I’m not a big fan of leftovers. I cook once a day for tonight’s dinner and tomorrow’s lunch. It was very difficult for me to handle leftovers. My family won’t eat leftovers easily. Looking for a solution, I figured out that leftovers look better and tastier with a different and refreshed look.

Here comes the good part. I bought the Griddler Express by Cuisinart, which I use to grill meat, or make Panini. Now I turn leftovers to finger licking sandwiches.

The key is to stock up of tortilla breads and mozzarella cheese. It’s easy, you can just cut up whatever you have add some kind of sauce, salt and pepper and cheese. Fold the bread and grill it. Immediatley you have a new and appealing meal to enjoy. If my leftover is dry I spread some butter on the bread otherwise just cheese and sauce. For Sauce, I use ketchup, or salad dressing, hot sauce, or simply mayonesa.

You don’t have to have panini maker to make this, my mom makes it in the oven. This technique helped me create a new meal with leftovers and enjoy it too. I hope this tip help you enjoy your leftovers too.

Until later,

I guess I’m used to google’s page layout. I have to get used to the  Cuil.com page layout. I actually liked that they had more information on each website, the fact that they have pictures on each block of information was a plus to me. But following the information was not easy to the eye.

The question in everyone’s mind is if Cuil.com will survive the G factor. I think with some creativity and good management why not. They have to create a new use for search engines, something unique to be able to get people to use their website for that tool. Google is a brand that anyone who knows how to work a keyboard works with it in some point or another.  Its a brand that worked it’s way in our vocabulary, we use it as a verb in our sentences. It’s not easy to compete with this brand but not impossible, we have been suprised by the web world before !!

Until later,

I normally don’t offer ketchup to my kids except if we are eating out. They got to know we have ketchup at home when we had guests over that their daughter wouldn’t touch her food without ketchup. So now they get to have it with certain foods.

Something very creative and funny happened last night. May be creative and funny in my eyes!

We had burger for dinner so obviously, ketchup was on the table, both kids behaved very well ate and we cleaned. So far so good :) I was working in the garden and my husband was cleaning the deck when I heard him calling my son in an emergency voice. ” Oh no don’t even dare .. ” then the sound of both kids crying and him saying: ” come upstairs I need your help” Read the rest of this entry »

There are lots of articles about the hazardous of the house hold cleaning products to ecology. It is very important to know how our way of living affects our surroundings.

To me any kind of chemical cleaner with few exception are harmful to the health of my family. I think even the smell or the residue of the cleaner is harmful. Read the rest of this entry »

The biggest problem is that they have to be ready to let go of bottle. I weaned my son when he was 1 week short of 2years old. I told him I’ve lost the bottle and that was it, he asked for it on the first day only. We switched to cipy cups; it was a bit difficult to get him to have plain milk at first but after a while he was fine with any kind of milk.

I weaned my daughter I guess too soon. I meant to wait until she was two years old, but because of the BPA in baby bottles. I decided to be on the safe side and wean her from the bottle. She had problem letting go for about a week, after that she was fine. Then after almost a month, they were playing with a pacifier, (my son asks for pacifiers occasionally to play with and make his stuffed animals his babies that suck pacifier).
