How to Clean Your House for the Holidays (or any day)
1. Open a new file on
your computer.
2. Name it "Housework."
3. Send it to the "Recycle Bin" (PC Users) or "Trash"
(Apple Users)
4. Empty the "Recycle Bin" or "Trash".

Feel better? Works for me!
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.
Mona, Orlando, FL
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.
Kathy, Mesick, MI
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.
Dave, Camden, DE
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.
Linda, Monmouth Jct., NJ
Broken Glass
Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken glass pieces of
glass- the fibers catch ones you can't see!
Olive, Santee, CA
No More Mosquitoes
Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes
away.
Diane, Moran, SC
Squirrel Away!
To keep squirrels from eating your plants sprinkle your plants
with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant
and the squirrels won't come near it.
Kathy, Maumelle, AR
MINE!!!!!
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.
Janet, Carthage, IL
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.
Donna, Anderson, SC
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
- voila - static is gone.
Pam, Maple Rapids, NH
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.
Kim, Goldsboro, NC
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!
Alicia, Tampa, FL
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 trie d it in your hair...
Kerry, Canada,
Goodbye 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!
Barbra, Birch Run, MI
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, esp. if it rains, but it works & you
don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!
Teresa, Mitchell, SD
Take baby powder to the beach
Keep a small bottle of baby powder in your beach bag. When your
ready to leave the beach sprinkle yourself and kids with the powder
and the sand will slide right off your skin.
