Bread

Reheating refrigerated bread; To warm biscuits, pancakes or muffins that were in the fridge, place them in the microwave with a cup of water.  The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

Baking Powder

Baking Powder should only be stored for 1 year.

Pizza

Reheating Pizza; Heat up leftover pizza in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat until warm.  This keeps the crust crispy.  No soggy micro pizza

Deviled Eggs

Easy Deviled Eggs; Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag.  Seal, mash until they are broken up.  Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing until mixed.  Cut the corner tip of the baggie and squeeze mixture into egg.  Toss baggie when finished.

Frosting

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 with the same amount.  You also eat fewer calories per serving.

Sticky

Measuring Sticky Ingredients; 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.
