Reheat
Pizza
Heat up leftover pizza
in a non-stick 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.

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/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 dry cotton ball to pick up little
broken
glass pieces of glass- the fibers catch ones you can't see!

No More
Mosquitoes

keep
the mosquitoes away.

Squirrel
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 gif 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 - voila - static is gone.

Measuring
Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a
measuring
cup, fill it with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry the
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 windows 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. Voila! It unseals easily.

Conditioner
Use your hair
conditioner to shave your legs. It's a lot 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 dishwashing
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, esp. if it rains, but it works & you don't
have the worry about pets or small children being harmed!

powder to the beach
