Three Pantry Items You Would Replace Immediately

Diane Foster @DianeScorpio (22) • Nottingham, England 30 Oct

If your cupboards vanished today, which 3 shelf-stable items would you replace first? For me, it would be olive oil, dried pasta, and black pepper. (And I always have Parmesan in the fridge)

When I was a baby my mother used olive oil and cornstarch on me. I used the same on my children because it is edible. If a baby puts a hand on the oil and then in the mouth, or on the cornstarch, it's okay. It's food. Not so...

Gosh, I am not liking the taking of my morning dose of olive oil and nighttime dose of apple cider vinegar. The vinegar I am taking right now is old and very strong. It takes all I can muster to get it down. But, I am seeing...

rakski @rakski (156547) • Philippines 8 Apr 23

Have you ever tried using olive oil in baking? I used it in salads and cooking too but never tried it in baking. Olive oil has a certain distinct smell and taste that differentiate it from other oil. I usually...

A yummy and simple salad.

The Horse @TheHorse (238338) • Walnut Creek, California 18 Sep 21

As many of you know I love hearts of palm. They can be used in any salad in which one might have been tempted to use artichoke hearts. But their color and texture make them unique. I recently had an afternoon snack consisting...

Do's and Dont's

LindaOH @LindaOHio (222624) • United States 27 Apr 20

Here are some healthy do's and don'ts to think about. DON'T buy olive oil in clear glass. The light degrades the heart-healthy oil. DO smell yourself 30 pounds lighter. People who smelled green apple, banana or peppermint...

Do you ever just buy something that you don't need, just because? Well, I was referred by a co-worker to this local specialty olive oil (and balsamic vinegar) shop that has a crazy variety of "infused" olive oils and balsamic...

I have invented a new dish, never thought of by anyone else anywhere!

The Horse @TheHorse (238338) • Walnut Creek, California 9 Sep 19

They say "necessity is the mother of invention," and I believe I experienced that the other night. My cupboard was almost bare, but I spied some pasta, some olive oil, some fresh garlic cloves, and (in the fridge) some grated...

What a mess

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (169489) • United States 27 May 19

It is my own fault. You may or may not know I make infused oils to be used in salves and such. I had some on the counter, behind my bread machine. I went to the kitchen to get started, and found I had turned over my calendula in...

What did you have for dinner last night?

The Horse @TheHorse (238338) • Walnut Creek, California 16 May 19

I seem to go in cycles when it comes to food. I'll become "addicted" to something, buy it every time I go shopping, and then get tired of it after a couple of months. Such is the case with Trader Joe's Mandarin Orange Chicken....

The Horse @TheHorse (238338) • Walnut Creek, California 25 Aug 17

As some of you know, I tend to graze for breakfast, and that means that lunch is important to me. I spent the morning writing progress notes for my work with the "troubled " kids, and all I had to eat was some lox, some cheese and...
