 Powered by Max Banner Ads 


In this video, Betty demonstrates her imitation Reese’s cups–with the help and encouragement of her 3-year-old grandson, Carter. These are Betty’s Peanut Butter Cup Squares, and they are as close to Reese’s cups as you will find, made at home! Ingredients: 1 stick butter or margarine 1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups confectioner’s sugar 6 oz. milk chocolate morsels Melt 1 stick of butter in a saucepan. Add 1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter, and melt it with the butter over low heat. Remove from heat, and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla and 2 cups of confectioner’s sugar. Blend completely, and then pour into a 9-inch by 9-inch pan (glass or metal). (I used a 7-inch by 10-inch Teflon-coated pan.) Spread the peanut butter blend evenly in the pan to get to all corners and sides at the same level. Melt 6 oz. milk chocolate morsels in a double boiler (or in a small pan over low heat). Spread the melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter blend. Let stand at room temperature several hours to cool. Do not refrigerate. When the chocolate has set up appropriately, cut your peanut butter cups into squares and place on a pretty serving dish. I like to make the squares fairly small (about 3/4-inch by 3/4-inch). This is a popular sweet treat, and it does provide some protein from the peanut butter. Kids love it!!! Thanks to Carter for his appearance in the video!

Bread and Butter Basics Hair Health With Homeopathy

No one wants to lose their hair. Whether it’s a result of middle age for men, the aftermath of menopause for women or after a fever, the loss of hair can be a trying event. Hair loss can also be attributable to drug use, prescribed or not. Even hereditary hair loss can sometimes be halted with the correct natural care. This is where homeopathy and simple kitchen methods can be employed.

Homeopathy is a medical discipline that has been shown to halt the loss of hair and put the sufferer in order. Because the word homeopathy includes the word “home”, many assume it means home remedies. Home remedies can indeed be useful in regaining and maintaining our health, but, homeopathy is actually a form of medicine with a record that dates back to the late 1700’s and has been accepted throughout the world ever since. Unfortunately, this has not been the case in the United States since modern medicine was so enamored with antibiotics that it no longer considered homeopathy of value. This is changing and rapidly so. The premise of homeopathy is that the body has the ability to bring itself to health when given the correct stimulus. Well chosen homeopathic remedies offer that stimulus.

So how can homeopathy help with hair loss? If the loss is fairly recent and hair is still falling, then homeopathy has been shown to more likely aid the situation. There are many remedies that can cover the issue of hair loss, but before contacting a professional homeopath, it certainly would be prudent to give the following remedies a try.

The first remedy to consider is Calc phos 6x. This is particularly useful for hair loss due to a fever; however, it can also restore hair without that symptom. It should be given three times each day for several weeks. In the old homeopathy books written by homeopathic doctors in the United Kingdom, Silica 6x and Calc fluor 6x are also consdered good choices for the loss of hair and it is suggested that they be alternated so that one day three doses of Silica can be taken, while on the alternate day, Calc fluor 6x will replace Silica.

Although not considered homeopathy, diet can be a substantial contributor to either the loss of hair or the gaining of lustrous hair. A diet rich in animal and tropical fats is of the greatest value. That is, butter, coconut oil and palm kernel oil. Making a habit of consuming these oils rich in vitamins required for healthy hair and skin can insure no further loss of hair and may reinstitute the growth. In fact, it is likely that if these quality foods have been missing in the diet, that it might be the cause of the problem in the first place. Additionally, any of these natural oils applied to the scalp can invigorate hair health.

If these simple ideas find you without results, consider consulting with a homeopath who can take the situation to a more personal level. The combination of homeopathy and natural diet change is natural and rational. It is not capricious like its modern medicine counterpart. Homeopathy and a high quality diet are true medicines for people who want to empower themselves. Good bread and butter common sense for intelligent action.
