If you’re hosting a party and need to leave out salads and fruit you can keep them fresh and cool with these hacks. Fill a shower cap with ice and put the bowl in the shower cap. If you don’t have a shower cap or you need a larger cooler, freeze some water in the bottom of an aluminum tin. This will give you a nice sheet of ice to place your fruits and salads on to keep them cool.
Here is a kitchen hack that will make your life easier. When you cook, double the recipe and freeze half. Now you’ll have a no-fuss meal option for later in the week or months.
Did you know Irish Springs soap can be used to repel flies and mosquitoes? Grate a bar of Irish Springs and put it in a shallow cup or a bowl with a candle. You can also run the full bar of soap along the doorposts to your home to deter pesky bugs from entering the house.
