A little-known fact: Pork tenderloin is just as lean and low-fat as skinless chicken breast, with slightly less than 3 grams of fat in a 3-ounce cooked serving. It's versatile, too, and can be roasted, grilled, sauteed or stir-fried.

2½ tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Timeout is just one tool -- and it really isn't a "discipline" tool; it's an effective anger-management tool. Since the purpose of a timeout is to help someone regain control, it is most appropriate to use when someone has lost self-control or there is extremely disruptive behavior.
Most adults have the mistaken idea that the whole point of sending children to timeout is to make the
