Get Your Time Back with these 10 Tips in the Kitchen

Wine

• Let’s start with the most important thing, WINE. If you anything like me a few nights a week I like to have a glass to help unwind and relax. Have you ever gone to grab the bottle of Chardonnay only to realize it lukewarm? Who wants warm white wine? So pop a few grapes in the freezer to have at the ready when you want to keep your wine chilled without watering it down, it adds good flavor too.

Label Makers

• Use canisters & label things in your kitchen pantry. It makes finding sugar, flour, and pancake mix so much easier.

Baskets & Bins

• Use a bin or a cute basket for containing Tupperware & lids. It de-clutters your cabinets and makes more space.

Food Savers

• Drape a paper towel over the top of a bowl of salad, & then cover it with plastic wrap to keep the lettuce fresh for a whole week!

Boiled Eggs

• Save time peeling those eggshells. Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda when boiling your eggs. The shells with come right off!

No Boil-over Cleanup

• Use a wooden spoon when boiling water. Place the wooden spoon over the top of the pot to prevent boil-overs.

Long-Life Spuds

• Store your potatoes with apples to keep them from sprouting too soon.

Brown Sugar Rocks?

• Add a couple of large marshmallows to brown sugar to keep it from drying out & clumping.

Dull and Dingy Pans

• If cooking & washing your aluminum pans have made it dull and cloudy over time, simply fill it with water and apple peels, and bring to a boil. The apple peels will shine it up and make your kitchen smell fabulous!

Frozen Meat, no Time to Thaw

• If you’re in a quick rush to thaw out your meat, Pour a bit of white vinegar on it. This will help it thaw faster and actually tenderize your meat as well!
