Tip of the Day - 07/01/2010 (Odds & Ends) (buy, great)

I wondered why I had extra time this morning....I forgot to do the tip thread!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef.
It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.

- Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if your want a stronger taste of garlic.

- 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 and calories per serving.

- Measuring Cups
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient, such
as peanut butter, and watch how easily it comes right out.

- To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream in and then beat them up.

Added bonus you will have the beaters to lick the frosting off of.

Thanks Glory!!! I had no idea about the garlic tip. That will come in handy for me as I use garlic a lot when cooking!!!

Hmmm, I wonder if that frosting tip would work for Nutella?
