Extra Cooking Tips

* For great baking results, keep an oven thermometer in the oven and use it. Oven temperatures regularly vary up to 75 degrees, so this can be a crucial factor.
* For a low fat/low calorie dessert, make sandwiches out of graham crackers and non or low fat frozen yogurt. Prepare a platter in
advance, hide them in the freezer and surprise the family ...they'll never know it's healthy!
* Dip a new broom in hot salt water before using. This will toughen the bristles and make it last longer.
* Create your own colored sugar by placing granulated sugar in a plastic bag. Add a few drops of your favorite food coloring and shake to blend. Pour out into a plate and let dry, then use.
* Use greased muffin tins as molds when baking stuffed peppers.
* When baking and you need to "cut in" the butter, an easy way is to keep the sticks of butter in the freezer. When needed,
use a cheese grater to grate the butter into fine pieces.
* Try using raw spaghetti instead of toothpicks when securing stuffed chicken breasts and meats. It works great and it's edible!
* To get snowy white potatoes, add a teaspoon of vinegar or fresh lemon juice to the boiling water
* Making noodles is easy by adding an egg to a package of pie crust mix. Mix; roll out, cut, and let dry.
* For a different flavor and less fat, use chicken stock instead of butter or milk when whipping up mashed potatoes.
