Nylon Potato KeeperBorrowed technology, that's what it is, People, borrowed technology. I got this idea from our ever clever fellow member, Miz Toosa (Attosa). She posted a great tip on keeping onions lots longer by hanging them in nylons.

Just drop squares of chocolate straight on top while it is fresh out of the oven. It will melt and you can spread it straight away without fuss, mess or waste

Making Thin Sugar CookiesThis is a quick and easy way to make thin, crispy, sugar cookies. Instead of rolling them out and cutting them, I use a fork dipped in powdered sugar. I pat them down on a warm cookie sheet that has been sprayed with Butter Pam.

Substitute for MSGUse 1:1 ratio mixture of sugar and salt as a substitute ingredient to your recipe instead of MSG. This is safer to use, especially if you have children at home.

Peeps Marshmallow VodkaI started with a cup of vanilla flavored vodka and dissolved two marshmallow Peeps. Scrape some sugar off the candy to rim the glass. Use a Peep for decoration. Since there are seasonal Peeps now, you could make this for any holiday party.

Banana Popsicles with Whipped CreamOne of the best toppings for a banana Popsicle is whipped cream. You can put vanilla wafers crumbs in a bowl and sprinkle them on top. The taste is reminiscent of banana pudding and can't be beat for simplicity and fun.

Freezing BaconI like to purchase bacon in the large package and prefer the thick sliced. If I don't freeze it, it will not hold the flavor until I use it all.

Brain Dip for HalloweenThis is quite simple. I used store bought Cajun Crab Dip from the seafood department. Then I shaped it into a brain. I used Sriracha sauce to make the veins, but you could use catsup. A simple and spooky dip for Halloween parties!

Easy Spout for Cooking OilCooking oil in bottles is convenient, but it's time consuming to take the lid off and on when I'm cooking. I also frequently end up pouring more oil than I need to. In order to use less oil, I make a small hole in the plastic cap, then it's easier and faster to pour and then put the bottle back in the fridge.

Reduce Heat When FryingIn frying, wait for the oil to heat up then reduce heat from high to medium. This will save you some gas if you're using a gas stove, or energy if you use electric stoves. Also, it prevents the food from getting overcooked or from burning.
