Breads
I’m so dead serious about this. You see, it’s been bugging me for a long time that 2 of our 4 cats just love to eat breads and biscuits but they still eat the usual cat food. So, haha, my question is do you think it’s normal for them to eat those kinds of stuff?
Yeah it’s totally normal. Most cats love people most food. Just not most fruits and vegetables. But one’s really weird and she eats lettuce. Just make sure you don’t give them too much because it could be bad for them.
There are many medications that are used to control asthma-related symptoms and outbreaks. These prescription medications are well researched and very effective; however some individuals prefer to use natural asthma remedies to control their symptoms. Natural asthma remedies can work very well for some individuals, usually those with mild to moderate asthma conditions. Even when using natural asthma remedies, be sure to check with your doctor to ensure that there will be no complications or problems with existing medications. In addition, be sure to keep short-term or emergency inhalers available at all times in the case of a serious asthma attack.
Some of the most common natural asthma remedies include:
* Fish oil products – used as anti-inflammatories. These may be taken in liquid or capsule form. Be careful if you have any known food allergies, as fish oil may cause significant and severe reactions.
* Magnesium Supplements – magnesium works with the muscles in the body to increase relaxation and prevent tightening of the muscles around the air passageways.
* Antioxidants – these may include green tea supplements, Vitamin E and selenium and other products that are designed to minimize the free radicals in the human system. Free radicals are often the cause of colds, coughs and other respiratory problems that can increase the irritation of the respiratory system.
* Chamomile, rosemary, spearmint, thyme and cloves contain many antioxidants and also work to increase the relaxation of muscles, as well as induce sleep. Some mixtures of the various herbs are available in health food stores in the forms of teas or powders and capsules.
* Ginseng and licorice, among other herbs, are often used in Asia as a treatment for asthma and may be found at health food stores. Generally these treatments work most effectively when taken consistently and for long periods of time.
Adding fresh fruits and vegetables to the diet and decreasing both high-fat and high-sugar items also may be part of a process of natural asthma remedies. Controlling highly processed and chemical-laden foods may eliminate any simultaneously occurring food allergies that may be increasing the severity of your asthma conditions. Avoid foods that are made with white flour and try to choose whole grain alternatives. Whole-wheat pastas, breads and even dinner rolls are a wonderful alternative to the highly processed white breads usually consumed in Western diets.
Avoiding any type of smoke, either first or second hand, and trying to stay away from environmental pollutants such as car exhausts and burning fireplaces is also important. Finally, taking a good, high-quality multivitamin supplement every day is another one of the factors that contributes to the success of natural asthma remedies.

I cant ever seem to find the type of olive oil they use in Italian restaurants. I hear extra virgin olive oil or whatever is the best, but what brand?
Any type of Extra Virgin Olive Oil will do excellently with bread, whether it’s for brushing on top of the bread for garlic toast, or to use for dipping.
My favorite recipe for dipping is:
EVOO
fresh basil, torn – not chopped
4-5 cloves of garlic, minced fine
‘tich of salt & pepper
‘tich of oregano – dried.
Using a fork, push down and mix together ingredients. Let sit for several hours, and every now-and-then, remash with fork.
Now, the next question would be…what type of bread to use? LOL
French, Sourdough or any that you like!
Enjoy – and good eating!
I have smaller pans, little baby ones that are like 5 by 2
and 8 by 4
Basically, how much do I fill a pan when baking it?
You can fill your pans at least 1/2 full, and possibly 2/3, depending on how much your particular batter rises. Have you ever made this batter in a regular loaf pan? How full did you fill that pan? You can fill the smaller pans to the same level. Don’t fill the pans more than 2/3 full.
More tips: If you want your quick breads to rise higher, grease only the bottoms of the pans. To remove them, run a thin knife around the edges of the pan before turning them out. For more evenly rounded tops, bake at a lower temperature (325-350 F). Put the small loaf pans on a sheet pan before putting in the oven. And don’t overbake the smaller pans. Start checking them after 25 mins.

Most people don’t know what Candida yeast is or what it does. But, Candida yeast is a fungus that can cause some serious infections in both healthy and unhealthy people alike. The main strain of Candida yeast that causes the most problems due to infections is Candida albicans, which usually cause infections such as thrush in infants and children. When studied in a laboratory setting, Candida yeast usually forms as in round, white colonies of Candida on agar plates that are used to cultivate fungi.
Candida yeast is a fungus and comes from the fungus family of Saccharomycetaceae. While this word is long and hard to say, it is a pretty nasty group that likes to cause infections throughout the bodies of humans and other mammals. The majority of infections that Candida yeast causes are infections in the mouth, such as thrush, and can be caused by acrylic dentures in people who wear them on a regular basis. The form of infection that is caused by dentures and other appliances that are made of acrylic for the mouth is called oral candidiasis. While this fungus does live in all humans, those with weakened immune systems are more subseptable to infections due to Candida. So, what do you look for to know if you have an infection due to some form of Candida? Here are some symptoms to discuss with your doctor:
Anxiety
Mood swings
Constant fatigue
Skin infections or Acne
Problems with focusing on tasks
Irritability
Intense cravings for sweets or breads
Outbursts of anger
Headaches
Itchy skin
Obsessive compulsive disorder
Stomach or digestive problems
If you look at this list and see that you have one or two of these, don’t worry too much, as this doesn’t mean that you have a bad infection. But, if you have more than four of these symptoms, you need to discuss them with your doctor as they can be signs that you have an infection caused by a form of Candida or a food allergy. If you have a weakened immune system or have had a long period of stress in your life, you might be subseptable to a form of Candida infection and should discuss this with your doctor as well.
One easy way to treat a Candida infection is to immediately cut out all high-carb and sugary foods that you normally eat. These include: breads, fruits, candy, and other foods that contain a lot of carbs or sugars. These foods all produce sugars, which are a growth springboard for Candida. If you cut out these foods, and suddenly get an overwhelming craving for chocolates, fruits, or breads, then you need to see a doctor and keep on this diet, as this is a major sign that you have an overgrowth of Candida in your body.
If you find that you have a Candida infection, then you need to stay on a strict no-carb/no-candy diet until you have completed your treatment and your doctor feels that you can start on these foods once more. No matter what type of treatment your doctor prescribes for you, you should complete the whole treatment. Just remember that Candida lives in all humans, so you cannot get completely away from it, but you can be careful not to allow it to run your life.
