Kitchen Tips #15

1. Mix club soda with Koolaid for a fizzy drink similar to soda pop.

2. Mix together 50% club soda and 50% cold juice together for a fizzy juice drink.

4. Make your own mint tea by adding a few sprigs of mint to a hot cup of tea.

5. Add marshmallows dipped into cinnamon to make a surprise to your hot chocolate.

Kitchen Tips #14

1.) Use a small funnel to separate your eggs. Crack egg over the funnel and   egg white will run through the funnel, not the yolk.

2.) If you’re going to use canned fruit for baking rinse with water and pat dry.

3) I use a potato peeler to peel the stringy part off celery 4.) Have you ever turned a bottle of ketchup over and nothing comes out?  Inserting and removing either a straw or knife in a ketchup bottle will cause  a  vacuum and break loose the clog. Now, pour ketchup as usual.
5.) Running hot water over the lid prior to opening a canned ham will melt the  gelatin and the ham will slide right out.

Kitchen Tips #13

1. Use club soda instead of water for lighter pancakes or waffles.

2. Prevent soggy sandwiches in lunch boxes or sack lunches by spread any condiment between the meat, cheese, or lettuce instead of directly on the bread.

3. Before you sift flour on wax paper, make a crease down the middle, this creates a handy pouring spout.

4. If you only need a couple of pieces of cake cut from the middle, it will stay fresher longer.

5. Prevent the skin from forming on pudding or custard by placing plastic wrap on the surface before letting it sets up.

Kitchen Tips #12

1.Scatter fresh herbs soaked in water and drained on charcoals. This will infuse the flavors of the herbs into food on the grill.

2.Save time with your grilling by putting charcoal into a paper bag, and light the bag.

3.Place hamburger or hot dog with buns into a Ziploc bag after removing from grill. Leave in the bag a few minutes and it will steam in the bag.

4.Boil pork chops, or chicken prior to Barbecuing to tenderize meat. After boiling, drain water and marinate meat in barbecue sauce for 20 minutes, grill as desired.

5. Have a spray bottle of water next to your grill in case of flare ups on the grill.

6.Line bottom of grill with aluminum foil and remove the charcoal with foil for easy clean up.
