What type of homemade foods should you avoid while pregnant?
Q. I know to avoid homemade ice cream,and mayo. Is homemade banana nut bread one you should avoid?
Asked by Ava - Sun Feb 22 20:04:37 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The reason you want to avoid homemade ice cream and homemade mayo is because of the raw eggs in it. Avoid anything with raw eggs, undercooked or raw meat or soft cheese. For example: cesar salad, sushi, smoked salmon, anything with feta or bleu cheese, etc.

What homemade remedy can I use to keep the animals off of the furniture?
Q. My grandma has me finding this spray she calls "cat and dog off." Its supposed to help keep animals off of the furniture but i can't find anything along that line in the store. Does anyone know what she is talking about? Or any homemade solutions for this problem?

A. Get a spray bottle and every time the cat or dog gets on the furniture you give it a spray of water in the face. They will soon get the message. It does work and doesn't hurt the animal.

How do you make homemade dog food?
Q. I am pretty satisfied with commercial dog food and I have no problem sticking with it, but I would just like to know how to make nutritional homemade dog food. My dogs are a golden retriever, beagle, and dachshund if that information is needed. I would like advice also, like what supplements to put in the food, and the right portions, and a professional website would be the best. I don't really want just homemade dog food that isn't any better than commercial dog food. Please help out. Thanks.
Asked by Aaron - Wed Jul 4 00:44:27 2007 - - 3 Answers - 2 Comments
A. Do not feed your dog bones, especially cooked bones. Fragments can become lodged in the digestive tract. Canines in the wild who eat bones have the benefit of consuming hair and hide too, which have been found to pad the bone fragments and aid in their passing. Other foods to avoid that are dangerous for dogs are chocolate, avocados, mushrooms, macadamia nuts, grapes, raisins, onions, and garlic. Try one of these easy dog food recipes and watch your pup smile.

Why is my homemade popcorn is hard and tough to bite through, how do I make softer popcorn?
Q. I just made homemade popcorn for the 2nd time using a pot on the stove. It is hard to bite through and some of them have a really hard center. Am I doing something wrong? Maybe using too much oil? Thanks!

A. Use 1/3 cup popcorn to 2 tbsp oil (olive oil is preferred). Cook the popcorn on MEDIUM heat only! Let a little of the steam to escape, and shake continuously when you start hearing popping. The best thing to do is to get the Wabash Valley Whirley-Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper. I have this, and I LOVE it. Perfect popcorn every time, and no widows or orphans!

How long can homemade pasta sauce keep in the refrigerator?
Q. I received a gift of homemade pasta sauce (with vegetables in it) and keep it in the refrigerator. How long can it be kept safely in there before I would need to throw it away? Thank you.

A. A general safety rule for any food is 7 to 10 days in the fridge. Pasta sauce does very well in the freezer too, about 8 to 12 month before freezer burn sets in. I wouldn't jar it, then store in your pantry... I just don't trust that idea, unless it is vacuum packed sealed and sanitized.

How long do homemade pie crusts last in the freezer?
Q. Nothing is better than a homemade pie crust, but sometimes I need one quickly and do not have the time to start from scratch. I was thinking about making several and freezing them, than when I am in need of a crust, I would just thaw and roll. I thought this would also be good for around the holidays, when I am baking several pies. I'm not sure if this would affect the outcome of the crust. Does anyone do this? Do you store them in a freezer bag or a plastic container? If so, how long do they generally last?

Asked by coulbean - Thu Nov 29 18:59:33 2007 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Biscotti are about the best thing you can bake in advance for gift-giving. They keep at least a week at room temperature if well wrapped up, and they freeze beautifully for at least a couple of months. (If you're going to dip them in chocolate or anything, I wouldn't do that before freezing.) Plus they're sturdy, so they won't turn to dust if you send them by mail. I don't find that the type of fat you use makes any difference to how well they keep; I always stick to butter because it tastes best. Baking biscotti when it's icy outside sounds great--have fun.

A. If you don't know how to sew, you can buy a gingham printed dress for less than half of what some of the costumes go for. Target has some and there is one at Macy's here: After this you can buy a white apron at a craft store like Michael's or AC Moore or maybe you have one at home or one of your friends does. On the apron you can make a little bear out of felt or construction paper (3 circles for head and ears and make a face on it) and glue/pin it on the apron. You can also adorn the apron with ribbon or lace on the edges to dress it up. You can put the extra ribbon in your hair and maybe draw on freckles with brown eyeliner. Good luck!

There's an excellent book out for anyone interested in feeding home-made (with raw meat) - Dr. Pitcairn's Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats. It's got lots of recipes, as well as all the additives you need and what each one is for. If you decide to feed home-made, you're responsible for making sure your dog gets a complete diet. This book will make sure you're giving him that. It has a lot more info on dog care than nutrition, that's just the best reason to get this book.

Can anyone recommend a homemade, organic and safe alternative to Confidor?
Q. I have a major sooty mould problem which has spread to three somewhat concealed plants during winter. They are located in a somewhat damp spot which does not have all day sun and are shaded by some older gums (very tall). I am reluctant to simply cut them out due to privacy concerns and would prefer to try treating them first. If you are able to suggest a homemade product, could you say how to make it or where I might find the recipe! I am in western Sydney, Australia. Thanks so much!
Asked by thing55000 - Sat Sep 22 05:39:54 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Sooty mold is a mold that grows on the honeydew of sap sucking insects like aphids, mealybugs, scale, and whiteflies. Control the insects and you control the sooty mold. The honeydew drops from the insects to the leaves and twigs. Wind-blown sooty mold spores that stick to the honeydew then have a suitable medium for growth. When spores germinate, they send out black fungal strands (mycelial threads) that cover the plant tissue and cause the discoloration.

Q. I have a major sooty mould problem which has spread to three somewhat concealed plants during winter. They are located in a somewhat damp spot which does not have all day sun and are shaded by some older gums (very tall). I am reluctant to simply cut them out due to privacy concerns and would prefer to try treating them first. If you are able to suggest a homemade product, could you say how to make it or where I might find the recipe! I am in western Sydney, Australia. Thanks so much!

A. Sooty mold is a mold that grows on the honeydew of sap sucking insects like aphids, mealybugs, scale, and whiteflies. Control the insects and you control the sooty mold.
