I think we'd all agree our time is precious and we all would like to save money so I will try to help in my little way with some tips, tools and a few helpful hints to save you time and money.
I am adding to today's list a handy kitchen tool that I love. I may not use it everyday but it sure comes in handy and doesn't take much space in your kitchen cabinet drawer.
Making your kitchen time a little easier with a few FYI's:
List #2
3. A
Southern curiosity are Kool-Aid Pickles, aka Koolickles. Dump out half the
brine from a jar of pickles. Refill with your favorite brand of Kool-Aid. Let
them sit for 24 hours and then enjoy.
4. The
simpler the better sometimes: Coleslaw: Chop green cabbage, a little
mayonnaise, a little apple cider vinegar and some sugar. That's it.
5. When
we're on diets we like to keep celery and carrot sticks readily available. I
prepare them and then store them in a plastic tub of water.

Making your kitchen time a little easier with a few FYI's:
List #2
1. The
secrets of a blue ribbon pie maker: Use ice cold water. Handle the dough as
little as possible and mix and prepare it as quickly as you can.
2. Mix used
coffee grounds in with the soil in your garden or in pots. It makes for instant
compost and will keep slugs away too.
6. When
baking with honey, remember the following: add l/2 teaspoon baking soda for
each cup of honey used.

| Small funnel. I buy larger size Olive Oil and Vinegar and this tool comes in handy for me to transfer liquid to a smaller bottle. Keep one of you old OO and Vinegar bottles and you will save money. |
8. What I
have found is that it is recommended to follow a tried and tested recipe when
using honey. However, when you are looking to substitute honey for sugar, using a little
baking soda helps to neutralize the acidity of the honey."
9. One cup (8 ounces) of dried beans increases to 2 cups (1 to
1� pounds) of soaked beans.
10. To keep
potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.
