Kitchen Tips ...

I made this combo of roasted eggplant, olives, tomato sauce, Italian spices, and a sautéed onion the other night to throw over some pasta. It was fab. Mmm.

And now ... Some kitchen tips you might know and, then again, maybe not ... Just thought I'd share some of my faves.

To freshen your kitchen sponge and disinfect it, throw it in the top rack of your dishwasher and run it through a cycle of dishes. Voila! Clean, disinfected sponge.

♥ To soothe a minor burn on your finger, smear a little Anbesol (made to soothe mouth sores) on it. Takes the sting right out.

To steam things without them sticking to your steamer basket, cut out a round of parchment paper and make several folds in it. Take a single hole punch and punch holes in it. Unfold and lay in steamer. The holes you punched will allow the steam to come through.

♥ To open a jar easily, just slide a bottle opener tip under the top and let some air in by pulling out the side of the top slightly. The top will pop and it'll be easy to screw right off. No help from big biceps required. ;) [see pics below]
