Surfactants have gone under tremendous scrutiny in recent years. If you don’t know what a surfactant is, and want all the chemistry behind it… I found this good website that will go into great detail about it and its uses.

For those that don’t necessarily want the chemical makeup and atomic mass, in easy terms… It’s the stuff that makes the bubbles in shampoo and soap known as lather.

Green Sauce Recipe using Cottage Cheese...

There are a couple of things I usually do with cottage cheese. I make green sauce for whole wheat pasta, or Creamed spinach.

For the pasta…

How do I use a bath melt?

You guys have been asking me lately “How do I use a bath melt?” So, I thought I would do a little tutorial for you guys.

Iced soy Latte

One of my favorite morning drinks is a “Iced Soy Latte”. I love the Starbucks version and will spring for it on a special occasion.

In my opinion, I have found a VERY close second that I make myself.

First you need a stovetop espresso percolator. I bought the larger (12 cup) version of this… http://www.amazon.com/Bialetti-06969-Venus-6-Cup/dp/B00067WCM6

I bought mine at Marshalls for $20.00. If you don’t have a Marshalls, TGMax is another place where I have purchased a different one. I do recommend the stainless steel one. Its more durable, plus it doesn’t corrode like the aluminum one does.
