Q: Take into account how much time you have each day to cook. For instance, if you work 8 or more hours per day, you're going to have less time available for preparing meals. Plan meals that are faster and easier to prepare. Invest in a crock pot. You do a quick prep the night before, toss everything in the crock pot the next morning, turn it on and you're done! When you arrive back home later that evening, your meal will be waiting for you. Cook large batches and freeze portions for later meals. Use canned items, like beans, for a quicker meal prep. No hours of soaking required. When you're short on time, use frozen vegetables instead of fresh. Frozen veggies are still nutritious, and you'll save tons of prep time. Explore new recipes that incorporate baking, grilling and sauteing. Baking casseroles, for example, generally requires a short prep time and once you pop it in the oven, you don't have to babysit it. Be certain that you have the cookware, utensils, dishes and other items required for the meals you're planning on hand before you buy all of the ingredients to make them. If you are planning large meals with the intention of having leftovers, make sure you have enough storage containers and Tupperware to accommodate everything. Avoid recipes that require fruits and vegetables that are out of season. Also avoid recipes that require gourmet ingredients or any other hard-to-find items. If you're planning large meals, make sure the ingredients you need can be easily obtained in large quantities. If you're cooking alone, don't plan elaborate or complex meals that require a lot of preparation. Plan meals that you can easily handle yourself, unless you have people around in your house that can assist you.
A: Plan according to how much time you have to cook. Make sure you have the right equipment. Confirm that the ingredients can be easily attained. Avoid elaborate food preparation unless you have help.

Q: On a generating flare tool, the flare is formed in the air instead of in the recessed part of the bar. Check the manual for the number of revolutions needed for the flare size you need. Cut or use different tubing if any imperfections are found.
A: Place the cone over the end of the tubing and move it down until the cone is centered. Turn the advance screw several revolutions. Check the new flare for any imperfections such as splits.

Q: While studies disagree about whether stress can cause infertility, de-stressing may improve your chances of getting pregnant. One study showed that women who were more stressed during their conception window were less likely to get pregnant than women who were less stressed. Therefore, it can't hurt to try to calm down before your insemination. Try taking a meditation class, which has helped many people de-stress. If you don't have time, try taking a few moments several times a day to practice deep breathing. Simply find a quiet place, and close your eyes. Breathe in deeply through your nose while counting to 4 in your head. Breathe out slowly through your mouth, counting to 4 again in your head. Yoga may have similar benefits. You could also try journaling about what's bothered you throughout the day before you sleep. That way, you get it out on paper and can have a restful night. Listening to calming music can also help you de-stress or just doing things you enjoy. Exercising regularly can also cut down on stress. While it may not magically make you fertile, eating a healthy "fertility" diet may help increase your chances of becoming pregnant. In addition, getting the right nutrients and vitamins will help your body be ready for a baby if you do get pregnant. Focus on lean proteins, such as chicken, fish, beans, and nuts, and get plenty of fruits and vegetables every day. Also, make sure your carbohydrates are mostly whole grains. In addition, try to eat full-fat dairy at least twice a day. You can eat yogurt, cheese, or milk. Include a folic acid supplement of at least 400 micrograms per day before you undergo IUI and after the procedure as well. This will help to reduce your baby's risk of anencephaly and spina bifida, which are birth defects that can happen in the first few weeks of pregnancy. Decrease your caffeine intake to less than 200 mg per day to decrease the chances of miscarrying after you are pregnant. Cut out alcohol altogether as well. Drink lots of water instead. While this step may seem silly, visualizing yourself as pregnant can make you happier and less stressed overall. In turn, that can increase your chances of getting pregnant. Therefore, as you are waiting for the go ahead from your ovulation kit, try visualization techniques a couple of times a day. One way to use this process is to simply envision yourself pregnant. Imagine your belly expanding and what it will feel like to have a baby kicking inside you, for instance. Another way is to use another image. For instance, you could imagine your uterus as a lotus, slowly blooming into a flower. If you haven't already, you should stop smoking. Smoking can adversely affect your chances of getting pregnant, so if you want to up your chances, try to cut out the cigarettes. You should also consider asking your partner to stop, as secondhand smoke can be just as bad.
A: Try to de-stress. Eat a healthy diet. Consider trying visualization. Stop smoking.

Q: Fill a microwave-safe bowl with 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of water. Add the cabbage, then cover it with plastic wrap. Poke a few holes into the plastic wrap with a fork or knife, then cook it on HIGH for 9 to 11 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap carefully, then serve the cabbage. Turn or stir the cabbage halfway through the cooking process. If you chopped the cabbage up, cook it for 4 to 6 minutes instead. Fill a crock pot with 1 cup (240 milliliters) of vegetable broth. Cut the quartered cabbage into thick strips, then add it to the pot. For a more filling meal, add 1 cup (150 grams) chopped carrots, 1 chopped yellow onion, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cover the crockpot, then cook the cabbage on LOW for 5 hours. The cabbage is ready when it turns tender. Start with a whole head of cabbage. Cut it into 14 to 12 inch (0.64 to 1.27cm) pieces. Season both sides of the cabbage with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Bake the cabbage in a preheated oven at 425F (218C) for 10 minutes. Flip the cabbage with a spatula, then bake it for 10 minutes more. If you don't like garlic, season the cabbage with olive oil, black pepper, mixed herbs seasoning, and fresh dill. Cut a cabbage into 8 wedges. Coat both sides of each wedge with softened butter, then season everything with cup (40 grams) of chopped onion, some garlic salt, and some pepper. Wrap each wedge with heavy-duty foil. Grill the wedges, covered, over medium heat for 20 minutes. Open the foil carefully. There will be lots of steam. If you want larger servings, cut the cabbage into 4 wedges instead. Grill them for 40 minutes, turning twice. Want a richer meal? Wrap each wedge with a strip of bacon before wrapping it in foil. Season 3 slices of chopped bacon with salt and pepper. Brown it in a large frying pan until it is crispy, about 5 minutes. Add 1 head of shredded cabbage and 1 chopped white onion, along with a pinch of sugar. Fry the mixture for another 5 minutes, stirring often.
A:
Microwave quartered cabbage for 9 to 11 minutes. Use a crockpot if you have more time. Use an oven to make cabbage steaks. Grill cabbage for 20 minutes for a quick summer meal. Try Southern fried cabbage with onion and bacon.
