Recipes

A bowl of the mixture with cinnamon on top.

2-Ingredient CheesecakeIf you have pudding mix and yogurt, you can make an excellent dessert in no time. I used my own homemade Greek yogurt and Jello sugar-free cheesecake pudding mix. You can use any flavor pudding mix you want. The possibilities are many.

 

A bowl of hearty sausage chickpea veggie soup.

Hearty Sausage Chickpea Veggie SoupI run to make this soup when I notice I have an abundance of veggies in my fridge. You don't even have to use these same veggies that I use in this recipe. I know I always change it up! After I boil the veggies, I puree them, add chickpeas and cooked sausage. This soup doesn't need too many herbal additions as the sausage and veggies bring a lot to the table. Really hits the spot on a cold day!

 

A casserole with beef and mushrooms.

Beef and Mushroom CasseroleLooking for a comforting casserole? This noodle casserole is a delicious mixture of mushrooms and beef. I got this recipe from my dear friend, Harold. It is a basic recipe and can be adjusted to your tastes.

Combining the two boxes into one.

Combining Snacks to Save SpaceI recently went to the dollar tree and found these snack breakfast bars. When I got them home, I realized that each one had 5 packettes in them. But they were taking up almost no room. So, I opened them both and saw I could fit all 10 in one package. I saved room in the pantry and they didn't flop around in the box and get broken.

 

Adding cornstarch to a rubber glove.

Quick Fix for Rubber GlovesWhen your rubber gloves don't slip on easily, try putting a dab of corn starch in them. Blow air into the glove like you would a balloon and give it a shake. The corn starch makes putting them on much easier.

 

Storing a child's puzzle in a small zippered laundry bag.

Keep Children's Puzzles OrganizedI get 3 laundry bags for $1 at Dollar Tree. They are perfect for storing puzzles. If the puzzle gets knocked over, the pieces remain in the bag.

 

A can organizer being used for craft supplies.

Partridge in a Pear TreeNo partridge here but after all, it is the Christmas season! It was interesting to see the pears beginning to ripen on the pear tree.

 

A pan with a mug inside to limit the volume when boiling an egg.

Boiling an Egg in a SaucepanI place a mug in the saucepan I use to boil an egg. This uses less water and hence less energy to get the job done. 

 

Several skeins of embroidery floss in a plastic container.

Embroidery Floss OrganizerThis is a way to organize little bits of leftover embroidery floss. Use the plastic holders that come on packages of bread. Wrap the floss around the center of the plastic holder. Store in a plastic craft container with dividers and organize by color.

Fixing a Circuit Breaker?There is this one circuit breaker in my 1979 mobile home that continuously trips and it always has every since I was a little kid back when it was my dad's home. We usually just unplug something along the circuit, switch the breaker back on, and it stops for awhile. This morning it started tripping over and over even though nothing new has been added to that particular circuit. So I went through and turned off or unplugged everything except one lamp in the living room. It still keeps tripping the breaker even with just the one lamp on it!

Laundry Odor from HE Washer?I have an HE LG washer and dryer. About a year ago, my laundry started smelling like vomit. Only way I can describe. We have well water, a softener, and a conditioner that removes the sulphur odor, too.

 

A wooden object inside, resembling a ladder or chair back.

Identify This Wooden Object?This is a wooden object about 4 feet high, 2 feet wide and looks a bit like a ladder but the top pulls off. Belonged on my grandfather's farm and could be 100 years old. My family would like to know what it is and how it was used.
