Helpful Monday

Here are some helpful tips that you may not know about. 
I've tried quite a fews of these and they seem to work!
Hope you have a happy day!!



Reheat Pizza: 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.

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 it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze
mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.

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 glass pieces of Glass-
the fibers catch ones you can't see!

No More Mosquitoes! Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will
keep the mosquitoes away.

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.

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...

Goodbye 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," & can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a
week or so, especially if it rains, but it works & you don't have the
worry about pets or small children being harmed! (rice works, too!!)

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.
