Some Handy Tips

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. Broken Glass Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken pieces of glass-the fibers catch ones you can't see! 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! 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.   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. 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. ! It unseals easily. 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 -  - static Is gone. No More Mosquitoes Place a dryer sheet in  your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.   More about dryer sheets. I recycle mine and have one in every window sill to keep those small bugs from coming in through the screen. Also have one tied to my wind chimes, keeps bees and wasps away. Instead of buying a filter for the vent for the air return on the wall for the heater/aircondition.. I use recycled fabric dryer sheets. I put them on the outside of the vent, with small magnets, the air flows in adding a nice scent to the air and I can see when they need to be changed.   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 dish washing 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! Take baby powder to the beach Keep a small container 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. Easier Thank You's When you throw a bridal/baby shower, buy a pack of thank you cards for the guest of honor. During the party, pass out the envelopes and  have everyone put their address on one. When the bride/new mom sends the thank you's, they're all addressed!
