Pecan Pie Brownies
Sounds great, unfortunately, I stopped reading when I saw 1 box fudge brownie mix.
Easy Tips On Being Green
I like the point about idling. When you pop into the corner store to buy your milk, etc. turn off your vehicle. People shouldnt be surprised if their car is stolen while they just pop in for a minute. Even when I pick up the kids in winter, if I know that I...
Using Google for Measurement Conversions
Great idea. That will come in handy when a recipe call for ounces. I have no clue what ounces are. Thanks.
Recycled Magazine Holders
I remember doing this once with my daughter, only we used empty laundry soap boxes (remember them?). We didnt cover them with ordinary fabric, but with faux fur fabric. Very colour full and interesting looking. (We also covered the inside of the box as well...
Decorate Shoe Boxes For Storage
If youre going to use them for storage, try to get boxes that are the same (or same size). Shoe stores dont mind giving you old boxes, so it may be easier to get them than you think. Ive also used shoe boxes for childrens birthday loot instead of bags.
Make Wraps for a Quick Dinner
I usually spread a thin layer of spreadable cream cheese on the wrap, it helps hold it together when you roll it up.
Check For Library Fines Before Moving
Check to see if your library is on-line. Checking from home is a lot easier and quicker, and who knows, you might actually find a book to read in the process!
Equitable Easter Egg Hunt
Yes this works great especially with kids of differing ages. The last few years Ive put written clues in the egg to find the location of the next egg. Thats tough to do, because you have to work backwards in hiding your eggs and writing clues.
Peanut Caramel Popcorn
This must be the Nut free version! ;) How much peanuts do you add to this, and are they plain or salted? (b)Editors Note:(/b) Good point Ron. I thought we had fixed this one. Add 1 cup roasted peanuts (either plain or salted but you may want to add less salt...
Creating Quality Home Movies
I always found that when youre shooting children, its best to get down to their level. You catch more of their expressin that way and they look better too!
Tips From The Refrigerator Repair Man
My fridge is about 8 years old. I regularly vacuum the dust from behind the fridge, but I only recently started vacuuming the dust from UNDER it as well. The dust builds up on the coils, causing the fridge to draw more electricity and make more noise.
Making Tastier Bologna Sandwiches
When I was a kid I used to put ketchup between 2 slices of bologna. Nowadays, I still eat bologna, mainly due to the cost, but simple ketchup just doesnt cut it for me. I still add a drop of ketchup, but I also add a drop of hot sauce, some curry powder (helps...
Sunday Evenings for Shopping
Great suggestion, but how fresh are the produce and the bakery items? I like to do my Christmas shopping in the evenings at Wal-Mart after 10 because not many people are out shopping that late.
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Torte
Can you tell me if there is a difference between crushed crackers and crumbs? This sounds good. Id like to try this one. (b)Editors Note:(/b) I doubt if there is much difference except that crumbs would not have any pieces of recognizable cracker in them. Crushed...
