Homemade Bisquick
If I can make something from scratch or using the ingredients in my cupboard, I will. So, when I found this recipe, I was thrilled because I buy Bisquick or Jiffy mix all the time to make biscuits, pancakes, waffles, etc.http://www.ms-notsoperfect.com/2011/10/homemade-bisquick.html

Magnetic spice rack
I have about 7 of these that I keep on my range hood. I keep spices in my mine but as you can see cookie/cupcake/cake sprinkles are a great idea too. I like mine because they are so convenient when I am cooking. Click on title to view

Never to old to learn something new
Last week while browsing recipe sites I learned something I have never known. At the end of aluminum foil or plastic wrap rolls there are tabs you punch in to keep the roll locked in place. I can't tell you how many times I have had a roll fall out of the box and I have had to roll it back up and put it back in the box. Now, I hope I have helped someone else to keep their rolls in place! : )

Tips
Crack Egg In Cup Before Measuring Shortening or Margarine
Tired of trying to clean the margarine or shortening out of the measuring cup after you use it? I am! But I discovered a trick today. If your recipe calls for an egg(s), crack the egg into the measuring cup your going to use for measuring the margarine or shortening. Pour the egg into your mixing bowl. now using the same measuring cup that the egg was in, measure out the margarine or shortening. You will be surprised at how easily the margarine or shortening comes out leaving behind no greasy gobs of shortening or margarine.

Single edged razor blade useful for spills
| I always keep a razor blade holder with a new single edge blade in it in my kitchen drawer. It is a great tool for cleaning ceramic stove top spills, caked on spills in the refrigerator or other stubborn spots. Just hold the blade at about a 30 degree angle so you don't scratch what you are working on (especially on your ceramic stove top). Draw the blade across just like you are scraping paint. Usually peels right off. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

I previously stated that I subscribe to Tip Nut but I was wrong. I realized it today when I got my newsletter from Tip Hero. This is the website where I have gotten many tips, freebies and coupons. Just thought I'd correct myself if anyone was interested. : ) Click on the title of this post to view most current newsletter

I love to browse this website and I subscribe to their newsletter. They often have freebies that I submit my name and address for. The last time I submitted mine, it was for a free sample of Better Than Ears from Walmart. It was a small sample but Rebel and Dixie loved them. Plus, it came with a $1.00 off coupon. So, when Bi-Lo had them on sale for 1.76, I bought a good sized package for .76. When I go them home, I cut each one in half to economize and they don't need a whole one.
