PICKLES!!!!

I had a really great idea last night I thought I would share it with you all. It might seem stupid cause it was like a, "no duh" moment but hey I thought maybe some people out there might not have thought of this idea.

Because the price of a small jar (32oz) of sliced pickle is about $2-$3 dollars, I have recently started buying the whole pickles and in the Gallon jar ($6-$7) and it cost twice the price, yes, BUT is 

4 times as many pickles. 

I know it is a stupid thought, But I dislike having to do more work than necessary, so when it comes to having hamburgers, the last thing I want to do is cut up pickles and then throw the left over slices into the large gallon jar to float around and never be caught again.

SO.....

Last night I cut up some pickle and placed the cut pickles in a left over, cleaned out, peanut butter container and added some of the pickle juice from the large jar. Now I have both, snack size pickles and sliced pickles.

I thought this was such a great simple solution OR I'm just crazy and no one else thinks about this problem but hey. ;)

Sticky Solution

Hello all, Have you ever had a recipe tell you to use wax paper. I made these cheerio snacks.

For this recipie visit this link http://kathiecooks.blogspot.com/2010/01/cheerio-treats.html

They were really really good but I had an issue with my snacks sticking to the wax paper.

So I thought up an awesome easy solution.

Get a frying pan and turn it on a medium heat. 

Take your snacks and separate them from each other.I cut around the snack using scissors leaving enough wax paper around the snack so I could pull it off easier.

Then place the snack (wax paper and all) on the frying pan. (you can see my pan was a bit hot)

Rub the wax paper around the pan for about five second.

And if all goes well... the wax paper should peel right off!!
I hope this is as helpful for you are it was for me!!!
