Just for You

Be sure to divide your "to do" list in half while jotting it down. Keep the right side for those things that you've done already -- even the routine ones that you do without a list, out of habit. It's a feel-good thing and may surprise you at how important those things you've accomplished might have been.

Custard Pie Help

When a custard-type pie doesn't set in the center after baking, carefully transfer it to the microwave. Heat for 30-second intervals until it sets up. It won't burn the rest while it finishes cooking.

Save on Storage Bags

Save money and use the cheaper twist-tie storage bags when you have a choice, instead of reaching for the zipper top bags. Unless you are freezing foods, most times they work just as well, and it leaves the heavier ones for their intended use.

Organize Ingredients

Use the small individual cups from applesauce to divide smaller amounts of ingredients when assembling a recipe. It saves on using larger measuring cups or containers and makes for easier clean up.

Quick-peel Tomatoes

Slightly freeze garden tomatoes, then run them under hot water for a second. The skin will peel off so easily! Then cook your sauce and freeze it in portion-size freezer bags. They'll lie flat in the freezer for wintertime enjoyment. You'll save money making it yourself and really enjoy the fresh, summertime flavor.

Heat Treatments at Hand

Crockpots are great for heating facial towels, or for hot oil treatments for your hair. I keep one just for that purpose, roll a few towels and place them in it when I take time for those things.

Summer Energy Saver

Use the microwave and crock pot on hot summer days. They both use less energy and keep the kitchen cooler.
