Easy Deviled Eggs 

Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken
up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing
thoroughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw
bag away when done easy clean up. Janet, Killeen, TX 

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. Kathy, Mesick, MI 

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. Dave, Camden, DE 

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. Linda, Monmouth Jct., NJ 

Broken Glass 

Use a dry cotton ball to pick up little broken glass pieces of glass- the
fibers catch ones you can't see! Olive, Santee, CA 

No More Mosquitoes 

Place a dryer sheet in your pocket. It will keep the mosquitoes away. Diane,
Moran, SC 

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. Kathy, Maumelle, AR 

Easier thank you's 

When you throw a bridal/baby shower, buy a pack of thank you cards for the
guest of honor. During the party, pass out the envelopes and have everyone
put their address on one. When the bride/new mom sends the thank you's,
they're all addressed! Jessica, Saint Johns, MI 

Children's Bikes


If you purchase a new bike for your child, place their picture inside the
handle bar before placing the grips on. if the bike is stolen and later
recovered, remove the grip and there is your proof who owns the bike. Janet,
Carthage, IL 

Flexible vacuum 

To get something out of a heat register or under the fridge add an empty
paper towel roll or empty gift wrap roll to your vacuum. It can be bent or
flattened to get in narrow openings. Donna, Anderson, SC 

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. Pam,
Maple Rapids, NH 

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.
Kim, Goldsboro, NC 

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! Alicia, Tampa, FL 

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. Mary, Lockhart, TX 

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... Kerry, Canada, 

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! Barbra, Birch Run, MI 

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! Teresa, Mitchell, SD 

Take baby powder to the beach 

Keep a small bottle of baby powder in your beach bag. When your ready to
leave the beach sprinkle yourself and kids with the powder and the sand will
slide right off your skin.
