What's Better: Wood or Plastic Cutting Boards?
I use mostly wooden cutting boards, though I do own a plastic one that's looking pretty rough. After noticing several discolored grooves on the plastic last week, I started wondering if and when I should get rid of old boards. I was also curious about whether plastic or wooden cutting boards are safer, so I decided to do a little research.
What's With All the Different Kinds of Oats?
Need a little extra fiber and protein? Then reach for some oats. You can make oatmeal, use them to make cookies, add them to smoothies to thicken them up, or grind them to make flour.

Kitchen Cleanliness: Disinfect Your Cutting Boards
I think we need to talk about the germ-infested cutting boards in your kitchen. All those cracks and crevices are housing millions of bacteria that could make you very sick.
Glass cutting boards are the most sanitary because they're the easiest to keep clean.

Style Glossary: Bias Cut
Bias Cut
A garment is said to be cut on the bias when the fabric's warp and weft threads are at 45 degrees to its major seam lines; essentially, the diagonal cut of a fabric. This technique utilizes a greater stretch in the bias, thereby causing it to accentuate body lines and curves and drape softly. Non-woven fabrics such as felt do not have a bias.
Delilicious: Sugar Cookie Cut-Outs
Lisa Barnes, author of Petit Appetit: Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, shares with LilSugar a classic sugar cookie recipe that works for all seasons — though it's especially great for a holiday party, cookie swap or playdate activity. Kids can help dump the measured ingredients into the mixing bowl and turn on and off the electric mixer to help make the dough. Of course the fun really begins with the cookie cutting and icing decorating.
Product Review: HerCut, Made Just For Your Haircut
In an attempt to offer a new twist in the haircare market, HerCut, a line of products tailored to the form and shape of your actual haircut, launches online today. Earlier, most of you said you'd at least give it a try, but as expected, there were some rumblings about whether or not these products could actually work, as they eschew something rather important when it comes to your hairstyle — its texture.
HerCut offers five styling "Catalysts" ($22 each) that pump out a cream on one side and a gel on the other, to complement the foundation of the haircut (think multichambered toothpaste dispensers).
Cool Idea: A Cut Paper-Inspired Wall Mural
Not all of us have the artistic skills of talented muralists like Mint and Serf, but that doesn't mean we can't create one-of-a-kind artwork for our homes. Even inspired, "knock-off" art is unique when it comes to painting a mural on your wall. This pink and orange flower used in this mural came from the Authentic Chinese Cut-Paper Designs book (it's actually sitting on the bedside table).
