Good Kitchen tip

As I cook, I wash dishes, when I have finished my cooking, and we sit down to eat, all the dishes are DONE, and afterward the only thing left is the serving dishes and the utensils and plates we used....it takes very few minutes to clean up after that and then:::::::I do not believe in "leaving things", it just makes it harder and longer to clean up and if someone say "leave it for later", I comment, " I could but it would still have to be done and I am the one that will STILL have to do it." then I clean up:-)

I fix the coffee pot for the next morning, when I get up all I have to do is "hit the button", ( my pot is not programable:-))

That is just 2 things I do and as I go through this day I will see if there is anything I do "automatically" to make "life more simple". I will then share with you.

Have a super day and remember your VALENTINE.

Life is full,

A friend shared this, so here for you!!!

=====================================

as i age, i am dealing with how much i have changed so need to change things about myself. for instance, when i painted a room, i would start at one corner and never stop til i did the whole room and got back to that corner again. 

now .. i wouldn't paint a room, no way no how! lol 

but actually, when i have big jobs (like doing dishes is now on the 'big job' list lol) i dont usually do things in one shot. i do for five or ten minutes, go away and come back like 15 minutes later. that's what often helps me accomplish stuff.

your life should be leisurely .. take in the views, the various cultures you are passing through, meet and greet new people and enjoy everything. dont put pressure on yourself cause who really cares. 

I will be undating today so do check back here later!!

Thanks for looking and

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 cant 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.

Stain removal hint that is worth checking out!

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.
