When bringing home a bunch of bananas from the store, instead of leaving them connected at the stem,
disconnect them and they won't over-ripen so fast.
Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold.
Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the
bottom are firmer and better for cooking.
Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease from the meat while cooking.
To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese,
or heavy cream in and then beat them up.
For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over
warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting.
Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic, and at the end of the recipe if you
want a stronger taste of garlic.
Leftover Snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert. Simply chop them up with the food
chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy
bars over the apples. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes!!! Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream.
Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm.
This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza.
Easy Deviled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolk in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash until they are all broken up. Add the remainder of
ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up, mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggie, squeeze mixture
into egg. Just throw baggie 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 and 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, but they will not get through wet newspapers.
Broken Glass
Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily.
No More Mosquitoes
Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.
