Some Tips
Many tips and tricks are handed down from grandmother to mother to daughter. They always seem to work well.
I came across some tips I thought I would share with you. Try them and see if they work. I sure intend to. :-)
If you peel a banana from the bottom you won't have to pick the little 'stringy things' off of it. That's how all the primates do it.
Separate your bananas when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen much faster.
Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. The cheese will stay fresh much longer and not mold!
Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.
Add a teaspoon of water when sauting ground beef. It will help to pull the grease away from the meat.
To make terrific scrambled eggs or omelets add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, heavy cream, or Fat Free Half and Half before beating them.
For a super brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Get set for a wonderful minty frosting.
Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and add at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.
Leftover snickers bars from Halloween or Christmas make a delicious dessert. Simple chop them up with the food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over th e apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!!! Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream.
Reheating Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy microwave 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 the bag away when done for an 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 will also be eating less sugar and calories per serving.
No doubt in my mind you got some tips as well. I sure would like to hear them, so please share! Thanks. :-)
