You're welcome, Geri K. I tried it once years ago with seeds from cherries and had no luck. I did some research and found most of the fruit trees sold commercially are grafts - meaning the cheery tree, for example is attached to a root base of a sturdier tree that has desired characteristics...

I do use cooking spray on the crock pot before I add anything. It seems to make clean up easier but I am wondering how healthful it is.

You make a good point Christine. When you strip all the processed foods out of your grocery budget, there is more room for the organic and whole foods.

Hi Geri, There is actually a trick to it. The seeds have to go through a period of cold just as they would outdoors. Many people collect the seeds, bring them inside to their warm houses, clean them and forget about them. Without the period of cold called stratification, the seeds won't...

I have made gifts for Christmas every year for the last 20 or years. Sometimes it's kitchen items.. One year I did those meals in a jar - like muffin mixes or soup mixes. They are pretty and useful. I gave those to teachers, the mailman, etc. Some years I have done baskets with homemade cookies...

The liners seem to me to be a thinner plastic than what you normally would see for a freezer bag. I believe they are meant to be disposable. I agree they are somewhat expensive but I suppose that's true of anything that is a convenience item.

I have always had good luck with Henry Fields http://www.henryfields.com/catalog_request and Vermont Bean (which is more than beans) http://www.vermontbean.com/ This year I am going to try buying all heirloom seeds and then saving seeds at the end of the season.

It can be challenging to eat a healthy diet these days. Convenience foods and processed foods are loaded with chemicals and preservatives we can barely pronounce. Even fresh produce can be laden with chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, making them relatively unsafe to eat. Because organic...

Yes, Christine, I really am! I hope Barbara G comes up with some great ideas!

I absolutely love menu planning! I would love ideas, sample menus, tips, etc on this topic. I recently took a full time job and I am now working 10-12 hour days 4 days a week. Having a crock pot menu plan could be a real life saver for me! Bring it on!

I have been reading a lot about processed foods, chemicals, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, etc and their effect on our bodies and health. A lot of illnesses that are trending now can be traced back to the inclusion of these things in our diet. Diabetes, autism and arthritis are just a...

If you don't like to do a lot of prep work all at once then plan a few meals for the week where you buy double or triple amonts of the ingredients,. When you prepare dineer for that day, double or triple it and freeze the leftovers. You've done the prep work once and made 2 or 3 mrals from the...

I hope you all had a beautiful Christmas and that you have a happy and prosperous New Year!

I don't know how I missed this thread! Here's my LATE contribution: Cranberry-Mustard Pork Loin 8 Servings Prep: 15 min. Cook: 4 hours Ingredients 1 boneless pork loin roast (2 pounds) 1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce 1/4 cup Dijon mustard 3 tablespoons brown sugar...

I have been taking D3 for years. It is wonderful!

There is a lot of information coming to light that says this is just not necessarily true. What is true is that Americans do tend to consume too much sodium because of all the fast food and processed foods we eat. However, sodium is important to the proper functioning of nerve and muscle cells...

Those are really beautiful! Wish someone would give me one! lol

Oh! Let me know how it turns out for you!

What will they think of next? I am content with the models that allow you to program a time factor and then switch to "warm" when that has passed. I can't imagine ever needing to control the crock pot remotely but I guess some have a need! lol
