If you hate to throw out cookies just because they have gotten a little hard, place them in a ziplock sandwich bag with a piece of bread overnight. The next day you'll have fresh, soft cookies again.

When using only part of a bell pepper, cut it from the bottom or the sides, leave the seeds attached because they hold the moisture. You can put the rest in a resealable plastic bag and use it up to 4 days later. It won't be mushy.

To keep lettuce fresher longer wrap a dry paper towel around the root end of the lettuce head and store in a zipper close bag. The paper towel will absorb the excess water keeping the lettuce fresh and crisp.

I like to save good glass jars for reuse, but sometimes they have a strong smell like vinegar and pickles. I have found that if I tape the lid to the bottom of the jar with masking tape (top of lid against the bottom of the jar) it will sit on the shelf. This way and you can keep the lid and top together without screwing on the lid. The jar will not smell when you want to use it. All you have to do is remove the top and rinse out the jar.

Instead of buying precooked bacon, buy 2 or 3 pounds of thick bacon and cook on a cookie sheet in the oven for 15 minutes and freeze it. It microwaves well and can be taken on camping trips for easy reheating and not all the bacon grease.

Make good use of that dryer lint by storing in a baggie and using as camp fire starter. It doesn't take up any room and works great.

To make nice round hamburgers, place a round meat ball between wax paper and mash with a clear dinner plate. You can watch your progress and make hamberger size to your specifications. This also makes patties ready to freeze and easy to seperate when ready to thaw.

You know that onion or garlic smell left on your fingers after you cut them? Well no more, all you have to do is rub your finger tips inside of your metal sink and it takes the smell away.
