The best tip I can give a dog owner is to plan breaks for eating. My dog is a well seasoned traveler but will get a little green if we put her in the car immediately after eating. We now plan 30 minute meals stops for her...and us. We find a little place we can get dinner and she can sit with us (more difficult in the cold, we've sat in the car before). We feed her right after we get out of the car. If she has 30 minutes, all the food stays settled. If not...well, its a mess. I also recommend travelling with a few trash bags and some extra blankets...just in case. Tips for Feeding Pets on a Road Trip |

Some kind of fruit cider. Maybe something cool like dragon fruit or something. Enter to Win a Copy of True Brews by Emma Christensen Cookbook Giveaway on The Kitchn |

It depends. Most week nights we are satisfied with a simple protein and steamed vegetables. I can have everything prepped and cooking in 15. On the table in 30. If we have something more involved...casserole, soup, stew, etc etc. its an hour, no matter how little time I promise myself and my husband it will be.

My experience with mint is spearmint is what most grocery stores sell as "mint" when you buy it fresh. Peppermint tastes very different. To me, fresh spearmint tastes nothing like spearmint candy. Its different. Its good and fresh tasting. Does \"Mint\" Mean Peppermint or Spearmint? Good Questions |

I use paste all the time. I don't use it in things like chocolate chip cookies, but I use it anywhere I want the bean more visible and bright. I love it in meringues, whipped cream, angel food cake, delicate cookies, pudding, and my favorite, ice cream. What Can I Make With Vanilla Paste? Good Questions |

The low carb/low glycemic index is good to think of. I've been a diabetic for nearly 30 years. It really is about eating healthy and balanced. I eat a lot of lean meats. I eat a ton of vegetables. I eat carbs but go light on them. High fat foods, especially when combined with carbs, can make your bloodsugar go a bit crazy. Things like pizza are really hard on my body. I make my own to make it leaner. I usually stick to a slice and a side salad. I would really encourage your BIL to keep track of his bloodsugar an hour or two after meals. See how different foods affect him. I don't do well with some weird things. I do fine with pears but terrible with apples. Its a big learning game. He will learn his body and learn how to eat. I eat the same things everyone else eats, I'm just careful about how much of things I know are risky to me. Ideas for Diabetic-Friendly Meals for the Whole Family? Good Questions |

This isn't really a cleaning tip, but an avoiding cleaning tip. My dishwasher is beside my kitchen sink . I think many are. I store my dish brush in the dishwasher. When I need it, I get it out and use it, then stick it back in. It gets cleaned with every wash. Ten Household Items You Can Clean in One Minute (And Probably Should) |

I sometimes have a problem with my beets sticking. I found a great tip that helps me. I first wrap my beets in parchment paper. Then wrap the paper in foil. Its a little messier to unwrap, but not bad. How to Roast Beets in the Oven Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn |

Funny (actually not funny at all), I just did this for a friend. There are these nice foil containers that have foil lids at the store. They are small square containers. I used these and made some chicken pot pies, lasagna, beef stroganoff, mac and cheese, chicken noodle soup, vegetable soup (I didn't put the soup in the foil containers), meat loaf, and mashed potatoes. I also put in some marinated chicken breasts and pork tenderloin. Put instructions on how to cook on top that can be ready by a non-cooker in case someone else is heating up food for her. It was a full weekend of cooking, but it was enough food for dinner for 2 weeks. I chose frozen food because so many other brought ready made stuff. I also took over some more of the foil containers for any food brought to her that would freeze well. She has a full freezer right now which gives me peace of mind.

Rice freezes pretty well. Mashed potatoes do too. Not perfect, but good. Mac and Cheese. You may want to ask her what sounds good to her. When my stomach is sick, I crave bread and biscuits (I don't normally eat a lot of bread or greasy things), my brother wants spaghetti and pizza. Everyone is different.

My favorite thing was my morning breakfast roll. Eggs and tasty cheese. I'm not sure if it was so good because I was starving or if it was really just good. What Are Must-Try Australian Foods? Good Questions |
