Rice would probably work. I use a recipe with rice for stuffing peppers and cabbage.
Also, whenever I make meat loaf, I use fresh bread rather than crumbs. I think it's moister that way. But, I also puree a veggies, like onion, carrots, mushrooms, and mix that in, too. It's very tasty.
Our dentist recommends Crest Whitestrips
Think I will try the Miralax and Fiber-One sm
bars. I tried the Activia yogurt and it seemed to work, but I am not crazy about the taste.
Doggie Fiber Question
 Okay, will someone set me straight on this, PLEASE!
If your dog's stools are not firm and well formed (mushy, but not diarrhea) do they need MORE fiber in their diet or LESS? I just can't seem to get this straight because I've been advised both ways.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Supplement to consider
There is a vitamin called OptiVite PMT (that is taken with a separate magnesium pill) that is shown to help with PMS. I don't know if it would help, but it may be worth a try.
Above all I'd write down the symptoms and what you feel daily in a diary to show to your doctor.
I'm sure your family thanks you for your insight--my mother had SEVERE mood problems but would never own up to it. She did some permanent damage with the things she would say and do to my bro and me.
I hope you find some help for your PMS.
Has anyone ever tried the dietary supplement
I know there are many knock off brands, but I'm referring to the original from South Africa (Desert Burn). I missed the piece on 60 minutes, GMA and a few other shows? Wondered if anyone has tried it. Thanks all for your replies and/or input.
Anyone sew at home to supplement MT? sm
I'm just getting back into sewing after being out of it for many years. I always did love to sew but working fulltime with 3 kids and a busy hubby didn't leave much time for it. Would like to make articles to sell on Ebay. Any ideas? I'm thinking in the line of scrub tops for nurses. I see they are pretty good movers.
You can take a Vitamin D supplement. nm

Armour thyroid supplement..sm
it is a natural, not synthetic or man made, form of thyroid replacement hormone. It contains T3 and T4 hormones, where synthroid only has T4.
Yes, stated in post I take supplement
and that is the gluc/chon daily, no I do not stretch because usually hit the floor on a run to do all I need to get done. I took arthritic swim class for the pain and it got worse so don’t feel exercise is all that.
My kitty also gets fatty acid supplement....

yeast infections (P.S)
nm
We don't know it's yeast......sounds more like
xx
I think it is a yeast allergy
Carbs and sugar feed the yeast in your body. I can't drink even a little alcohol without getting hungover or sick. My allergies were so bad that I used to have chronic earaches and toothaches (teethaches?). I also have an allergy to mold and all of the above make that worse. For that, I also stopped eating mushrooms, yogurt, soy sauce, vinegar. I love nuts though so I just eat a few at a time.
I have no sinus problems now except when pollen is bad and never get earaches or toothaches.
Probably a yeast infection - sm
I am overweight and have a pannus which I need to keep an eye on it underneath gets quite irritated and once I started to get a yeast infection I believe. I just used the athletes foot cream on it for a couple days and it cleared right up. I hope to one day (after I lose about 80 pounds) have it removed and have an abdominoplasty.....just need to save up $7-8K for the surgery as my insurance won't pay for that, LOL.
garlic on warts gets rid of them. sm
home remedies or new age?? fine line there.
sometimes I think we're being "prepped" for a corporate-free world...
Aren't yeast infections
caused by the imbalance caused by all the heavy-duty antibiotics that have to be used nowdays to kill bacteria?
I am starting to see medical reports from journals saying that strong antibiotics seem to be causing the increase in serious allergies and asthma, and it's due to yeast and other fungi. Not all doctors are on board yet, but it took them along time to believe that ulcers were often caused by bacteria, so we shall see.
Did you know that vaginal yeast meds
and many of the meds for jock itch, ring worm and athletes' foot are the same exact drug? Now the sprays and/or powders use different ones from some of the creams, but the some of the athlete's creams are just like some of the vaginal yeast creams. It's all for fungal infections, but the makers want you to buy 3 or more tubes please, LOL.
I'm thinking either allergy or yeast from
from the antibiotic. May need to stop it, but of course call doc.
If it's yeast, Gold Bond (or the generic). Change diet to avoid sugar and white flour. Any carbs should be high fiber type. Instead of giving her yogurt, acidophilus pills are great because they don't have sugar that feeds yeast. If you are at a nature store or healthfood store, see if there is anybody knowledgeable there with other ideas.
Shampoo: OTC Nizoral is great, though expensive.
I hope she got rid of her yeast infection.
Who infected whom?
And why is she acting so hysterically?
I've definitely had a yeast infection with antibiotic use...
When I had to take antibiotics for a tooth infection, I had to also get Monostat for the horrible yeast infection I got. I don't think I've ever had one other than that, so still don't think it's linked to my liquid fabric softener.
Sorry, meant to say garlic salt, not sauce!mt

Might try hanging garlic cloves from the branches, - sm
but then again, it might just keep the people away, too!
(On the bright side, at least your tree would be free of vampires.)
Hmm, roasted peppers, olives, garlic, tomatoes
Yummy! My husband and I neither one grew up eating the above - we had mostly the bland food and the reason being, there are a lot of people who just do not know how to use spices and seasonings. Glad grown now because I have all those delicious things you speak of. Years ago in Mexico I had roasted green peppers with cheese- tried to match but mine never the same. Mouth is watering!
chocolate cake and garlic dill pickles. sm
did you know, if you eat a wintogreen lifesaver and then drink pop - the pop tastes like beer!
Pasta with zukes, carrots, onion, garlic, basil...sm
sauted in olive oil, with a garden salad. All of that (except the pasta, of course) from the garden. You guys posted lots of yummy plans.
Mojo criollo marinade - citrus, garlic, & onion sm
I can get it at my local grocery stores and use it on pork loin or chicken, and I have even found a fresh sausage with the flavor already added to it. Very good with yellow rice, black beans, and peas.
Breads. All kinds. Raisin. Yeast. Wheat. Any kind of bread!!! nm

Get a rice cooker sm
could never make rice. Been using a rice cooker for 10 years and it's perfect every time.
Condaleeza Rice
Can't stand Hillary, would never vote for her, no way, no how, not a chance, never.
I usually use about 1/2 bag if minute rice..sm
but this is the first time I have used the recipe on the dry onion soup box!! It just sounded so good that I thought I would give it a try and just add the rice since my hubby likes rice in his meatloaf. Hope it comes out okay!!
Boneless chicken breast in a lemon cream sauce served on fettucini with salad and garlic bread.

I have used rice or instant oatmeal before. nm
!
paste. . . potatoes or rice?
Some kind of shrimp and rice casserole.
Saw the recipe in Southern Living and will try it tonight.
Is this the same Condi Rice called brillant?
Not 100% sure on this but if so watched an interesting program where a person reads faces and read his, talking about contempt he had for the questions, when saying no gays in his country could hardly contain his laugh/condemnation for the questioners. I would not have wasted my time in even giving this slime the time of day.
Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat!
I liked the green guy the way he used to be
I don't like him now. I can barely understand him. I really hated that commercial recently as I was shopping for car insurance. I walked into an agency and asked if they could save me money on car insurance (green man popped into my head although it wasn't a Geico agency). They did. I was paying $1500 per 6 months with my old one (again, not Geico) and with the new one I am paying like $700. Boy, I was a happy camper. I called my MIL and said I have got good news, we are going to save over 50% in car insurance. Again, that green man popped into my head.
Actually, we bake cornish hens with wild rice.
Glaze is made with melted butter, brown sugar, worcestershire sauce.
white rice coming out nice, fluffy, dry and
Fried rice is another good, cheap meal (sm)
I use a rice cooker a lot since I can cook w/o babysitting it. Make extra rice and put it in a ziplock bag and refrigerate. Next day you can take the leftover rice and bits of meat and veggies left over from other meals and an egg or two, and make fried rice. If you're new at it, there are some inexpensive fried rice spice mix packets that give you the flavor with some instructions. But once you've done it a few times, you can wing it with some asian spices and just use up the leftovers you have.
I'd cook the rice first to make sure it's soft and edible

Any recipe ideas that can use canned tuna and rice?
I'm scraping the bottom of my pantry barrel so to speak. I just found canned tuna that I forgot I had and a box of instant brown rice. Any ideas on combining those two?
Thanks.
You could also make a cold rice and tuna salad, with a little - sm
mayo, some onion, maybe some peas and/or mushrooms if you have 'em. But, yeah, the add soup and call it a casserole/hotdish idea was the first one I had, too. :-)
Green olives here too!
What's really, really good is a cheeseburger with grilled onions, tomato, and green olives on it.
I could eat that every day. :-)
