Household uses of borax to save time and energy
Borax. A seemingly innocuous ingredient you sometimes see on recipes for homemade bubbles. It may seem like just another boring ingredient, but this combination of sodium, oxygen, water, and boron packs a powerful punch and can be used in a ton of ways around the house. Clean My Space shows us just a few of the fun ways you can use this inexpensive, natural ingredient in the video at the end of the article. A few ways you can incorporate this handy formula into your daily routine include: Cleaning the toilet: Forget bleach and hours of scrubbing. Clean your pans: Borax can help restore your bummed out cookware to sparkling clean. Bug killer: Bugs in the kitchen? Nix Mold: Mix borax with a bit of water to create a thick paste. Wash your unders: The washer is killer on bras. Fertilize plants: Use caution as too much will kill your plants, but if your soil is short on a boron, using a tiny bit of borax could actually help your plants grow.

With my husband 3rd generation military and much of our family and friends serving, July 4th really brings out the red, white, and blue for me. Now last year I made Firecracker sugar cookies and you all seemed to love them. In fact the internet loved them so much that they went viral. Conceptually these are easy, but because I used cupcakes it tends to be a bit more compact and therefore your “surprise” will need to be a lot more detailed. First you will need to make up your blue and red cake. While your red and blue cake is baking, make up your white batter. Cut out small stars. Once cooled, decorate!

Maybe you’re waiting for news of a promotion, perhaps a new job, entry into university, or how you did on a big test.

So we wait with a boxed crib in an empty room, and try to distract ourselves from wondering, who this little one will be?

Almond Meal Pancakes
We really enjoy pancakes, but even when I serve them with a protein such as sausage, we can end up feeling like we had too many carbohydrates. That’s why recently I decided to try making almond meal/flour pancakes. This recipes only makes five pretty large pancakes, but that was enough for us. As you can see, the pancakes were pretty thick, and we found out they are also very filling. The picture doesn’t show it, but we did put syrup on them. If you mix this together in a four cup glass measuring cup, you can then easily pour the batter onto the skillet. Almond Meal Pancakes Author: Linda Etherton Recipe type: Breakfast Ingredients 1½ cup almond meal 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon salt 1½ Tablespoon sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 3 eggs ⅓ cup water Instructions Mix together the almond meal, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and sugar.

issues final rule on safety and effectiveness of antibacterial soaps
Español The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today issued a final rule establishing that over-the-counter (OTC) consumer antiseptic wash products containing certain active ingredients can no longer be marketed. This final rule applies to consumer antiseptic wash products containing one or more of 19 specific active ingredients, including the most commonly used ingredients – triclosan and triclocarban. “Consumers may think antibacterial washes are more effective at preventing the spread of germs, but we have no scientific evidence that they are any better than plain soap and water,” said Janet Woodcock, M.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). The agency issued a proposed rule in 2013 after some data suggested that long-term exposure to certain active ingredients used in antibacterial products — for example, triclosan (liquid soaps) and triclocarban (bar soaps) — could pose health risks, such as bacterial resistance or hormonal effects.
