Homemade Breakfast Bars
Does anyone have recipes for breakfast bars or cookies that are nutritious, and that my children will like? Getting them to eat in the morning is always a chore, and I refuse to buy them toaster pastries and such. I would like ideas for any breakfasts that are nutritious, taste good to kids, and ideally, that can be made up in bulk ahead of time. Thank you.

Removing Garlic Odor

I moved into a duplex and the previous tenant had some rotting garlic under the sink. The odor has gone into the wood cabinetry under the sink and I can't seem to get it out. Any suggestions?

Field Mice

I live on one acre in the country and am having big problems with field mice. I have trapped 20 in the last three weeks and they are driving me crazy. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the critters? Can't have a cat, the dog won't allow it! What about poisons? Won't they die in the house (yuck!) Any suggestions welcome.
--Dawn.
