PLANNING BREAKFAST

My mother used to give us a choice for breakfast: We had to have either cereal or egg before going to school. Toast was optional and we had to have the juice she prepared, usually orange.

EXTENDING A FAT-FREE BOTTLED DRESSING

Bottled dressings are expensive. And how many salads does one bottle dress? Not many.

RE: 5 daily servings of fruits and vegetables can help you live longer, study finds
