12 Thrifty Trash to Treasure CraftsPlastic bottles, old magazines, paper grocery bags and tattered sweaters all have something in common - they're trash.  But that's not all, they also make great materials for crafting!  From yogurt containers to oatmeal boxes, there's plenty of trash waiting to be turned into works of art.  Even plastic bread tags can be used to make a stylish-looking necklace with the help of a little paint.

Using recycled materials or trash in your projects is also a fun way to save money. 

The essence of nutrition guidance is to provide the public with the best information available to assist them in making wise and nutritious food choices to  sustain life and good health. We are deeply concerned that Americans not only have enough food but also that the public has enough information to know what food to purchase and how to prepare it.

The book provides basic cooking and food safety guidance.
