Does anyone have suggestions for successfully baking a Rump Roast?? I normally choose Pot/Chuck Roast (it's what my mother always made), and it is pretty reliable for producing a tender, juicy, 'fall-off-the-bones' - even though there is no bone - result. But we decided to try a Rump Roast today...against my better judgment, lol! And after 3+ hours...it's still very dense and not tender. I'm of the opinion that this is a no-go, and I won't be...

Most people following this dietary protocol go without food or caloric beverages for a certain period of time, then break their...

EATING PLANTS - I LOST WEIGHT Eating plants, all animals, some of each. Which is best? I know, I know. <sigh> If you've been following me for any length of time at all, you know that my struggle with diet is real. I'm definitely what professionals would call a yo-yo dieter. And that doesn't seem to be changing any time soon. But I shift what I'm eating for good reasons. Usually, it's because I get 'symptoms' in my body. What I mean by that...

Plant-Based Keto sounds like a crazy idea, when you first consider it. Right? I mean, isn't one of the biggest attractions to a keto diet the fact that you can eat all that meat, poultry, fish, and eggs with abandon? Oh, and cheese. Omg...the cheese! Well, maybe. If that kind of food makes you feel good. And I'm talking physically here. I'm primarily about health. But animal cruelty IS something to think about. Let's talk about that later. For...
