a few ideas....

I get emails all the time from different food websites. One of my favorites is Thriftyfun. I love getting their emails they are always full of fun and interesting stuff. Today my email was full of tips that I thought I would pass on to my fellow readers!

Sugar in Fruit Pies: When making fruit pies sprinkle the sugar under the fruit instead of on top. The juice will boil up through the fruit and not out and over the top

When cutting cream pies dip the knife in warm water and none of the filling will stick to the knife.  Meringue will always stand up high and perfect if a generous pinch of baking soda is added to beaten whites.  Coat raisins in flour before stirring them into a cake to prevent them from going to the bottom.  2 Tbsp. of lemon juice added to 1 cup of milk will sour immediately. Add several drops of vinegar to icing while beating and it will be soft and seldom grainy.

Cut the whole loaf into serving sized pieces.  Cut each slice in half and fold over (if buttered), butter sides in. Wrap each one in Saran Wrap then put the entire sliced loaf into a freezer container. Or freeze until solid on a cookie sheet then pop into a freezer bag.

No More Messy Sloppy Joes! Cut a hot dog bun in half and fill with Sloppy Joe mixture. The Sloppy Joe stay in and not all over. Children love it because it's small and easy to eat. Plus for parents the children waste less when eating it.
