I've got to have saltines around. Ever since I was a little kid saltine with peanut butter have been one of my favs. Wheat thins and water crackers are also on hand for cheese or dips. I like trisc...
The chef's knife, absolutely not. I can just see myself grating my knuckles with it or the grater catching on thicker cutting jobs. The paring knives though aren't so bad, I like the zester-combo b...

I have cut my hands far too many times draining with the lid that I would love one of those. Also is it just me or have lids become flimsier lately? I had a tuna lid bend almost in half last time I...

I don't use the low-cal/no-cal substitutes as I have no medical reason to do so. I do use honey and maple syrup a lot for the added flavor. With the exception of my soda addiction I don't have a lo...
My local grocery store has peeled and unpeeled hardboiled eggs in the deli. The difference of course is they are at the deli counter, made fresh there every day (I would assume when they also make ...
Be careful using leftover pickle brine for pickled eggs, from past experience I've learned that pickle brine can contain way too much salt which will leave you with hard rubbery eggs that aren't to...
I rarely have enough onions to do this since I go through a lot of onions. My grandmother cuts the legs off pantyhose and hangs onions up in a cool spot of the basement with a knot between each oni...
I often eat leftovers for lunch and a PB&J is my standard breakfast that I have almost every day. Breakfast and lunch I don't care too much about variety because I'm usually busy with work and just...
I've learned that shopping with a list always leads to saving more money than shopping without and going to deals. The reason is you end up buying more and more things you don't need if you don't h...
