Is that dish microwave-safe?
Heat a mug of water and the empty dish on high for 1 minute. The water will be
warm. If the dish is warm too, it's not microwave-safe.

Jello Cups
For picky kids. My son only liked Jello out of Jello cups in the store. The Jello cups are dishwasher safe and can be used over and over again. Now he thinks hes getting the real Jello instead I make it at home and just put it in the cups cover w/plastic wrap and stick in the fridge. They are also perfect size for fruit, crackers, and other snacks.

keeping veggies fresh
To keep celery, fresh parsely and spring green onions fresh, make a bag for them using the new "Press and Seal Wrap". Make sure all edges of the "bag" is sealed tightly. Veggies will keep fresh in this "bag" in the fridge for weeks and will look as fresh as the day you put them there.

Kim's Cooking Tip
When cooking a stew,soup or something that has veggies in it....put the veggies that take the longest to cook in first.For example..if you have a mixture of onions,potatoes,peppers,and tomatoes...you would put the potatoes and peppers in first...followed by the onions and tomatoes because it takes potatoes a long time to cook:-)

Kool-Aide Frosting
Kool-Aide is a good way to color and flavor your frostings. Just pour your favorite kool-aide packet into any white frosting and you have a colorful, tasty cookie or cake topper. It's even good on graham crackers. Lemon-lime frosting on lemon cake? How about raspberry poke cake with black cherry frosting?

Less Mess Jello
My little guy is three, and absolutely loves jello. But his lack of coordination often made eating it very messy. Watching him struggle one day, I saw that the jello would fall off the spoon with every scoop as he tried to spoon it out along the sides of the bowl.
My solution, a tall narrow container, so he spoons staight upwards instead of tipping the spoon. Further I use empty small peanut butter containers, they are the perfect size for a package of jello crystals, no measuring required. They hold up well to the boiling water,and they take up little space in the fridge. But best of all the screw top lid makes the jello easily packed in a picnic lunch.

Less stress in meal preparations
If you are the one preparing the Christmas meal this year - I recommend you start it 3 to 4 days ahead. Many holiday dishes can be made ahead of time and if you do one a day - all you need to make on the day itself might be the meat (Turkey). I usually cook a mashed potatoe casserole a day ahead. Cranberry sauce 2 days ahead. Stuffing can be prepared 3 days ahead. Dessert - 4 days ahead. The key is to choose the types of recipes that KEEP...and then list out the days of the week and what you will make each day.
