From the grill to the pan, great burger recipes start with quality ingredients like lean ground beef, possibly the Kobe variety for special occasions. Don't stop there; any "burger" connoisseur will agree that some of the best burger recipes don't necessarily have to involve beef. http://www.sheknows.com/food-and-recipes/articles/823987/quick-tasty-burger-recipes Suzi Milovanovic Thu, 03 Feb 2011 21:35:00 -0800 http://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/articles/823781/afraid-of-the-dentist-a-dental-cowards-survival-guide It's pretty hard to confuse going to the dentist with a walk in the park. Fear of pain, awful sounds and the unknown leads to high anxiety intense enough that, for many people, the only way to deal is to ultimately opt out and avoid the dentist altogether. Some level of anxiety about going to the dentist is normal, but neglecting your health as a result doesn't have to be the only solution. http://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/articles/823781/afraid-of-the-dentist-a-dental-cowards-survival-guide Suzi Milovanovic Thu, 03 Feb 2011 21:29:00 -0800 http://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/articles/823779/what-you-need-to-know-before-getting-braces Who wouldn't want a great smile complete with sparkling white teeth all perfectly aligned in a row? Braces can help achieve this image, but ask anyone who wore dental braces as a teenager about the experience and many will shudder from the memory. Emblazoned in their memories are the endless taunts about their mouth full of metal brackets, bulky headgear and unforgettable terms like "brace face." http://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/articles/823779/what-you-need-to-know-before-getting-braces Suzi Milovanovic Thu, 03 Feb 2011 21:23:00 -0800 http://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/articles/823775/5-ways-to-keep-from-getting-stained-teeth Ask any dentist and you'll find that the most common question from patients is how to get whiter teeth, mostly because of the image stained teeth present. No matter how great the hair or how spectacular the outfit, stains on your teeth diminish the wow factor for even the most attractive of people. http://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/articles/823775/5-ways-to-keep-from-getting-stained-teeth Suzi Milovanovic Thu, 03 Feb 2011 21:11:00 -0800 http://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/articles/823773/the-disgusting-truth-about-your-toothbrush The toothbrush is a simple concept that dates back to the "chew stick" used by ancient civilizations more than 5000 years ago.

While many diets fads initially seem like a magical cure, they end up unsuccessful in the long run because they never address all of the components of what successful, permanent weight loss entails. http://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/articles/822397/long-term-weight-loss-tips Suzi Milovanovic Mon, 26 Mar 2012 08:55:00 -0700 http://www.sheknows.com/health-and-wellness/articles/822391/new-body-by-valentines-day-5-hints-to-get-there The summer's hottest bikinis are already hitting the racks at the stores near you... and while you're barely beginning to shed your winter layers, summer is truly just around the corner.
