    List of Ingredients





    * If you should run out of powdered sugar, just take
    regular sugar and blend it in a food processor.

    * Often times a recipe calls for buttermilk. If you don't
    have any, just combine 1 cup mild with 1 T vinegar.

    * To hull strawberries, just insert a straw through the
    bottom towards the top. This removes the center and the
    leaves easily.

    * The easiest way to get rid of gnats is to leave a small
    glass of wine out on the counter overnight. The gnats
    will be attracted and drown in the wine.

    * Run out of baking powder? Just combine 2 T cream of
    tartar, 1 T cornstarch and 1 T baking soda.

    * To test the freshness of baking powder, just mix 1 tsp
    of the baking powder with 1/3 cup hot water. If it does
    not foam, it is not fresh.

    * Before chopping nuts in a food processor, dust them
    with flour. This keeps the nuts from sticking to the
    processor.

    * When a recipe calls for a measurement of butter or
    shortening, such as 1/2 cup, and you dont have a stick
    of butter, fill a 2 cup measuring cup with 1 cup water.
    Add the butter until the water level hits the 1 1/2 cup
    mark. The water will be displaced by the butter.

    * To keep bugs out of flour, place a couple of bay
    leaves in the container.

    * To butter corn on the cob in a hurry: Simply butter a
    piece of bread and rub onto the corn!

    * Serving fresh fruit? To keep the fruit from turning
    brown, try adding Sprite or 7up over them.

    * You know how recipe cards can get so dirty. Put the
    card in the prongs of a fork and set the fork in a glass
    in front of you.
