Easy Deviled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up.
Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing/squeezing it until mixed
thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. No messy clean
up, just throw bag away when done.
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 with the same amount. You also eat less sugar/calories per
serving.
Reheating Refrigerated Bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated: heat a cup of
water in the microwave for about 45-60 seconds. Then place your bread in the
microwave (leaving the cup of water in there) and then heat your bread. The
increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.
Newspaper Weeds Away
Wet the newspapers, put layers around the plants overlapping as you go, cover
with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds can get through some gardening
plastic, but they will not get through wet newspapers.
Broken Glass
Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken pieces of glass - the fibers
catch slivers you can't see!
Squirrel Away!
To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants with cayenne
pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come
near it.
Easier Thank You's
When you throw a bridal/baby shower, buy a pack of thank you cards for the
guest of honor. As the guests arrive, provide an envelope to everyone and have
them put their address on it. When the bride/new mom sends the thank you's,
they're all addressed!
TO PROVE IT'S MINE!!!!!
If you purchase a new bike for your child, place their picture inside the
handle bar before placing the grips on. If the bike is stolen and later
recovered, remove the grip and there is your proof who owns the bike. But
avoid putting your address on the picture (for your child's protection) in case
the picture happens to be found by the criminal.
Flexible Vacuum
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge, attach an empty
paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum hose. The empty roll
can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.
Reducing Static Cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy
skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty
hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and - voila - static is gone.
Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill it with hot water
then pour it out, but don't dry the cup. Immediately add your ingredient, such
as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.
Foggy 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!
Reopening Envelope
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. It
unseals easily.
Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot cheaper than shaving
cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the
conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair.
Good-bye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass fill it about a 1/2" with
Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dishwashing liquid, mix well. The flies will
be 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!
Take Baby Powder To The Beach
Keep a small bottle of baby powder in your beach bag. When your ready to leave
the beach, sprinkle yourself and kids with the powder and the sand will slide
right off your skin
