One of my absolute favorite meals is hamburgers. I always mix in at least 1-2 seasonings, the most flavorful for me being ranch and onion powders. I dread the mixing and shaping part though because bits of the ground beef sticks to my hands, as I roll and flatten.

Hard Boiled EggsFor hard boiling eggs: Put water in the pot, bring to a rolling boil. Add eggs and boil for 15 minutes. The trick is "do not add salt or oil" to the pot. The shells will slide off. No more torn up eggs.

Gingerbread cookies with small "babies".
Cookie Exchanges for New ParentsWhile making my cookies for my family cookie exchange, I decided to put these together for my daughter, who is pregnant with twins! I happened to have regular and small cookie cutters of gingerbread figures and just wanted to give anyone with children or pregnant the idea that they can do so as well!

A whole turkey that has been cut in half.
Take that Free Turkey or HamIf you've earned enough to get a turkey or ham for free or incredibly cheap during the holidays but don't think you can use that big of a piece of meat, ask your butcher if they will cut it in half and rewrap it up for you!

A box of Sleepytime tea.
Sun Tea from Used Tea BagsInstead of throwing out your old tea bags, try this instead and save money. Take a small empty jar and once you have used your tea bag, put it in the small jar. Once you have collected 5 or 6 teabags, then get a gallon jar or a glass pitcher and move your tea bags to it. Fill with water and then set out in the sun for a few hours.

A container containing shredded cheese and a measuring cup used as a scoop.
Cheese ScoopWhen I could have bread, I used to baste my morning eggs. But now, I have shredded cheese on my over-hard eggs. I got an idea that if I had a little scoop in there, it would keep my hands cleaner.

Loaves of bread with paper towels inside the bags.
Keep Frozen Bread Tasting FreshI never pay more than $1.00 for 100% whole wheat bread. I frequently pay a lot less. When I find a good deal, I stock up. I recently learned that if you put a paper towel in the bread wrapper before you freeze it, and leave it in place after thawing, the bread will be as soft and fresh tasting as fresh.

A coffee grinder for making fine coffee powder.
Cheap Espresso PowderUse your coffee grinder to grind 1/2 the amount of ground coffee. Ground coffee has not been brewed yet, so it is stronger than espresso powder and you will need less.
