kitchen hints
Leftover Mayonaise If you are making lunch and you notice that there is just a little mayonnaise left in the jar, but not enough for any recipe or a sandwich. Pour in a bit of vinegar, add some herbs, close the lid and shake well. You now have enough salad dressing for a small salad. LEFTOVER COOKIES Ok, I bet you are thinking to yourself "there is no such thing as left over cookies!" Ahh, but there are. You just have never thought about it. These are the cookie crumbs and broken cookies that you find in the bottom of the bag. There is no reason to toss these little treasures! Sprinkle them over a scoop of ice cream or a cup of pudding. Adds variety to great everyday treats! LEFTOVER LIMES/LEMONS When you are cooking, sometimes you are left with a few scrap pieces of lemon or lime. You can place these pieces into a freezer bag and place in the freezer for up to 2 months. The next time that you would like to have a cool drink, pull out your lemon/lime wedge and drop it in for a refreshing treat. LEFT OVER SPAGHETTI? If you have made up a large spaghetti dinner, but you have some noodles and sauce left over, simply layer the noodles, sauce and some cheese slices in to a casserole dish. Cover tightly and place in the freezer. Now the next time that you need a quick dinner, pull from the freezer and place in a preheated oven at 350ยบ. Bake for 35-40 minutes until bubbly on top. lr smiles --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
