Hints

I have found that sometimes you need to use something you don't have or tweak a recipe in someway-this is my spot for sharing that with you:

Don't have whole milk in the house anymore- use about 1-2 Tbs. sour cream or yougurt to your low-fat milk and add to breads, muffins or biscuits.

Don't own an egg slicer for making egg salad- use a pastry cutter- works great

Out of butter? I made a great Apple Crisp using olive oil.

When you have fresh herbs and no time to use them all freeze them in plastic snack size bags- take out frozen and use right away.

Thai food- Take fresh cilantro, garlic, chilies, fish sauce and lime- pulse all together and freeze in an ice cube tray ( cover tightly with foil)- pop out and put in baggie to use later- just toss in stir fried veggies, shrimp or chicken.

Are you having a crowd over and need to keep the mashed potatos warm? Cook them up-mash and put them in a crock pot on low heat.
Warm mashed potatos- yum, with garlic of course .
