If you can never seem to finish a whole loaf before it gets rock-hard or moldy, freeze it. Bread toasts just fine, straight out of the freezer.
|
Butter freezes well, so stash a stick or two in the freezer (leave in the original wrapping and place in a freezer bag) and you’ll always have some on hand when you need it. (Big sales happen for Xmas baking!)
|
Often when we need hand soap in a public place; none is available. An empty pill bottle is easy to carry with liquid soap in your pocket or purse. No spills or mess.
|
Pour snacks such as?trail mix, Goldfish crackers, animal crackers, popcorn,?fresh fruit, mini marshmallows, and pretzels into a waffle cone or sugar cone. You can also add pudding or yogurt. And of course, no dishes to wash!
|
Hotel rooms and holiday chalets often have very few plug points, one or two if you're lucky. So pack with you a plug extension (power strip) before travelling. You might need one for your laptop, one for the phone charger, one for the hair dryer etc.
|
When starting a large hand sewing or needlework project, thread several needles when you begin. Then you won't have to stop and keep threading needles as you work.
|
Place an old, used fabric softener sheet over the drain. The hair will stick to the sheet, allowing the water to flow smoothly down the drain. When you're done, just toss the sheet into the wastebasket
|
Mark your calendars for this event coming up in October? for a sensory-friendly mass in Webster October 20th at 2pm.? Please refer to the attached flyer for more information.?? Barbara HoffmanRegional Coordinator Parent to Parent of NYS

Creative ways with leftovers and more for frugal reasons
How many times have you cleaned out the refrigerator and found something you'd completely forgotten about? If not the refrigerator, then what about the cabinet? Pantry? Freezer?
It seems too obvious to say it, but when we buy something and don't use it all we're wasting money. Sure, everyone has leftovers. It's impossible to tell exactly how much of what will satisfy you, much less others for whom you cook.
You don't have to let the excess go to waste though. A little creativity, a little determination and an adventurous attitude will get the most out of the food you buy, and that will help your food budget better than anything else you could do, possibly excepting downright thievery.
A few basic rules help. Generally, don't mix carbohydrates - rice, potatoes, pasta, etc. Use only one as a base for a recipe or a side dish at the same meal.
Legumes like peas, beans or lentils grow naturally in different areas than broccoli, cauliflower and kale, so usually it's best not to mix them. (It's more of a cultural thing more than a nutritional one though, as recipes and food ideas developed over the years.)
In this age of 'light' eating, where turkey burgers, chicken hotdogs and fake crabmeat are common alternatives to beef and 'heavier' meats, you can mix just about any meat with just about any vegetable and come up with an acceptable (at least to most) meal.
On to the particulars:
Mince leftover roast, chops and steaks, chicken, turkey, sausage or crumble cooked ground beef and use them in casseroles, stews or sandwich spread.
? Make sandwich spread with your food processor or blender by chopping leftover meats finely and adding mayonnaise, salad dressing or mustard, pickles, onions, boiled eggs, cheese... your choice of flavors. Just a half cup of leftover meat will make several sandwiches this way.
? Add rice, potatoes or pasta along with leftover vegetables and/or gravies or sauces to meat and top with crushed potato chips, breadcrumbs or shredded cheese. Bake until heated through.
? Stews are the easiest! Use vegetables, carbohydrates, meats or high protein vegetables or nuts, etc., cooked together with a sauce or seasoning in water. Almost anything goes... but watch your flavor mixes.
A little space in the freezer, or freezing compartment of the refrigerator can save tons of money over a period of time. If you have a tablespoon of green beans left, put them in the green bean container and freeze until you have enough for a meal. Other vegetables that you eat often could have their own container. Meats can be separated as well - just remember that they are there or use a list to help keep organized.
Other ideas:
Leftover chicken, whether fried, roasted or boiled, can be used in everything from tacos to soup. If you boil the meat from the bones you'll get more of it, as well as a broth to start soups or other recipes. Drain the broth and strain it (even if you're going to put the meat right back in) to avoid small bones, pieces of fat and so forth.
If you have leftover boiled potatoes, put in enough water to cover, add salt and pepper to taste, a cup of milk and a small can of tuna. Boil until the potatoes are very soft and the water is cloudy.
Leftover rice: Add a touch of olive or canola oil, chopped tomato, onion, garlic, green pepper or whatever fresh vegetable you have on hand, toss, salt and serve chilled. Of course, you can use it in soups or casseroles or make gravy or broth to mix it in for a side dish - or use a dollop of salsa or picante sauce.
