Microwaving Thanksgiving Leftovers
Before microwaving your Thanksgiving leftovers, arrange food around the edge of the plate, leaving the center free, and cover, to ensure more even heating.
Fluffier Mashed Potatoes
To make the fluffiest mashed potatoes, boil up a starchier variety like Russets or bakers. These absorb butter and cream the best.
Tangle Free Holiday Lights
Save empty wrapping paper tubes and wrap your holiday lights around them to prevent tangling.
Have a costume swap!
Why overpay for a store bought costume when you can get one for free? Organize other families in your neighborhood and trade last year’s costume for something your kids will love.
Keeping Your Christmas Tree Fresh
Cut 1″ from the bottom when you bring it home from the lot to keep it fresher longer. Bonus Tip: Save the piece of wood and write your name and the year on it to treasure as a family keepsake ornament!
Keep Your Turkey Moist
Don’t baste your turkey. It will cook faster, and stay juicier, if you leave the oven door shut.
