    HOMEMAKING TIP OF THE WEEK:

    • Add a dry paper towel to your salad spinner and it will help absorb ALL the moisture.
    • If you’re like me at this time of year, you have batch after batch of goodies going into the oven.  To save time, line your pan with heavy duty foil before adding your recipe.  After cooling, you can lift the foil out with the goodies and start over with the next batch without having to stop and wash the pan.  Plus the foil gives you an easy, flat cutting surface. 
      ON MY MIND LATELY:

      Hoping everyone has a safe and Merry Christmas and Wonderful New Year.
