More House - Hold Tips
After drying my sheets, I put both of the
Neatly folded sheets and one of the
Pillowcases in the other pillow case.
The next time you change sheets, you
Just take out the one pillow case with the
Sheets and the other pillow case inside.
No need to look for matches.
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.
Easy Deviled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal
The bag and mash till they are all broken up.
Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep
Mashing it up, mixing thoroughly.
Cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze the mixture
Into the egg.
Then simply 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 fewer 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 by putting in your plants.
Work your normal nutrients into
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 plastics. They will NOT
Get through wet newspapers.
Broken Glass
Use a dry cotton ball to pick
Up little broken pieces of glass
- the fibers catch ones you
Can't see!
No More Mosquitoes
Observation (Dolcena)
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.
To keep them from eating all of
Your bird seed, add red pepper
Flakes to the seed.
The birds aren't bothered by it,
But the squirrels hate it!
Easier Thank You's
When you throw a bridal/baby
Shower, buy a pack of Thank You
Cards for the guest of honor.
During the party, pass out the
Envelopes and have everyone
Put their address on one.
When the bride/new mother
Gets ready to write out the
Thank you notes, they're all
Addressed!
