"Ways you can cook an egg:
Egg roll/Tamagoyaki

Basically, a Japanese omelette.
It can consists of eggs, milk, carrots, onions, spring onions, salt, and pepper.
Unlike a traditional omelette, you'll be rolling this egg several times instead of just folding it once."

"Freezer essentials to always have on hand
Ice

This is an obvious one, but still important as ice is used for way more than cooling down a drink.
Plenty of cooking techniques, such as boiling eggs, blanching vegetables, and whipping cream use ice or ice water."

"Communication mistakes that can ruin your relationships
Stonewalling

Saying nothing can be just as harmful as saying something. ""Stonewalling"" is when the listener completely shuts off from the conversation. He/She may ignore his/her partner or even leave the room completely. They close off, tune out, act busy, and turn away.
When your partner is upset, don't give him/her the silent treatment. It's another form of disrespect. Instead, listen carefully to him/her without interruption. Ignoring the situation never helps solve a problem.
No matter how angry and upset you may be, always communicate with love. Communicating in a healthy, productive way is much more effective than trying to manipulate one another with your words and actions. Choose to respect your partner in the way that you talk and respond to him/her."

Common Baking Substitution Questions
Can I mess with the eggs?

Eggs give baked goods volume, richness, and structure and the two members of the dynamic duo, the yolks and whites play different roles.
If you change the number of eggs, the way they’re incorporated, e.g. whisking with sugar until light and foamy versus stirring together, their temperature, i.e., cold versus room temp, or the ratio of yolks to whites, you’re sure to change the texture and flavor of your final product.

Wellness habits you should adopt
Nailing that skincare routine/Making a point to floss

Nailing that good skincare routine could include consistently using a face mask. There are a few different masks you can rotate for either skin acne, hydration or refining.

Likewise, make oral health a priority. You can use a tongue scraper, brush with a bamboo toothbrush and then use a silk dental floss.

One of the best things about choosing a bamboo toothbrush over a plastic one is that you can compost the toothbrush at the end of its life.

Vitamins your body needs
Iron

Your pregnancy and breastfeeding, period, can all lead to low iron levels, and if you end up drained after pregnancy and don’t get your levels back up, the problem can become severe.
Iron aids make up the protein that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body, which is why being physically and mentally tired is one of the main symptoms of low iron.
Meat sources like chicken are your best bet, since the type of iron found in meat, termed heme iron is more bioavailable, or better absorbed, by our bodies than the variety we get from plants.
But you can also get substantial amounts of iron from lentils and legumes.

Things you need to stop wasting time on
Comparing yourself to everyone else

Social comparison is the thief of happiness.
You could spend a lifetime worrying about what others have, but it wouldn’t get you anything.
Happiness never comes to those who don’t appreciate what they already have.

It cooks quickly, requires no special tools or equipment, and tastes delicious.
It’s the perfect example that sometimes the simplest cooking methods are the best.

Troubleshooting stored potatoes

When stored correctly, your potatoes should last up to eight months. However, a lot can go wrong if you’re new to the process.
Follow these guidelines for the best chance of storage success:
😊Keep your potatoes far away from apples and other fresh fruit, as the ethylene gas they put off can cause the potatoes to sprout or spoil.
😊Potatoes often develop a sweet taste during storage because they are slowly converting starches to sugars. You can prevent this from impacting your food by bringing the potatoes out of storage a few days before cooking them so that the sugar reverts to starch.
😊Potatoes develop green skin when exposed to light. Not only does this skin taste bitter, but it’s also toxic. Cut away any green parts before cooking.
😊Don’t wash the potatoes until ready to use. Otherwise, you’re putting them at risk of creating habitat space for microbes that lead to rotting.
😊Remove sprouts when you see them unless you plan to use them as seed potatoes.

Mushrooms, 92% water

Mushrooms are made up of 92% water. They’re also a good source of Vitamin B2, i.e., riboflavin, which is important for your skin and nervous system.
Vitamin B2 also helps to reduce tiredness and release energy from the food you eat.
😀Fill two large portobello mushrooms with chopped tomatoes and a sprinkling of low-fat cheese. Then cook in the oven to create a delicious pizza alternative with a rich meaty flavour.
😀You can also add chopped mushrooms to bolognese, chillis, soups, stews and casseroles.

Self-Confidence

We remember people who have confidence. Confidence is “magnetic.” We are attracted to people who exude confidence. We want to be like them, perhaps hoping some of their confidence will transfer to us.
Research over several decades has shown that self-confidence becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy predicting happiness and success. It makes us unforgettable.

Self-development

The most fulfilling path to success and personal fulfillment comes through the pursuit of your own self-development.
The radically successful and happy immerse themselves in self-development and a deep interest in life and relationships.
Through self-exploration they remain openly curious and passionate about their self-education and improvement.
They hold the belief that they can only learn if they are willing to risk themselves personally and professionally.
Through life’s experiences, good and bad, you become able and ready to be proactive in all your efforts, challenges and successes.
You choose to no longer wait for success or happiness or success, you go out and make it happen.
Making a commitment to your own development is the first step on the path to living your personal legend.

Ways a hobby can make better at your day job:
Increasing your creativity

One of the biggest benefits of having a hobby is that it makes you more creative. This increased creativity can have a number of positive effects when it comes to your profession.
For example, if you take the time to go out into nature and take photographs, you have a whole new set of creative decisions to make. How should you crop that shot? What angle should you take it from?
Having the ability to problem-solve in such a pleasurable way can bring a new perspective to your work, too, allowing you to creatively and constructively come up with solutions when necessary.
