I have two sets of measuring cups and could never seem to find any of them. I solved the problem by putting all the cups together in a one-gallon zip lock freezer bag. Works great.

To aviod an extremely bad situation, always make sure to keep the pot on the stove's handle in. This prevents walking by and hitting in, therefore spilling.

To chop onions the easy way, start by cutting off the stem end,then peel the skin back to the root, KEEPING THE SKIN ATTACHED. Holding the skin to steady the onion, cut in half nearly to the root end, then at right angles to the first cut, 3 or 4 more cuts nearly to the root end. Next, still holding the root end by the skin, slice finely across the onion from the stem end, the result will be nicely chopped onion. And it takes longer to explain than to do it!

When cutting an onion, turn on the sink and cut the onion beside the sink. The onion is attracted to the water in your eye and therefore makes your eye burn and tear up, if the sink is running close by, the onion will be attracted to that water instead of the water in your eye.

Instead of dried breadcrumbs in meatballs and meatloaf, remove the crust from soak 2 slices of whole wheat bread and soak in 2/3 cup buttermilk for 10 minutes. Squeeze out excess milk and add to meat. Mighty moist!

I keep a dry mix of 1 part cornstarch and 2 parts flour in a container to use for making gravy. Just scoop out amount needed and mix with cold water. Also,I make my gravy in the microwave,I boil off my drippings from the pan and put it in a 2 cup or 4 cup measure and make in microwave stirring several times.

When cooking ground beef for Tacos or other Mexican dishes, cover the meat with water in a saucepan, break up with a fork, or potato masher, season well with beef and chicken boullion, and garlic powder, when cooked, drain off fat and water and you've got tasty meat without all of the fat. (You won't miss the good taste of the browned meat, I promise.) I generally add a can of fat free refried beans and use just a little of the water from the meat to moisten, then our Mexican Dishes are bean and beef ready. Enjoy!
