neuro drink with a purpose How To Make Your Own Frozen Wraps Freezer Friendly I used to walk the freezer aisle in envy of all of those perfectly engineered frozen burritos. How did they managed to get everything in there in so it doesn't overcook when reheated? And sealed in with just a thin plastic wrapper? Well, I dare say I've conquered it. • Proper freezing: I freeze wraps using three freezing tools. • Key Ingredients: When making wraps to reheat, I find that they need at least a little cheese, especially if they're filled with vegetables. • Reheating Gently: Let your wraps thaw in the refrigerator overnight or at least for a few hours before reheating. What are your favorite wraps to freeze? Related: Lunch Recipe: Roasted Sweet Potato Wraps with Caramelized Onions and Pesto (Images: Stephanie Barlow)

The Car Repairs You Can (Seriously) Do Yourself, Despite Your Abilities Replacing belts is not something you just swap, at least on newer cars. On only cars, like early 80s or older, it was feasible. With cars from that era there was often a lot of room within the engine bay. On anything from the 90s on the bay is so cramped that you're going to have to do a lot of dismantling to get at belts. And if you're looking at swapping the timing belt then on some cars you might even have to lift the engine. Something like the alternator has the potential for being nearly as bad, depending on where the automaker likes to stick it. The first thing anyone considering to work on their car should do is buy a service manual. Brakes are relatively easy to do, but it's obviously a critical component on the car and there are things you need to keep in mind.
Oh, Ladycakes: Single serving deep dish apple pie | for Thom, with love Introducing for Thom, with love - a new series documenting the small batch recipes I create for my favorite man , chock full of love. Over the course of the past half decade, I've witnessed Thom eat his fair share of baked goods - and in the process I discovered that sometimes all he needs is a single serving of chocolate chip cookies because the man has no self control when cookies are involved. And if you leave an entire batch at his disposal, he'll eat them all and ask you to make more. Then he'll eat those, too, and complain about his stomach aching and you'll decide it's time to start developing small batch recipes. The recipes, they're good. Friends, I've been saying it for years: the best way to a man's heart is, without a doubt, through his stomach. Notes: If you prefer a sweeter pie crust, feel free to increase the sugar to one full teaspoon.
What 'Brain Food' Actually Does for Your Brain "it's just a chemical dosage that goes from your mouth to your brain" - sorry, but that is completely misleading, and in an article purporting to explain how food interacts with the brain, is downright false. It also ignores information given by the sources you actually quote. Neurotransmitters, with a few exceptions, are composed of protein-like molecules which are digested and absorbed by the gut like any other protein. The most basic knowledge of nutrition would tell you that foodstuffs are rendered down into absorbable monomers by acids and enzymes while they are still in the gut - i.e. outside the body. Even then, to enter the brain it's necessary to pass through another, more stringent selection system. This is why drug design for the nervous system is difficult - the drugs have to be either similar to a transported substance, and hence carried across, or fat soluble in order to bypass the barrier.
Easy Cranberry-Oatmeal Muffins Recipe Updated July 29, 2015. Nothing beats a basket of warm, fresh-baked Cranberry Oatmeal Muffins sitting out on your kitchen counter. There’s something about homemade muffins that just doesn’t compare to the purchased variety. Soaking the oats in the milk helps to make the muffins moist and tender, so don't skip that step. Preparation 1. 2. 3. 4. Add the oat mixture to the flour mixture, and stir just until blended. 5. Recipe Notes • Gentleness is the key when mixing the batter. How to Take Your First Coding Project from Start to Finish I've used various versions of Windows for years, Linux in various flavours for another few years, and OS X for about 2-3 years total. I'm now a convert to OS X (though proudly not part of the cult of Mac — I enjoy the OS, I don't want Jobs' offspring) for general desktop use, switching to Windows for gaming. I find app quality is generally significantly higher on OS X than Windows (and certainly Linux). Do note the word "generally" — some of this stuff is cross-platform and in some cases Windows offers something better! The drawback of this is that most of it costs a couple of bucks, but that's a small price to pay if you're using your computer for various tasks daily. The UNIX core and bash are very important to me. User experience also plays a large part. Then there are the extras, like the *virtual* immunity to malware.
