christmas tipsThese tips will help make your life around the Holidays a bit easier.

Easy Stuffed Eggs: To mix your egg filling, place cooked yolks in a plastic bag. Add your mayo and other ingredients to the bag. Squeeze to mix. Cut the tip off of the bag and fill your egg whites. No mess!

Meatloaf: Into a plastic zip lock bag add your ground beef and other meatloaf ingredients. Zip and mix with your hands. Dump into your crockpot or loaf pan and pat down with a wooden spoon. Your hands stay clean!

Reheat your pizza: On the stove in a non-stick pan. The crusts will stay crisp and not get soggy like in the microwave.
Make your frosting go farther: If you buy canned frosting, before you spread it on your cake, whip it up with a mixer. You will get more frosting to frost your treats.

Break a glass: Use a dry cotton ball to pick up the little bits you can not see.

No stick measuring cups: Measuring something sticky like peanut butter? Fill your measuring cup with hot water and dump out. Do not dry. Your ingredients should not stick.
You could also spray it with cooking spray.

Fruit flies: Place a cup of apple cider vinegar with 2 drops of dish washing liquid near fruit. The flies will be drawn into the cup and gone

To reheat bread: For bread, biscuits, muffins, pancakes, waffles, any bread really, reheat it in the microwave with a cup of water. They will stay moist.

Impress your out of town gusts with these nifty tips and tricks.
