Windshield Ice-winter hack

Click !!!!




Really GOOD hints......enjoy


Why didn't I think of that?! We guarantee you'll
be uttering those words more than once at these
ingenious little tips, tricks and ideas that solve
everyday problems.
 

Remove crayon masterpieces from your TV or
computer screen with WD40.
 

 

Overhaul your linen cupboard, store bed linen sets
inside one of their own pillowcases and there will
be no more hunting through piles for a match.
 

Pump up the volume by placing your iPhone & iPod
in a bowl. The concave shape amplifies the music.
 

Re-use a wet-wipes container to store plastic bags.
 

Add this item to your beach bag. Baby powder
gets sand off your skin easily, who knew?!
 

Attach a Velcro strip to the wall to store soft toys.
 

Use wire to make a space to store gift wrap rolls
against the ceiling, rather than cluttering up the
floor.
 

Find tiny lost items like earrings by putting a
stocking over the vacuum hose.
 

Make an instant cupcake carrier by cutting
crosses into a box lid.
 

For those who can
stand the scrunching and
bunching: how to perfectly fold a fitted sheet.
 

Forever losing your bathroom essentials? Use
magnetic strips to store bobby pins, tweezers
and clippers, behind a vanity door
 

Store shoes inside shower caps to stop dirty
soles rubbing on your clothes. And you can
find them in just about every hotel.
 

A muffin pan becomes a craft caddy. Magnets
hold the plastic cups down to make them
tip-resistant.
 

Bread tags make the perfect cord labels.
 

Bake cupcakes directly in ice-cream cones, so
much more fun and easier for kids to eat.
 

Microwave your own popcorn in a plain brown paper
bag. Much healthier and cheaper than the packet
stuff.
 

Install a tension rod to hang your spray bottles.
 

Turn your muffin pan upside down, bake cookie-dough
over the top and voila, you have cookie bowls for fruit
or ice-cream.
 

 

Create a window-box veggie patch using guttering.

Chili Cheese Pie

I know, I know, haven't been on here for a month of Sundays, but real life (RL) sure can take up time!!!! But, got this yesterday and decided to share here as well, it............

This sounded too good to NOT try.....I know it will freeze so make it, eat what you want, freeze and eat the rest at another time.
BTW If I don't have all the ingredients I am going to "fake" it, I don't have a green pepper on hand so no green pepper...tomorrow's supper:-)

Chili Cheese Pie

ABOUT THIS RECIPE
"This a quick and easy favorite in our house. You will need either one large
casserole dish or two small ones. The long kind (9x6, I think) will hold the
whole recipe."

INGREDIENTS
1 (8 1/2 ounce) boxes Jiffy cornbread mix
1 egg
3 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup milk
1 (15 ounce) cans prepared chili ( any brand is fine. I use the Wal-Mart brand)
2 cups shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup mild salsa
1 large onion, minced
1 green bell pepper, diced small
1 can chickpeas, drained
2 slices butter ( 3 if you have to use two casserole dishes)

DIRECTIONS
1. Mix egg, sugar, milk and cornbread mix.
2. The box may call for less milk but a half cup makes the batter loose enough for this recipe.
3. Butter your casserole dish and pour in batter. Set it aside.
4. Mix onion, bell peppers, chickpeas, salsa, chili and half the cheese and spoon on top of the corn
bread batter.
5. Top with the rest of the cheese.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until the cheese is browning and bubbling.

Surprising Uses for Ice Cubes

Surprising Uses for Ice Cubes



What’s so great about frozen water? Plenty! From preventing sauces from curdling to getting wrinkles out of your clothing, ice cubes are a great addition to your DIY arsenal. Click through to check out some creative and interesting ways to use ice cubes.

Food & Entertaining.
1. Stop Curdling in its Tracks. Curdled sauces can be salvaged — it’s a miracle! Drop an ice cube into your egg-based sauce and stir it around immediately after you see the sauce start to curdle.
2. Serve Ice Without the Hassle. At your next party, serve ice in a colander that is placed inside of a large bowl. No need to go bobbing for ice cubes.
3. Reheat Rice with Ease. All too often, rice dries out when it’s reheated in the microwave. Remedy that by putting a few ice cubes on top of the bowl before you nuke it.
4. Take Your Salad Dressing to the Next Level. If you want your dressing to be creamier, put it in a sealable plastic container with an ice cube. Seal tightly, shake well and enjoy!

Grilled Chicken Flatbread Pizzas

I put this in the oven for 9 minutes, usually 375 degrees and it is good....refine it how you like it!!!!

Grilled Chicken Flatbread Pizzas


  • Total Time: 7 mins
  • Serves: 4-6, Yield: 4.0 flatbread pizzas
"This is an excellent way to enjoy your gas grill, use up some leftovers and cook up something beautiful and delicious in just a few minutes. Great for the day after a barbecue party when you discovered you made too much of something! This one is leftover grilled chicken, but I think it would work with any leftover grilled meat (except, perhaps, hot dogs). I made this today for lunch, after we finished, my daughter said it would have been better with some fresh basil, so I have added that to the ingredients."

INGREDIENTS

    • 4 flat bread ( you can use thin pita bread)
    • 1 1/2 cups of sliced leftover grilled chicken
    • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, coarsely chopped
    • 6 leaves fresh basil, coarsely chopped
    • 3 cups grated mozzarella cheese
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat the grill. Mix all the ingredients together (except the bread) in a bowl. Use your hands. It's easier.
  2. Turn the heat to low on your grill. Lay the flat breads on (high rack if you have one). Mound the mixture on the flat bread, spreading to the edges. Close the grill and give it a minute or two, When it is melted, it's done. (If you leave it on too long, the bread will burn).
  3. Put it on a bread board and cut it with a pizza cutter.

Orange Cream Fruit Salad

ORANGE CREAM FRUIT SALAD
PREP TIME
TOTAL TIME
Author: 
Serves: 10 servings
INGREDIENTS
  • 3 oz. pkg instant vanilla pudding mix
  • ¾ cup-1½ cups milk*
  • ⅓ cup frozen orange juice concentrate
  • 8 oz container Cool Whip
  • 20 oz. can pineapple chunks or tidbits, drained well
  • 11 oz. can mandarin oranges, drained well
  • 2 bananas, sliced
INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Combine pudding mix, milk and orange juice concentrate in a mixing bowl.
  2. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes and then fold in the Cool Whip. Gently mix in the fruit and chill in the fridge for 2-3 hours until ready to serve.
  3. Feel free to add more fruit. I often add more oranges or bananas, and sometimes I add strawberries and mini marshmallows too. Enjoy!
  4. *We’ve made this recipe dozens of times with successful results, yet we’ve gotten several comments that the salad is too soupy. So, our advice is to reduce the milk to ¾ cups initially, and if the consistency is to your liking, feel free to add more.

I have a recipe SIMILAR to this one, no bananas and it is scrumptious!  Going to have this tomorrow nite!!!!

Brabant Potatoes-Louisiana Fries

this looked good;

Brabant Potatoes - Louisiana Fries
©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish

For the Potatoes:

2 large russet potatoes, scrubbed and peeled
4 cups cooking oil, for frying (canola, vegetable)

For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

For the Seasoning Blend:

2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/4 teaspoon Creole or Cajun seasoning

Peel potatoes and cut into 3/4 inch cubes, holding in a bowl of cool water. For garlic butter sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan, add oil and garlic and simmer until garlic is tender; set aside to cool. Once cool, stir in chopped parsley. Combine seasoning blend in a separate bowl; set aside.

Drain potatoes and transfer to a saucepan, covering with fresh water. Bring to a boil and boil only until slightly tender, about 10 minutes; drain.

Preheat oven to 175 degrees F. Heat oil in a large, deep, heavy pot. Add the potatoes, frying in batches, and turning to brown evenly, for 3 to 4 minutes. Right as they come out of the fryer, transfer to paper towels, sprinkling each batch lightly with a pinch of the seasoning blend. Transfer potatoes to serving platter and place into warm oven, about 20 minutes, while you prepare the rest of the meal. Add any remaining seasoning to the garlic butter sauce, add potatoes to the saucepan and toss. Return to serving platter and serve immediately.

Cook's Notes: Cubing and boiling the potatoes in advance is a good timesaver when preparing this dish, as they can be held in an airtight container in the fridge for a day or two until you're ready to fry and finish them.
