KITCHEN TIPS
Undiluted Fruit Punch
Freeze assorted chunks of fruit, such as apples, oranges, pineapple, pears, peaches or grapes on a baking sheet for 1-2 hours.
Add the frozen fruit to the drink. Not only does the fruit help keep the drink cold, it can be eaten.
Cutting Marshmallows
Spray kitchen shears with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the sticky marshmallows from adhering to the blades.
Stacking Glass Measuring Cups
Stacking glass measuring cups can result in chipped and broken edges. Use a small square of wax or parchment paper between the cups to prevent chips and it makes them easier to separate too.
