But that's okay. A real hot dog now and then won't kill me. It's all in moderation, right?<BR/><BR/>Lucy, my kids are weird.<BR/><BR/>Heather, I wish it made me crave healthy stuff. Although the more healthy I eat, the less junk I can eat. I still crave it, but I find I can't eat as much. So I guess that's a good thing.<BR/><BR/>Colleen, it's not so much that you can't saute them together, but you shouldn't. At least that's what this article or book I read said. I wish I could find it now, but I've been reading so much, I can't remember where it was.Danica Favoritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06922540628183027043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19234602.post-23969513887828235502007-12-14T14:49:00.000-07:002007-12-14T14:49:00.000-07:00I burn so much of my supposed cooking that I had ...I burn so much of my supposed cooking that I had stipulation about it in my wedding vows.

The fat rises to the top and hardens, then you pull it out while it's still cold and finish the simmer. That way you don't have to do nearly as much skimming.<BR/><BR/>Which side of the chicken is the right side?Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14651080331604028330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19234602.post-52884242880085196682007-12-13T21:48:00.000-07:002007-12-13T21:48:00.000-07:00Yeah, all the nutritionists I know say soy is one ...Yeah, all the nutritionists I know say soy is one of the worst things you can put in your body.<BR/><BR/>For me, the issue is that it's a phytoestrogen, which mimics estrogen, and I have an estrogen dominance problem, so it's caused a lot of health issues for me. :( The trouble is, most processed foods these days contain soy and soy by-products.<BR/><BR/>I don't know about soy reducing cholesterol, however, there's so many other great healthier foods that'll do it (like oatmeal), so I've never thought much about that one. Although to be honest, my cholesterol is fine.<BR/><BR/>Mmmm.... hot dogs....<BR/><BR/>Good to know about it interfering with medicines, although I've done everything I can to cut it out of my diet, so that's no longer an issue. Just one more reason to avoid soy, I guess.Danica Favoritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06922540628183027043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19234602.post-25339806822758281722007-12-13T21:26:00.000-07:002007-12-13T21:26:00.000-07:00Eating health is really hard.

It actually causes issues with the thyroid hormones. <BR/><BR/>You should also check all of your medicines. There are many that soy prevents your body from using.Wakelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01964838516293825018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19234602.post-91845675894434675922007-12-13T20:35:00.000-07:002007-12-13T20:35:00.000-07:00I love hotdogs also!I love hotdogs also!Gelliannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083439155726774401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19234602.post-74235227119896554942007-12-13T17:23:00.000-07:002007-12-13T17:23:00.000-07:00My doctor told me one serving of soy per day helps...My doctor told me one serving of soy per day helps to lower cholesterol.<BR/><BR/>How can all those people who eat tofu (which I think is disgusting...but I can tolerate soy milk) be wrong???Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04653282356172573799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19234602.post-82787370593283792562007-12-13T16:52:00.000-07:002007-12-13T16:52:00.000-07:00I didn't know soy is bad for you.
