Whether you are a prolific baker, or someone who considers themselves a rookie, it can never hurt to know the difference between all those different types of flour you see on the market shelf. While many people stock their pantry with all-purpose flour, for peak results, you should go with the right kind of flour the recipe was developed with. The first step is to understand what defines each type of flour and what differentiates them from the rest. It is also important to understand the protein content and in return, how the protein content...

A big deterrent that keeps many people from hopping on the houseplant bandwagon is insufficient lighting conditions in their home. Many homes miss out on the direct sunlight during the day. In fact, there are many rooms that don’t get any sunlight at all. While this may sound all too familiar, fear not. There are a number of houseplants that thrive on the poor lighting in the average home. There are even plants that will suffer, if they are put in direct sunlight. Another benefit of these types of plants is that most of the time they are low m...

Berger said the time mus...
