Heat
up leftover pizza in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove.
Set
heat
to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy.
No
soggy micro pizza.
I
saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.
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,
place them
in
a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will
keep
the
food moist and help it reheat faster.
Newspaper
Weeds-Away
Start
putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet
newspapers,
put
layers around the plants overlapping as you go, cover with mulch
and
forget
about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic; 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 ones you can't see!
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.
Flexible
vacuum
To
get something out of a heat register or under the fridge, add an
empty paper
towel
roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It 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.
Dump
out the hot water, but don't dry the cup. Next, add your
ingredient,
such
as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.
Foggy
Windshield?
Hate
foggy windshields?
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.
Voila!
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 1/2"
with Apple Cider Vinegar
and
2 drops of dishwashing liquid; mix well. You will find those
flies 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,"
and
can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, esp.
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 you're
ready to leave
the
beach sprinkle yourself and kids with the powder and the sand
will slide right
off
your skin.
