The color of our neighbor's houses only eliminates a few options for me, but it doesn't help decide on what we should pick. Across the street is an almost-mint green house, so I don't think we can ...
We own, but cannot paint our cabinets because... the ceiling is wood, and the cabinets go all the way up. It sounds weird, but it is actually quite nice. I had always wanted a kitchen with white-pa...
We've got one in my husband's home office. The original owners of the house had built a floor to ceiling cabinet to cover it up. Since we're remodeling the room, which includes tearing out the wood...
I have the opposite problem - no wall space! It's all cabinets, doorways, and windows! No hanging things from the ceiling either, as there's a large fluroescent light (not as bad as it sounds) in t...
It's a good idea (I use it for leftover wine, like many others), but the difficulty is figuring out how many to use in your recipe. The 1/4 cup increments idea fixes that - thanks embryoconcepts...
minamina - take a look at gloves/mittens at the store. Both ladies' and men's gloves come in S-M-L. I know I have large hands because I barely fit into the XL ladies' gloves I recently purchased. Q...
I *love* sifting. I realize I'm in the minority, and that most people gladly skip this step (my own mother balked at the idea when I asked for a sifter for Christmas a few years back). That said, i...
I'm been looking for a pie pumpkin since Halloween and can't find one anywhere (Twin Cities, Minnesota)! I really wanted to try that this year, but I may have to go canned. Bummer.
Ditto on the clean faucets idea. I use Windex wipes, which are a super-fast way to get that task done.
There's also the "close doors to not-important rooms." Why clean the guest bedroo...
We plan on buying an upright one soon. A friend of ours purchased a chest-style freezer, mainly for storing the meat from deer hunting, and regrets it. He advised us to go upright, because it's eas...
Making green tea frozen yogurt. All of the ingredients were in the bowl except for the yogurt. The matcha powder was on top. When I went to pour the yogurt into the bowl, it all dropped out in one ...
I think the important thing about kitchen shears is not whether they're officially made for the kitchen, but that they are kept separate and used only for food-related kitchen tasks. If you use the...

They work well in cookies and muffins - use them like you would raisins (chopped, of course).

Real Simple's cookbook, Meals Made Easy, has freezing/reheating instructions with many of the recipes. You can probably find it at your local library.
