Quick Fix for Fingernails

Posted by Mimi Bobeck  

I think what this quick fix is doing is offering a buff to the nail, with the inert part of the baking soda. (The lemon acid and baking soda base, of course, react immediately to just form water.) Definitely very drying to the cuticles - it was a... — realbirdlady Jul 31, 2009

Goodbye Cracks On The Soles

Posted by Charishma Ramchandani  

This worked well on the rough skin on the sides and arch of my foot. It didn't seem to have an impact on the harder skin of my heel. It is a nice bedtime ritual. — realbirdlady Jul 31, 2009

Satin Skin Apple Mask and Scrub

Posted by gingerkitten D  

A nice tightener for the skin of my face and neck. A little chilly straight out of the fridge - best to warm more to room temperature before using. — realbirdlady Jul 31, 2009

Simple but good! I refrigerated the mixture for extra cold in our hot summertime. — realbirdlady Jul 31, 2009

Honey Facial Toner

Posted by ~Rita~  

I have to admit, I enjoyed eating this more than toning with it, but there was definitely a nice effect on my fave and neck. — realbirdlady Jul 31, 2009

Supple Citrus Hand and Foot Scrub

Posted by Sharon123  

Very nice, some scrubbing from the sugar, and moisturizing from the oil. I just let the scent of the lemon stand on its own. The sugar is a convenient abrasive, since you can rinse and let it run down the drain without clogging. — realbirdlady Jul 31, 2009

Strawberry Tabbouleh

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by evelyn/athens  

The sweetness and tartness of the strawberries really makes this recipe, without dominating the tastes of the other ingredients. It's easy to prepare, and easy to transport and serve at a potluck. The bulgur stretches the more expensive... — realbirdlady Jul 19, 2009

Seafood Pasta Salad With Creamy Strawberry Dressing

Posted by NorthwestGal  

The texture was very nice, with the crunch of the nuts and the different crunch of the celery and onion offsetting the soft pasta and creamy dressing. The flavor wasn't bad, but not notably interesting, either. There's relatively a lot of pasta,... — realbirdlady Jul 19, 2009

Ceviche Lettuce Wraps

(2 people found this helpful) Posted by Ice Cool Kitty  

An interesting concept for a summer salad, and very pretty contrasting red and green. The taste and texture don't quite come together, however. I would like to try this again with fresh (raw) peas, without marinating the green onion and tomato,... — realbirdlady Jul 14, 2009

Nacho Ensalada Con Chipotle Y Bulgur

Posted by mersaydees  

Lighter nachos with a smoky taste, easy to prepare and nutritious. I'd use a better-melting cheese than cheddar next time. This might work better as a tostada, rather than nachos - it was a little hard to eat. I omitted the chorizo and the cilantro. — realbirdlady Jul 14, 2009

Pepperoni Pizza Pasta Salad

Posted by Elmotoo  

A fun salad with a nice blend of pizza ingredients. I altered the dressing to a 1:1 ratio of the vinegar and oil. Next time, I would omit the cheddar and use all pizza cheeses, and stick with sundried tomatoes only, not the fresh. — realbirdlady Jul 14, 2009

Rustic Grilled Chicken Salad With Lite Honey Mustard Dressing

Posted by MsSally  

This one did not work out for me. The marinated chicken is fine, nothing special. The dressing is extremely sweet - this is more sugar than I would add to a yogurt dessert, and the mustard overpowered the other tastes. — realbirdlady Jul 14, 2009

Mexican Spicy Shrimp Salald

Posted by Galley Wench  

This one did not work out for me. The ingredients just don't go together, it's just a bunch of things in a bowl. This could be fine to use up leftovers. — realbirdlady Jul 14, 2009

Blueberries and French Cream Perfect for Valentine's Day

Posted by Elmotoo  

An easy elegant dessert. I used in-season strawberries rather than blueberries (plus that seemed more valentine-y). The cream is great - I thought it was going to be to sweet, but the tang of the sour cream balances nicely. It is quite firm, so I... — realbirdlady Jun 10, 2009

Arroz Con Calabacin (Rice With Zucchini)

Posted by MomLuvs6  

A tasty one-dish meal for summer produce. I made this all out of the garden (except the rice and olive oil). I went ahead and finished cooking the rice on the stovetop, instead of heating the oven. The grains were a little soft, but the dish is... — realbirdlady Jun 10, 2009

My Coq Au Vin

Posted by FrenchBunny  

An attractive take on a French classic. These ingredients blended well, and the garnish ingredients were a nice touch. I used mixed chicken parts, rather than all legs, which may explain why I had little liquid at the flour browning stage, and... — realbirdlady Jun 9, 2009

Lemon Berry Cooler

Posted by morgainegeiser  

Great for the summer! I'd agree that it would be smart to make a larger batch. I used fresh lemon juice rather than powdered mix. I thought it was sweet enough from just the fruit, but others added a little sweetener. Instead of the ice cubes, I... — realbirdlady Jun 9, 2009

Black Bean and Plantain Burritos

Bacon, Blue and Avocado Quesadilla

Posted by Lavender Lynn  

A nice flavor combination in an easy attractive quesadilla. The bacon and the fresh onion add a little crunch, and the blue cheese makes this more than ordinary. I didn't make the dressing - I think the ranch flavor might overwhelm the blue... — realbirdlady Jun 8, 2009
