Firework Safety
We are all concerned about keeping our children safe during the holiday weekend. Here are some good safety tips for preventing sparkler injuries to young children, from the National Council on Fireworks Safety:
* Children under the age of 12 shouldn’t use sparklers without VERY CLOSE adult supervision
* Always remain standing while using sparklers
Food Safety
Don’t make a simple mistake when preparing for your barbecue. Watch out for food borne illness with these great tips.
Ditch the DIET!
I don’t like to ever use the word “diet.” Finding and maintaining a healthy weight is all about creating a lifestyle you can live with, not a rigid plan you have to suffer through. Here are a couple of my favorite rules:
Mustard Glazed Salmon
Even if you don’t normally care for salmon, try this dish. The strong flavor of the mustard balances very nicely with the flavor of the salmon, making it milder. The sauce for this fish is very sticky. By lining your pan with foil, cleanup will be much easier.
