I do this too and save tons of money. Besides Trader Joes, a local (cheaper) version of Whole Foods and every now and then the regular grocery store for some items, I go to Target for ...

This is a sweet little house. I would paint it buttercup yellow with white or bright blue trim.

These bottles could be very useful, in the right situations, and I would definitely give them a try. A suggestion about cleaning...especially for germophobes... try using a drop or tw...

What a cute idea. I can suggest... A once-popular dip made with canned deviled ham and cream cheese and/or sour cream. Add a few shots of hot sauce. And for...

Perfect.....for breeding tens of thousands of mosquitoes in each one of those little rain-filled indentations.

I still like detergent and good old-fashioned borax, the 20 Mule Team stuff. I use these together in the wash and there is no need for any fabric softener. Clothes always come out of ...

the making of this sandwich is my favorite scene in that movie.

So tiny but so completely livable! Wonderful space!

I have an Italian friend (from Rome) who makes fennel braised in cream...with the original full cup of cream....and it's absolutely delicious. While this version with less cream might...

I'm with the pale-yellow-and-white-trim group. It was my first impression when I saw the photo of your beautiful home. Such a friendly house needs a friendly colour.

I just bought a square melamine salad plate at Target to be my new bathroom counter tray. It cost about $2 or $3, it's the perfect size for what I needed, it's pretty much indestructi...

ee....I read somewhere that Bourdain was overheard seriously bad-mouthing Padma, her knowledge of food, and ability as a show host. Don't know if this is true, but it wouldn't be a stretch.

The reason why the home-canned tomatoes broke down easily and the canned ones needed to be chopped with a wooden spoon is calcium chloride. It's added by manufactures so tomatoes hold their shape i...

Another alternative to fabric softener or dryer sheets... use a half cup of borax in the wash with your laundry soap.

Here in the land of seriously hard, scaly water, I just successfully removed about a 1/4 inch of hard white buildup with vinegar and baking soda on my bathroom faucet! I put about 2 tablespoons of ...

This is all good advice. I know I'm going to start doing the vinegar/downy ball thing. Finding a little metal pot of some neighbor's strawberry lipgloss melted all over my dryerful of...

Another simple soup I make all the time is a recipe I found in a Suzanne Somer's book..(she has some really tasty recipes)....It's a pureed broccoli soup. -Sautee a chopped leek until...

Way back when I was a kid, the occasional recipe calling for Karo Syrup was the only way we consumed HCFS. Sadly not so today. Along with today's articles on mercury, the documentary ...

I saw Nigella Lawson make this once, but I haven't made it. Too afraid I'd be found in a coma, slumped over the empty trifle bowl still clutching a very large spoon. Car...

Two things I learned when buying a mattress: If you don't plan to buy the box spring make sure you check to see if this negates the mfg's warranty. And..they use fewer a...
