Kathryn Marcus Perfect! I love carrot cake and Brian doesn't. Now I can have it without baking a whole one. Thanks Tami!

What use is an electrical plug when you're not plugged in? Two simple tabs on the ends of a standard cover plate increase its function.

DUH!!!!! Why didn't I think of that?! Put aluminum foil in a bowl, pour the grease in. When it hardens, roll up the foil and throw it out!

Sandy Hall On cookdays I save my bean cans to pour grease into. I wrap them in foil when the oil cools a bit and throw them out.

Tamara Mitchell - Dine-In Diva I usually do that, but I am using less and less cans. And I really don't have this much of a grease issue.

De-tarnish ALL your silver ALL at once... line your sink with aluminum foil, add 1/2 c table salt, 1/2 c. baking soda, fill with hot water, then dump in all your silver! Let sit for about 30 min. The tarnish all transfers to the foil! Thanks, Susan Branch!

Reviving Hard Cheese. Wrap in damp paper towel, place in resealable bag and chill for a day. Remove the towel, store cheese in the bag - good to grate.

Tamara Mitchell - Dine-In Diva It's amazing stuff - try it. Get some of the liquid and some of the dry.

Sharon Worster I use it on my clients All-Clad pots and pans but I've never used it in my own house. I don't recall ever seeing the liquid. It's on my list! Thanks Tami!

Caramelized Onions in the Crockpot

The next time you have green onions, don't throw away the white ends. Simply submerge them in a glass of water and place them in a sunny window. Your onions will begin to grow almost immediately and can be harvested almost indefinitely.
