Clean your refrigerator coils -- You should do this twice a year to help keep your frig in top shape.  Just vacuum the condenser coils located underneath the refrigerator.  Use a long, nozzle vacuum attachment to do this.  I suggest more frequent cleanings if you have pets because pet hairs tend to pile up.  Your refrigerator will run more efficiently which will ultimately save you money.

Pork roast vs. pork cutlet vs. pork chop -- Do you know the difference?  Most folks are not familiar with a pig's anatomy.  Click here to see me illustrate the difference, so you'll be informed the next time you go shopping.

Nutritional yeast -- You know something is good for you when it has the name "nutritional" in it.  This is a non-active yeast full of protein and vitamins.  I love it because it adds a wonderful nutty and cheesy flavor to dishes.  It comes in flakes and powder form.  I often add a little to salads, casseroles, soups and pasta. Sprinkle some on popcorn or garlic bread.  Nutritional yeast is available at health food stores.
