Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.

Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little 'stringy things' off of it. That's how the primates do it.

When playing with Legos/Playmobil or anything with little parts that can fall all over the place, put the pieces on a rimmed cookie sheet and have your child play with those toys on the sheet to insure a less likely disaster all over the floor!

I never would have believed that it worked, but it is like magic. After cutting onions or garlic rub your hands with any large grained salt, like koshier or sea salt, with a little water. Rinse and repeat. Your hands will be totally free of any odor. This is an old Julia Child trick that my mother taught me.

The quickest and most delicious way to prepare potatoes is to quarter five to seven red skinned washed ataers skin on and lay in a foil covered pan then sprinkle with olive oil and seasonings and choppes green onions, gently toss and close up foil to create a tight seal and bake @ 350 degrees till tender or about thirty minutes, they come out tender and buttery and need no excess butter, Great for left over fried ataters in the am too !!

Protein, Calcium, sweetness, and so easy. Take any jello product, and when you get to the part about add clear cold water, substitute plain non-fat yogurt. Stir slightly, and then once again before it sets up. Its refreshing, tastes good, healthy, and easy.

With the downturn of the economy, my family has cut back on eating out. Now for lunch I make sandwiches and also pack chips, fruit and drinks. We all go to the park to eat for a lot less than going out and my son gets to play on the slides and swings.

I like to keep chopped peppers for cooking. Instead of buying frozen ones at the store, I chop my own, put in a ziploc bag and pop in the freezer - way more frozen chopped pepper for lots less money. Same applies to onions

Another health tip. I have taught my grandchildren that when they sneeze or cough to do it into the top of the shirt they have on. Just pull out the neckline and cough into their shirt. No germs get spread around and no hands get dirty and germy. Of course if you have a tissue handy that would be first choice this tip is in case nothing is available. The kids are taught at school to cough into their elbow but I fail to see the benefit of this as it goes right past the elbow and into the air???

In the winter when my hair becomes full of static I do two things. I end my shower with a tablespoon of cider vinegar poured onto my head and rub it through to the ends. You don't wash it out, the smell will fade quickly. After blowdrying I also take just a pea size of conditioner onto the palm of my hand, rub together and lightly run through my hair. It also offers some protection from the cold weather outside,too.

If you are forgetful like me it can sometimes be a pain realizing that you forgot to pay a bill. We took a large white board and wrote down what bills we pay out of what paychecks. When payday comes I simply look at the board and pay those bills!

Couponing saves lots of money , and I use a check box to file mine in. It is large enough to hold lots of coupons and easy to find them in. I also created my own files according to the catagories that I use most often, so as not to waste time sorting through too many coupons before I go shopping. Examples: Cereal, Snacks, Laundry Items, Paper Products etc...

If you need hot water for something, don't just let the water run and wait until it is hot. As soon as you turn on the faucet, fill up a pitcher or a container until the water is hot and use this water to water your plants, fill a humidifier, or pets water dish.

For an easy to clean up work surface that is perfect for breading chicken cutlets, put a few drops of water on your counter and then a sheet of wax paper. The wax paper will never move, and clean up is a breeze.

Sometimes receiving "junk mail" can be a real bummer. I keep a shredder by the drawer I keep my mail (bills, reminders, etc.)in. That way, as soon as I receive "junk mail", I immediately shred it in case it does have personnal information, so that it won't pile up with the other important mail. Hope this helps someone!
Sincerely,
Linda

There is hardly anything that cannot be cleaned well with either baking soda or vinegar (and the use of both at the same time is a good drain cleaner!
