Great Information and Hints  for Todays Family

 

 

 

Reheat Pizza
~~
~~ Heat up leftover pizza in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove,
~~
~~  set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy.
~~No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really
~~works.
~~
~~
~~
~~ Easy Deviled Eggs
~~
~~  Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all
~~broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up
~~mixing thoroughly, cut the corner tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture
~~into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.
~~
~~
~~
~~ Expanding Frosting
~~
~~  When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with
~~your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to
~~frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less
~~sugar/calories per serving.
~~
~~
~~
~~ Reheating refrigerated bread
~~
~~  To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place
~~them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will
~~keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.
~~
~~
~~
~~ Newspaper weeds away
~~
~~ Start putting in your plants; work the nutrients in your soil. Wet
~~
~~  newspapers put layers around the plants overlapping as you go cover
~~with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some
~~gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.
~~
~~
~~
~~ Broken Glass
~~
~~ Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken glass pieces of
~~
~~ glass- the fibers catch ones you can't see!
~~
~~
~~
~~ No More Mosquitoes
~~
~~ Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.
~~
~~
~~
~~ Squirrel Away!
~~
~~  To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants with
~~cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the
~~squirrels won't come near it.
~~
~~
~~
~~ Flexible vacuum
~~
~~  To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an
~~empty paper towel roll or empty gif wrap roll to your vacuum hose. It
~~can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.
~~
~~
~~
~~ Reducing Static Cling
~~
~~ Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not
~~
~~  have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling
~~when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and - voila -
~~static is gone.
~~
~~
~~
~~ Measuring Cups
~~
~~  Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill it with
~~hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry the cup. Next, add
~~your ingredient, such as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes
~~right out.
~~
~~
~~
~~ Foggy Windshield?
~~
~~  Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the
~~glove box of your car. When the windows fog, rub with the eraser! Works
~~better than a cloth!
~~
~~
~~
~~ Reopening envelope
~~
~~ If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include
~~
~~  something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for
~~an hour or two. Voila! It unseals easily.
~~
~~
~~
~~ Conditioner
~~
~~ Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper
~~
~~  than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a
~~great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you
~~tried it in your hair...
~~
~~
~~
~~ Goodbye Fruit Flies
~~
~~ To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass fill it 1/2"
~~
~~  with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dishwashing liquid, mix well.
~~You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!
~~
~~
~~
~~ Get Rid of Ants
~~
~~  Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it
~~"home," & can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so,
~~esp. if it rains, but it works & you don't have the worry about pets or
~~small children being harmed!
~~
~~
~~
~~ Take baby powder to the beach
~~
~~  Keep a small bottle of baby powder in your beach bag. When your ready
~~to leave the beach sprinkle yourself and kids with the powder and the
~~sand will slide right off your skin.
