Question #3:

Housewife Hints From Kindly 'Ol Uncle "0"?

DID YOU KNOW?

Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little 'stringy things' off of it. That's how the primates do it.

Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store.
If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.

Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil.
It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!

Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.

Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.

To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream in and then beat them up.

For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed.
Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting.

Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.

Leftover snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert.
Simply chop them up with the food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!!! Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream. Yummm!

OTHER GOODIES TO KNOW:

Reheat Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.

Easy Deviled Eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.

Expanding Frosting
When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.

Reheating refrigerated bread
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

Newspaper weeds away
Start putting in your plants, work the nutrients in your soil. Wet newspapers, put layers around the plants overlapping as you go cover with mulch and forget about weeds. Weeds will get through some gardening plastic they will not get through wet newspapers.

Broken Glass
Use a wet cotton ball or Q-tip to pick up the small shards of glass you can't see easily.

No More Mosquitoes
Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away.

To keep squirrels from eating your plants, sprinkle your plants with cayenne pepper. The cayenne pepper doesn't hurt the plant and the squirrels won't come near it.

Flexible vacuum
To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or flattened to get in narrow openings.

Reducing Static Cling
Pin a small safety pin to the seam of your slip and you will not have a clingy skirt or dress. Same thing works with slacks that cling when wearing panty hose. Place pin in seam of slacks and ... ta da! ... static is gone.

Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient, such as Peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

Foggy Windshield?
Hate foggy windshields? Buy a chalkboard eraser and keep it in the glove box of your car . When the window s fog, rub with the eraser! Works better than a cloth!

Reopening envelope
If you seal an envelope and then realize you forgot to include something inside, just place your sealed envelope in the freezer for an hour or two. Viola! It unseals easily.

Conditioner
Use your hair conditioner to shave your legs. It's cheaper than shaving cream and leaves your legs really smooth. It's also a great way to use up the conditioner you bought but didn't like when you tried it in your hair.

Goodbye Fruit Flies
To get rid of pesky fruit flies, take a small glass, fill it 1/2' with Apple Cider Vinegar and 2 drops of dish washing liquid; mix well. You will find those flies drawn to the cup and gone forever!

Get Rid of Ants
Put small piles of cornmeal where you see ants. They eat it, take it 'home,' can't digest it so it kills them. It may take a week or so, especially if it rains, but it works and you don't have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!

I have no idea where I got these from....I'm old!

Question #4:

Favorite Vegan Recipes?

I'm a vegetarian, but I have a lot of vegan and vegetarian friends, and I want to have some of them over for a meal. And I'm looking for some good vegan recipes, I found some, but I really dont know if they even taste good. So I figured I can ask on here.
So what is your Favorite Vegan Recipe? Please post the entire recipe.
And also, how can you make Vegan-Friendly cupcakes from box-cake. What do you use to substitute the eggs? I've heard of bananas, diet coke, or egg substitute, what in your opinion works best?

PS: Don't just come on here and say how dumb it is to not eat meat, you just sound ignorant and close minded.

Question #8:

How are you stretching your food budget? What are your recipes please, if you don't mind sharing?

With today's economy and so many prepacked foods, I was wondering if I was the only one who was trying to figure out how to make things stretch by going back to "old school ways" and making my own cookies and cupcakes, school lunch items, drinks, etc.?? And packaging these myself. (the snack size baggies are great for a little bit like 2 cookies or just enough trail mix for a quick snack.


I still buy some of the mixes- still cheaper than the pre packaged stuff.



If you have good recipes please leave them here

My list of stretchers

Cookies
Cup cakes
lunch-ables for the kids for school
Uncrustables (homemade)
Kool-Aid
Iced Tea
Premade suppers (like lasagna or tv dinners)

Thanks all!

Question #13:

Have you made Ina Garten's "Chocolate Ganache Cupcakes"? And did you find them as disgusting as I did?

Ok, so my husband was on a business trip with my friend's husband, so we planned a girls night with movies and "gourmet junk food". So I made these cupcakes ( Click Here ). They were DISGUSTING! I was really skeptical about using Hershey's syrup instead of cocoa powder, and even more skeptical as to why there were no leavening agents. They didn't rise, turned out like hockey pucks, had an artificial flavor, and were just really nasty. The icing was also gross- Ina said that you "can't taste the coffee, it just brings out the chocolate's flavor". BS! That was all I tasted. I spent about $12 buying Hershey's syrup, chocolate chips, heavy cream, etc., and about 2 hours making them. I got to her house and she made a face when she ate one. Then I tried it, spit it out, and we just threw them away. I followed the recipe to a T!

What would have made them better?

Question #14:

Question #15:

Are there any icing sugar recipes that don't involve powdered / confectioners' sugar?

Or a ridiculous amount of work?
I ran out of confectioners sugar yesterday, and I'm baking some cupcakes as a gift, and as you probably know, cupcakes just aren't the same without icing. :(

Question #16:

i need some ideas!!?

My dad owns a Recycling Business, and has about 10 people working there. I want to make them some kind of dessert or food, that is easy for a 14 year old to make. If you have any recipes, please send me them. But make sure it is something everyone likes.
( I dont want to do cupcakes, or brownies, or cake. Those are played out! )

Question #18:

Best Cupcake Recipe?

Im planning to make my boyfriend a box of tiny little cupcakes. But im not sure which recipe. Ive heard the 'Magnolia Bakery Cupcakes' aren't as good as they seem, id rather no one say that as an answer - seeing that im afraid to cook them LOL! If i didn't mention already I plan to make them in a small.

But im looking for something sweet, and mouth watering, possibly vanilla (no chocolate please... also no cheese cake xD). Something commonly known (possibly).

Anyway if someone could give me a recipe, by 2 days, i would deeply appreciate it!
-thanks!

Question #19:

Best Cupcake recipes?

I'd like to make some cupcakes. Ingredients aren't a problem, except for self-rising flour and anything thats really exotic. I'd like something less plain than vanilla or chocolate, but if you have a great tasting one I'd love to hear about it. I'd also like a frosting recipe that can of course be more plain, but I would prefer something less ordinary, and anything is good as long as it tastes good.

I know it sounds picky, I hopeit really isnt! Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Question #20:
