Homemade Baby Food
When my son was a baby, he refused to eat jar baby food. He would actually gag! So I had to make 'gourmet' baby food. It was actually a great money and time saver. I would cook dinner and would remove his portion before I seasoned the rest. I would then puree the food in the blender. (You can add baby cereal or baby rice or even mashed potatoes to thicken it., 0) I would then fill an ice tray 3/4 full with the pureed food and place it in the freezer overnight. You then pop out what you need for a meal. It thaws in no time. And he liked it!
Keep a Cucumber Fresh
Here's a way to keep a cucumber fresh up to 2 weeks after you start using it. Wrap a Scott paper towel around the cucumber but dont cover cut end. Then put in any plastic bag. I have had success keeping one for 2 weeks.
No Creases
To avoid creases hang pants on hanger with a Scott Towel in between the pants and the hanger.
Oven Cleaning
Once I've sprayed my oven with cleaning spray, I place Scott Towels flat under the oven door, and they catch any leaks and messes while I clean the oven.
PRESERVING YOUR POTS & PANS
LAYER A PAPER TOWEL BETWEEN YOUR PANS IN THE CUPBOARD TO PREVENT BOTTOMS FROM SCRATCHING INSIDE SURFACES WHEN STORING THEM. LEAVE TOWELS IN CUPBOARD WHEN PANS ARE OUT.
