Any tips for full or half pass check-ins? I had a salad with the only sugar I could find was in the dressing (listed eighth).
-
DietID_TeamDietitians If you have just a little added sugar, such as that found in salad dressing, that would qualify as half a pass for sure. A great no added sugar salad dressing is this shallot dijon dressing by...

Learning how to poach eggs! Anyone have tips?
Made a speedy breakfast with @akhilg2002 of mushrooms topped with poached eggs and homegrown basil (yes the basil is still alive!). Not perfect, but these eggs turned out better than before. I trie...

JenniferEmilson Yes- while you are waiting for your water to boil, and then drop to a moderate summer, crack your egg onto a small sieve (like you light use for tea) set over a cup. Let it drain all the loose bits...

DietID_TeamDietitians So interesting that so much of the gut biome is so unknown. Wonder who would be a big funder of this research

This happens to me all the time because I always over-buy tomatoes. Slice and toss the moldy parts. If you have more than one, these are great for a shakshukah. You can also make a tomato jam like...
