Getting rid of the green

Getting rid of the green was on my spring cleaning list and I finally got to it last week!  Warm soapy water and an old toothbrush did the trick. You can also use a bleach and water solution.I'm really pleased with the way the green lifted right off the white but I'll probably have to do it again in the mid summer and once again before the snow fly's. I let it go too long last year and it grossed me out all winter long. The picture up top shows you how bad it was and what a difference a little soap, water and elbow grease can do.

gadgets and gizmose: Salad Shooter

 This PRESTO Salad Shooter puts out a lot of food in a short amount of time! It's the best way to cut, slice, shred and Julian your starches and vegetables. Its fast, easy and clean up is a breeze because it's parts are all dish washer safe.

Four pounds of carrots took me less then tree minuets to ripple slice with my salad shooter. I cooked up a couple servings for lunch and put the rest of the carrots in plastic bags and put them in the freezer for future soups or honey glazed carrots.
Ebay/Amazon this or look for it at yard sales. Its a great tool to have in the kitchen, especially if you like your veggies! (It also shreds cheese....Yummm)!

The light "bulb" finally turned on

 What began as an experiment............

Turned out to be a cheap way to beautify the breakfast room. I love when my experiments actually work!
You may recall from an older post that I bought tulip bulbs for less half the price in November. Well here is the results! I have two pots full of tulips that I will plant outside when they are done blooming. I'm never going buy bulbs in season and  pay full price again.

Breaking out the china

Want a fancy dinner for two at less than two dollars a plate? Brake out the china! I love the deign if the blue willow china that was handed down to us from Erik's Parents. While it looks stunning placed in the china cabinet, I still wanted to use it and enjoy it all the more.This year for Valentines Day, instead of going out,  I thought it would be nice to stay home and cook up a simple soup and bread dinner. I made the simple food fancy by spicing  up the atmosphere with my china, table cloth, runner, candles, and cloth napkins. Try it for a date night! Talk about a fun way to save money! Erik and I had a blast are looking forward to doing it again.
