Bread is a staple food, but finishing a whole loaf of it before it expires can be difficult. Many of us freeze or refrigerate part of our loaves so as not to waste it. So how can we reheat bread without drying it out?

Add a bowl of water
Remove your bread from the freezer or fridge. Remove the plastic wrap or foil you kept the bread in and place the bread on a plate. Fill a small ramekin or bowl with three tablespoons of water. Place the plate with the bread and the container with the water into the microwave and microwave both for 10 - 20 seconds to allow the bread to trap moisture.

Use a damp napkin
Run a paper towel under drinking water so it's damp. Remove the plastic wrap or foil you kept the bread in, and wrap the bread with the paper towel instead. Adjust your microwave to low power and heat the bread for short periods of time (10 - 30 seconds) until it reaches your desired temperature.

Wintertime is a time for hearty soups and stews and we always find ourselves making too much food to finish in one sitting. However, we know that we must be careful when storing leftovers. Here are our best tips for safely handling leftovers:

1. To make sure your leftovers are safe to eat, cook them to the right minimum internal temperature. Measure red meats with a food thermometer to make sure their internal temperatures reach 145° F or above. Ground meats should reach 160° F or above and poultry should reach 165° F or above.
2. Divide large amounts of leftovers into smaller portions. This way, you can cool these smaller portions of food more quickly, so that bacteria is less likely to multiply.
3. Wrap leftovers carefully with plastic wrap or heavy-duty foil or place them in sealable bags or storage containers. Freeze the leftovers as soon as possible after wrapping, so that they cool within a shorter period of time. This minimizes the chances of bacterial growth.
4. Label your leftovers with food names and dates to ensure they are consumed within a safe period of time. Most leftovers are safe in the fridge for 3 to 4 days or safe in the freezer for 3 to 4 months.

Cutting boards are fundamental kitchen utensils. For those of us that cook, we might use the same cutting board every day. To minimize food safety risks, it's important to regularly replace cutting boards. So, how often should cutting boards be replaced?

Plastic Cutting Boards
Replace plastic cutting boards every 1 - 2 years. Moisture and bacteria can become trapped in the grooves of plastic cutting boards, especially if you use it to cut raw proteins. Consider having different cutting boards for different foods.

Wooden Cutting Boards
Replace wooden cutting boards every 2 - 10 years. However, if the grooves of the board become very deep or cracking occurs, your board might harbor bacteria that's hard to clean. This signals that it's time to replace your cutting board.

Potlucks are especially popular during the holiday season because they are a great way for attendees to try a variety of foods. However, with different people preparing different dishes, everyone taking part should keep the following potluck food safety tips in mind:

1. Wash your hands before preparing food for a potluck. During the event, be sure to wash your hands after using the restroom, coughing, or touching your face.
2. Refrigerate the food you'll be serving at 41°F or below until you are ready to serve it.
3. Keep hot foods warm during the potluck, at 135°F or above.
4. Keep raw foods and ready-to-eat foods separate to prevent cross-contamination. Remember to allocate separate serving utensils to each dish.
5. Feeling under the weather? Notify your host and refrain from preparing a dish for the potluck to keep everyone safe and healthy.

Is there a difference between unscented and fragrance-free products? Although they might seem similar, the two are actually quite different!

Products might read, "unscented" on their labels because they don't have easily detectable scents. However, they may still contain fragrance chemicals, particularly chemicals that strip away odors. However, some odor-neutralizing chemicals can be harmful.

Products that are "fragrance free" are products without chemicals intended to add a scent to them. However, the products might still have natural scents depending on its ingredients.

For individuals living with skin conditions or sensitive skin, fragrance-free products will likely be the gentler choice.

What is aural rehabilitation? Aural rehabilitation employs practices to reduce limitations brought on by hearing loss.

Rehabilitation may include training in communication strategies, modifications in the listening environment, personal and vocational counseling, usage of hearing aids, speechreading, and the like. Training is generally provided by speech-language pathologists or audiologists and may take place in small groups or one-on-one sessions.

Studies show that a combination of using assistive devices and receiving aural rehabilitation can help to improve quality of life for those with hearing loss. Individuals living with hearing loss that have noticed communication difficulties may consider consulting audiologists about aural rehabilitation.

Experiencing dry hands from dishwashing? It's important to include your hands in your skincare routine, especially since hands come into contact with dish soaps and other household items with ingredients that can strip away your hands' natural oils. Here are four ways to protect your hands:

1. Soak the dishes in hot water before you do the dishes. Afterwards, when you're doing the dishes, simply use lukewarm water. This way, hot water won't strip your skin of its water content.

2. Refrain from using dish soap to wash your hands after you do the dishes, as it's rough on your hands given it oftentimes contains phosphates, bleach, and dyes. Place moisturizing soap next to your sink and opt to use that instead after you do your dishes.

3. Blot dry your hands instead of rubbing them dry. When you gently pat dry your hands, a small amount of moisture is retained and your hands will feel less dryness and irritation.

4. Moisturize your hands immediately after washing your hands post-dishwashing. This will help your skin repair its natural barrier, a barrier that is negatively affected by dish soap and water.

Even if you're spending the holidays apart from your loved ones this year, there are plenty of ways to connect virtually. Here are four ways to celebrate the holidays long-distance:

1. Host a virtual cook-along. Choose a favorite holiday recipe to make together. Prepare all the needed ingredients beforehand separately and sign onto Zoom at the same time to make your dish.

2. Organize a virtual craft session. Send craft materials to all participants, along with instructions and Zoom links. Popular craft ideas include ornament making, holiday cookie decorating, wreath or card-making.

3. Have a watch party. Choose a fun holiday movie to watch with your loved ones. Have all participants pull up the same movie and hit "play" at the same time, or use your streaming services' "watch party" feature so your movies play at the same time.

4. Create and review shared photo albums. Separately upload your favorite photos from the year onto the shared albums. Find a time to sign onto Zoom and take turns going over this year's highlights.

Kitchen towels can get dirty quickly. When we use them to wipe off dirty surfaces in the kitchen, bacteria can begin to grow on them and then spread throughout the kitchen when the same towel is used for wiping off other surfaces. Here are four tips for maintaining your kitchen towels:

1. Use different towels for different tasks in the kitchen. Use cotton towels to dry your hands since they are soft and absorbent. Use microfiber towels to polish glass surfaces or wipe down appliances, since they effectively trap grime and dust. Use terrycloth to soak up large spills since the loops in the cloth make them extra absorbent. Using different towels for different tasks will help you prevent cross-contamination.

2. Wash your kitchen towels daily in hot water to kill bacteria.

3. Dry your towels thoroughly, as damp towels can become a breeding ground for bacteria. Refrain from drying towels in high heat in the dryer, as its fibers may become damaged.

4. Replace your towels early, every 6 to 12 months, for optimal performance. Thinning fabric, odor, or lower absorbency are signs that it's time to replace your towels earlier than that.

Where you keep your toothbrush is important. Storing your toothbrush in the right way can help to minimize germ growth and protect your oral health. Follow these four tips to figure out the best location for your toothbrush.

1. Keep your toothbrush in a toothbrush holder so your brush can stand up to air dry completely. A dry environment is less likely to encourage bacterial growth.
2. Be sure to keep toothbrushes away from each other to prevent bacteria and germs from spreading. This will help to protect all who share the space from colds, flus, and other illnesses.
3. Keep your toothbrush away from the toilet. This way, when you flush, bacteria will be less likely to travel and land on your toothbrush.
4. Refrain from keeping your toothbrush by the sink to prevent it from being splashed when you wash your hands.
