    Simply Heinz Ketchup - Have you tried it?

    I didn't realize I had bought this when picking up ketchup at the store last time. I had some fries today from McDonald's and got the ketchup out. It tastes terrible! It is so sweet it is almost inedible to me. From what I understand, this is Heinz's attempt to make nice with all of the high...

    Replace PB in Asian Chicken Salad

    I would love to try this recipe with a few revisions....the first being to replace the peanut butter with something else. I do not like peanuts or peanut butter in savory foods. I would also replace the pre-packaged grilled chicken w/ my own. Looks like that would greatly reduce the sodium in...

    I am considering making chocolate covered strawberries (if I can find some locally) for Valentine's Day. One of the recipes I'm looking at calls for 2 Tbsp of shortening.
