Just put the strainer in the pot and tilt to drain!

Is there a door slammer in your house? I have 3 living with me! Whether they mean to or not, it’s annoying. Here’s a super easy and free way to silence the slam using a rubber band!
First, grab a rubber band. Attach it from knob to knob, twisting in the middle to create an X.

Doesn’t that layer of oil at the top of your nut butter jar drive you nuts? (Pun intended!) Trying to stir it without making a mess is nearly impossible, until now! I have a simple hack that’s going to stop the mess. Trust me, I know a thing or two about these spreads, I personally have a dozen different flavors in my refrigerator right now and eat some at least once, if not twice a day. I can’t live without it and IMO should be it’s own food group.
This hack may be the easiest one yet! One step; you’re going to take the nut butter jar and turn it upside down. This causes the oil to go to the bottom which is now the new top. That’s it!
How do you strain the grease off your cooked meat without it going down the drain? My answer used to be “very carefully”, until this hack came along! Grab your aluminum foil and meet me at the sink!
Take some foil and line your drain. Then, grab your strainer and drain your meat directly over the foil!
You not only save your drain, clean up couldn’t be easier.
I told you this was a game changer!

How many boiled eggs do you think you go through this time of year? Between the coloring, the deviling and the return of egg salad in my Spring rotation, I can’t even begin to count. If you’re feeling like me this boiled egg season, here’s a hack that will have you brewing up a batch without turning on the stove.
We’re going to make boiled eggs in your coffee pot! I know how crazy it sounds but this hack couldn’t be easier and you’re not going to heat up the house.
Place eggs straight into the coffee pot. Brew as normal then let sit approximately 15 min for soft and up to 30 min for hard.
And there you have it, perfectly boiled!
Do you buy pre-shredded cheese or grate it yourself? If you’re in the DIY category, you know what it means to struggle with a sticky grater. You’re left with cheese crumbles instead of nice shreds. Here’s a hack for shredding cheese with ease!
Does your grater leave your cheese looking like this? Not anymore! Here’s the answer: cooking oil.
A little bit of cooking spray right on your grater before shredding makes all the difference! I use 100% Pure Avocado Oil Spray.
Can you believe the difference? I told you this was an easy hack!
Do you have a partially used can of tomato paste in your refrigerator? Growing up, it was a refrigerator staple found on the top shelf, all the way to the back, also known as the black hole. Here’s a way to reuse what you have leftover: Flavor Bombs! Grab an ice tray and follow me!
Take your can of leftover tomato paste and scoop out a tablespoon into each tray slot. Add a quarter tablespoon of garlic, a generous sprinkle of basil, give it a stir and pop it into the freezer!
You can add these flavor bombs to pasta, eggs, soup, rice, pretty much anything! Except for brownies…I don’t think I’d stick them in brownies.
Enjoy!
Do you like Taco Bell? Honestly, if it was healthier for you, how great would that be? I think their Cool Ranch Dorito taco is amazing, but it’s something I can’t have often, so I decided to recreate it at home. Here’s my insanely easy, 3 ingredient Taco Bell meat recipe!
-1 lb. Lean ground meat (beef, chicken or turkey)
-1 small to medium onion (any kind), finely chopped
-1 pkg. taco seasoning (any brand)
Dump all 3 ingredients into a pan and cook over medium heat until the meat is throughly cooked. No draining, no straining! Make sure you do not follow the back of the seasoning packet.
Toss it into a shell, add any toppings, seasoning and sauce you like (I use Taco Bell Mild Sauce) & enjoy!
Are you a fan of the food that goes along with St. Patrick’s Day? It’s a hard sell around my house, except for this one! 4 ingredient Beer Bread. It’s SO easy, no kneading, no rising. Just dump, mix and bake with things you already have in your pantry. And don’t worry, doesn’t taste like beer at all, in fact, if you’re not a beer fan, or don’t have any on hand, you can substitute soda water!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
3 Cups self-rising flour & 1 to 4 Tablespoons sugar (I use all 4)
3 Tablespoons melted butter, plus 1 T. for topping & 1 1/2 Cups beer OR soda water
Preheat oven to 375F. Mix everything together in a large bowl, it will be a little lumpy. Pour into greased loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes.
Seriously the best and easiest beer bread ever. Cool a bit before cutting & enjoy!
Ever struggle with the protective foil cap on coffee creamers? I’ve personally spilled creamer all over the counter trying to tug that little silver seal off, but no more! Here’s a hack to make your morning run a little smoother.
First, twist the cap off and pop it open. See the piece under the top of the lid? You’re going to place that on top of the foil, press the palm of your hand over it and…
BAM! Now you can tear it right off with ease.

Add both to mixer and whisk until well combined and smooth. Start with one pint of ice cream and add more as needed until you reach cake batter consistency. Bake according to directions on cake mix.
