List of Ingredients



• Keep salad crisp: To prevent greens from getting all soggy, place an inverted saucer in the bottom of your salad bowl before adding lettuce. Excess water collects under the dish instead of "limpifying" your greens.
  
• Pour cooking oil with confidence: Instead of removing the foil seal from the new bottle of cooking oil,cut a slit in it to slow the flow and give you more pouring control.
  
• Recycle squeeze bottles: When your plastic ketchup container has squirted its last drop, give it new life as a squeeze bottle for salad dressings and marinades. Simply run the empty bottle through your dishwasher to use over and over.
  
• Decorate cakes like a pro: For goof-proof inscriptions on your homemade cake, create a template by writing your message with a toothpick. Then trace with icing. The grooves left by the pick will help the icing stay put.
  
• Whip up your own buttermilk: Need a small amount of buttermilk for baking? Make your own substitute by mixing 1 Tbls. of white vinegar into 1 cup of whole milk. Let sit for a half hour before adding to your recipe.
