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. Recipe
