While I hate to seem immodest, I have to tell you... I'm still blown away at how amazing the pie crust came out. I've been making pie crust for decades and, thanks to Jeffrey Steingarten and Marion Cunningham, I have mastered a perfectly light, flaky pie crust. But this crust was even better than my best pie crust. A hundred times better! My pie crust was elevated from perfect to divine, thanks to a new ingredient. New to me, anyway. What's my secret?

Plus, most toddlers are picky eaters. You want to pack something they will actually eat -- not leave sitting there while they fill up on other kids' Doritos and Oreos. Here are a few tips on how to pack lunches for kids, with a list of ideas for healthy lunch ideas and lunch menus.]]> http://www.cheeseslave.com/2009/02/13/healthy-lunch-ideas-for-kids-how-to-pack-a-brown-bag-lunch/feed/ 25 http://www.cheeseslave.com/2008/10/10/why-fermented-cod-liver-oil/ http://www.cheeseslave.com/2008/10/10/why-fermented-cod-liver-oil/#comments Fri, 10 Oct 2008 07:36:11 +0000 cheeseslave http://www.cheeseslave.com/?p=976 Dr. Oz was on Oprah a while back, saying that he believes cod liver oil is the number one nutritional supplement and that we should all be taking it.
