up or back somehow. Oily hair isn't as obvious with hairs...

I've got the IKEA Grundtal folding rack over the sink . The only problem is that, when loaded, the draine...

For the plastic ones: We used to use plastic gallon jugs as seed starter "greenhouses" in school. Cut the top third or so off (around the bottom of the handle if there is one) and knock a few holes...

This is why, when people ask, I say I have "vegetarian tendencies".

Given that my current kitchen is barely big enough for one person to cook in, two is right out! That said, my husband and I do sometime engage in "serial cooking" where we swap off (I'...

I found this to be a bit ironic for me---I'm always complaining that muffins (both bought and recipes) are too sweet and cake-y! I agree with angorian, if a "boughten" muffin is what y...

We'll be going to celebrate with a friend, so it'll probably be a "going out" weekend. I like to think of it as a time for inspiration! If I have time when we get back, I think I want ...

goodLife{eats}, I've got several, none of them from the Container Store, so keep looking! I think I found most of them at Home Depot or Lowes, but I might have picked up one or two from Target, or ...

Cashew butter. Rich, creamy, lots of good-type fats, and not as intensely flavored as other nut butters, so it goes well with nearly everything. It's good on toast or in oatmeal in the morning, as ...

I use them as gift bags. In fact, I now keep an eye out for particularly nice looking ones just for that purpose. bexsa, that was my thought too! Not the best logo for a "green" product.

Renata, it's income in the same way that your take home pay is income, even if you spend it all. There is a minimum transaction value, if I remember correctly, so you don't really have to worry abo...

Remember that you can make self-rising flour by adding about 1 1/2 tsp baking soda to regular flour (all purpose or cake). Add a little salt if the recipe doesn't call for it. Much easier than buyi...

KidMoe, I was just thinking the same thing--everything I've ever done that involved a tea tin and water (including just having them in damp climates) has ended up with rusted tins. I t...

I decided last year to try and only buy organic cotton clothing, but even when I can afford it, it's really hard as a plus size! Most "green" lines seem to be for teens or really slim people. I've ...

I almost always brought my lunch, but I do remember sitting with my bologna sandwich with a table of classmates eating mystery meat in gravy (also shipped in from another elementary school that had...

Try some quick breads--you should be able to substitute it in any recipe that calls for regular flour and baking powder. According to several sites online, 1 cup flour, 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 teaspoon bakin...
