List of Ingredients
1)Save the plastic bags that your cereal comes in as it has
many excellent uses. It makes a great freezer wrap (put in
meats, etc) You can also use it for coating chicken or
potatoes.
2)Use less meat by adding oatmeal or tsp (texured soy
protein) This cooks up like hamburger meat but has no taste.
Add it half and half with hamburger meat for taco's,
spagetti, sloppy joes etc and noone can tell. Also use 1/4
th oatmeal to 3/4's ground meat with great results.
3)Dice up green peppers, onions, and celery, flash freeze on
a cookie sheet, and store in ziplock bags. If you buy them
on sale, then you will have them for when they are too
expensive.
4)Recipe call for self rising flour but you just have
regular flour? Just add 1 tsp baking powder and 1/4th tsp
salt per cup of flour.
5)Cut your SOS pads in half or even fourths. You will get
the same cleaning power out of them but they will last a lot
longer.
6)Do you have a pan that has stuck on food that is hard to
get off? Put a half of a dryer sheet (dollar store brand
works great) and fill with water.. the next morning the food
will wipe right out.
7)Drop an egg? Sprinkle salt on it and it will wipe right
up.
8)Clean with baking soda and vinegar and keep a spray bottle
with a little bit of bleach and filled with water.
9)For fast cleanup in your microwave nuk a glass bowl of
water until it boils and then let sit for 5 minutes.
Everything will wipe right out.
10)Store brown sugar in the freezer, it prevents it from
getting hard.
11)Instead of throwing out your bread heels save them in a
freezer bag and use them late for bread crumbs.
12)Dilute juices with water (kids will never know the
difference if you do it when they are young and they will
get use to it if they are older)
13)Keep a tupperware type bowl in your freezer to add
leftover veggies to it to use in soups and stews for later.
14)If you like fresh soft cookies put a piece of bread into
your cookie tin or jar. This will keep them soft and fresh.
