I just made some delicious banana bread and i know my hubby would love a loaf, but he is in Iraq. Is there a way i can send it without it spoiling??? I would also like to send cookies and stuff too. If i bought one of those vacuum food sealers would it preserve them more? I think it takes 1-2 weeks for a box to get there. Any ideas???

Okay, so I’m doing an experiment on which type of foods mold the fastest. for my experiment i used a cup of milk, a banana, a slice of bread, and a slice of cheese.
i put all of the foods in a plastic bag last friday ( March 21,08) and put them in a dark room temperature cabinet.
For some reason my foods haven’t rotten yet, they all look prfectly fine. And the expirement was supposed to take 4-5 days, and its almost a week now. could it be because i put the foods in the plastic bag (and milk in a cup with the top ceram wrapped) and this probably preserved the food? plz help me!!!!

I have read that eating warm fruits during the winter is better for you, this is based on ancient Indian/Hindu custom. Warm things are supposed to be more fortifying, especially if you add a warming spice like cinnamon. Where I live, winters are cold and wet, so I’d like to eat warming foods. But I try to be conscious of eating fruits for their nutrients and fiber. What are some ways I can cook with fruit, without adding lots of other ingredients and still preserving their goodness? I like apples, blueberries, banana, pears. I also eat dried plums and apricots, and raisins.

what are your favorite GF recipes, I am especially looking for easy and cheap dessert recipes, pizza crust, pie crust, etc. these recipes also have to be free of corn, banana, garlic, vanilla and pork! My 13 yo has many food allergies, gluten being the most difficult. She loves to cook so anything that she can cook herself and eat would be great!
