>

> Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them

connected at the stem, they ripen faster.

>

> Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much

longer and not mold! (But you can scrape off any mold and still eat the cheese

without changes in flavor!

>

> Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers

with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and stronger flavored.

>

>

>

>

>

> Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease

away from the meat while cooking.

>

> To make scrambled eggs or omelets richer, add a couple of spoonfuls of sour

cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream and then beat them up.

>

> 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.

>

> Reheat leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove on medium-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, mash, add

remainder of ingredients, keep mashing, mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy,

squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw the bag away!

>

> 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 for the same price. 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 bread moist and help it reheat faster.

>

> Newspaper weeds away. Plant your plants in the ground; 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.

>

> To keep squirrels from eating your plants, sprinkle plants with cayenne pepper.

The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plants and squirrels won't come near them.

>

> Flexible vacuum. To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add

an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or

flattened to get in narrow openings.

>

> Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip or slacks to eliminate static

cling. It works; you will not have a clingy skirt or dress, or slacks when wearing

panty hose; ... Ta DA! ... Static is gone.

>

> Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water.

Dump out the hot water but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as peanut

butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

>

> De-fog your windshield: 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!

>

> Re-opening envelopes: 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. Only for old- fashioned "lick-type"

envelopes!

>

> Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's cheaper than shaving cream

and leaves your legs really smooth.

>

> 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 dish washing 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,

especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small

children being harmed!

>

> Drop a small object on the carpet and can't find it. Place panty hose over the

end of the vacuum hose and start vacuuming. The panty hose will keep it from getting

sucked into the vacuum.

>

> Need to cut some corn off the cob. Use your Bundt pan. Place the ear on the

opening in the center of the pan, and as you slide the knife down the ear, all the

kernels will collect in the main part of the pan.
