Years of chopping, cutting and slicing on your wooden cutting board can be gained by treating your board with care. Following these wooden cutting board basics can lengthen the life of your board.

1) Once every several weeks, depending on use, wipe on an even coat of mineral oil onto the work surface of the cutting board.

2) When moisture soaks into the wood, it expands and softens affecting the strength of the glued joints. Therefore, you should not allow any type of moisture to stand on the block for long periods of time. This includes brine, water, blood and wet meats.

It’s the American Dream: “If I could just lose a little bit of weight…” The problem for many Americans is that they fall quickly into the trends. They’ve tried it all: the workout videos, the “as seen on T.V.” gadgets, the low-carb cookbooks, the three-day diet, celery, melons, and green tea. The problem for many is that without a serious change of lifestyle, “fads” is all there is. In reality, the only way to lose the weight and keep it off is to change your lifestyle. The South Beach Diet is a unique way to not only jump start your weight loss program, but also develop healthy eating habits that will continue to help you lose weight, and most importantly, keep it off. The place that a lot of diets and programs fail is with the promise of fast weight loss. Most of these plans can deliver the results that their subscribers expect. The problem is that once they have seen the results that they want, they fall back into their old habits and the weight quickly returns. With the South Beach Diet, there are three clear stages to help you build a healthy program, whether you are obese, or just a little bit overweight. During the first stage of your weight loss program, all carbohydrates are restricted. This stage lasts for only two weeks, after which (during stage two) restricted items are slowly introduced back into your diet. During the first stage of the South Beach Diet, you can expect to see a weight loss of about eight to fourteen pounds. During the second stage you will continue to lose weight at a healthy rate of about two pounds a week. The final stage is called maintenance, and is not just a weight loss program, but a way of life. The best diet to lose weight is more known as the south beach diet. Many people who followed this diet lose weight fast.

Having gathered our belongings together my wife and I, along with our motley collection of kids, all headed off to the US to create a new life. With new opportunities, new experiences and many expectations, we bid farewell to Old Blighty and departed for the New Land. Of course, the dream is one thing- reality is quite something else, and it has been a learning curve.

Don’t read this article on desert recipes expecting to get ideas for sweet after dinner treats. Don’t read it for tips on healthy ends to nutritious meals either. If that’s what you expect, there is some confusion. The often sweet end to a meal is a dessert, while a desert is an often sandy and hot but always dry area. Let’s talk about cooking in the desert.

There can’t be a discussion of desert recipes without mentioning the most important cooking tool in the desert. That’s the sun. It’s a tremendous source of heat, particularly in hot deserts where temperatures can reach 150F and even higher. If harnassed, it can mean cooking without modern appliances like microwaves, stoves or even gas or charcoal grills.
