Ok, I think that this is really ridiculous especially with all of this "politically correct" crap out there my 10 year old daughter is not have the traditional Valentine's Day party at school. Instead they are having a "Healthy Heart Celebration" and concentrating on heart healthy foods. They made some suggestions for foods i.e. 100% juice, granola, peanut butter and crackers, unsalted baked pretzels, fruit and oatmeal cookies. Ok these foods are not going to fly with 10 year olds so I am looking for some creative healthy foods that are also kid friendly. Any suggestions. Thanks so much for your help.

i read an article that said soy products are bad for you. it also said that even if you dont eat tofu like most vegetarians, soy is used as a filler in a lot of products, including jars of meat spaghetti sauces. so the whole population is at risk. what do you think?

okay so for anyone out there who knows of the diet coke and mentos trick, where you put 4 mentos in a 2 liter of diet coke, this is for you. Does it really HAVE to be DIET coke? why does everyone use diet coke instead of regular coke? does diet coke have something special that regular coke doesnt, which makes the coke erupt from the bottle?
thanks
cya

I would like some fairly easy recipes or ideas that use the Oreo Mint Creme cookies. I don't like them by themselves. I'd rather not have the recipes to the grasshopper pie or any kind of ice cream pie, please. Thank you!!

Truffles

Makes about 20 truffles

1 12-ounce package non-dairy chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
8 ounces non-dairy cream cheese, such as Tofutti's Better Than Cream Cheese
2 cups powered sugar
2 tablespoons flavored syrup, such as hazelnut or vanilla (optional)
chopped nuts (optional topping)
coconut flakes (optional topping)
1 cup non-dairy chocolate chips (optional topping)
Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler, saucepan, or microwave.

Put the non-dairy cream cheese in a food processor or high-powered blender and slowly add the sugar. Blend until well mixed. Then add the melted chocolate chips to the cream cheese mixture and blend until well mixed. If using flavored syrup, add the syrup to the mixture and blend for 30 seconds. Pour the blended mixture into a bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Once chilled, roll the mixture with your hands into bite-sized balls and place on a serving tray.

If using optional toppings, pour the nuts and/or coconut flakes into a shallow bowl and roll the chilled balls into them. Place the truffles on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

For truffles with a hard chocolate coating, after the chilled mixture has been rolled into bite-sized balls, melt 1 cup of non-dairy chocolate chips. Dip the balls into the melted chocolate, place on a tray, and refrigerate for 2 additional hours.

NOTE: I want answers from people who have actually made alfredo. I'm not looking for people to link me to some online cookbook to recipes they've never made. We're talking from scratch high quality here, like you'd see in a upscale authentic Italian restaurant with great food.

I do have a recipe of my own, I'm just looking for others with experience and things to try to improve.

Is there any way to tell how hot a jalapeno pepper is when you are picking them out at the grocery store? I like hotter ones but it seems like I get milder ones more often than not. Is there a way to tell without actually trying it? Thanks!

So it's common knowlege that drinking water daily is good for you. But what type? Any bottled water? Mineral water, tap water, carbonated water? Does water with flavoring count as good?

I have a recipe that calls for Savor Salt and it seems to me that Accent is about the same. Can anyone shed some light on this? Is it O.K. to substitute Accent for Savor Salt in a recipe?

I make bread rolls in a bakery on a large scale using the following systems...a mixer, divider, prover, oven and coolers. After baking and cooling the rolls...it is evident that the surface is blistered. Does anyone have any experience on how to remove these blisters on the rolls.

what are the factors that cause these blisters on the bread.

The roll structure is excellent except for the blistering on the surface...i.e. the upper surface seems seperated from the inner portion of the rolls by an air gap.

Just wondering why they have guard-like employees at the door checking for membership cards? Why would you go there without a membership? You can't buy anything without it and everyone knows it.
