DietID_TeamDietitians 8yr Stellar #kitchentip! I also heard if you leave the faucet running while chopping onions, your eyes won't tear. This may be an old wive's tale, but it seems to work for me. Anyone have other tips for onion chopping? -
jodavis 8yr @rachna I love that one. I've tried chewing gum but I still cry! Would love to know others. -
unconventionalbaker 8yr I never run into this issue -- wearing contacts solves all your onion chopping probs 😄 although it also tends to make you the person everyone asks to chop their onions... 🙈 -
Riki 8yr I had no idea that contact lenses offer onion chopping related protection. Pretty cool :) -
unconventionalbaker 8yr @riki yep, never a tear! On the odd occasion I forget I'm not wearing them though -- it's torture 😁

darkchocolatepeanutbutter It's crazy to me how there is a nervous system in our gut! Many of our emotions are felt in our stomach like nervousness, anxiety and excitement. I highly recommend Gut by Giulia Enders!

DietID_TeamDietitians Fascinating. I'm looking forward to more research in this area. Confession - I take a daily probiotic probably because I fell for some sales pitch. But it works.

darkchocolatepeanutbutter @Rachna As long as it works for you :)
