Safe Cooking with Baby
I use my Pampered Chef Chopper to chop up hot dogs for my 11-month-old...as she gets more teeth, I do fewer chops. It takes less time then slicing the hot dog and quartering the pieces! Also, I don't have to worry about my daughter choking on a big piece - they are all chopped up to just the right size.

salad every night
Young kids love to help and hate to eat vegis.
I have mine help make a salad to go with dinner everynight and it not only gives them a sense of pride and something ot do, the fact that the salad was their creation is enough to get them to eat it. Use precut vegis and crutons and let them ix away all on their own.

Save Those Onions
Prevent onions from sprouting by wrapping each one in foil. This generally will keep them firm for quite some time. If onions start to become soft, but aren't spoiled, chop them and freeze in plastic bags.

Save your butter wrapper!
Whenever you use butter or margarine, save the wrapper and place it in a ziploc bag in the freezer. When you need to butter a pan and can't use cooking spray, simply wipe the wrapper across the pan and then discard it. Works great and saves money!

If a recipe calls for several eggs and you are short one, use a teaspoon of cornstarch as a substitute for the missing egg.

Sick of Cleaning Out Greasy Measuring Cups
When you measure butter, crisco, peanut butter or anything else hard to clean in a measuring cup, put plastic wrap in the cup first. You will still have an exact measurement and you can just pull out the plastic wrap to find a clean measuring cup. Another great use for the plastic wrap is to grease the pan. Once you have dumped the measured amount in your recipe, you can use the crisco or butter that is left on the plastic wrap to grease the pan. These tips make for a faster clean-up time and you won't waste the leftover!

Sick of Hard Tomatoes?
If you have a problem with always having hard tomatoes, it is probably because you are putting them in the refridgerator. Keep your tomatoes turned upside-down in a basket on the counter and they will be much softer for serving and last longer.

Skillet Stuck-on Food
When foods get stuck to the bottom or sides of the skillet you cooked them in, fill the skillet with water and a couple drops of dishwashing soap. Heat the water on the stove to a boil and the food should peel right off.

Slippery fruit
My children always had a hard time picking up bananas and other slippery fruit so I coat them with crushed graham crackers or animal crackers or bran, whatever is on hand and they can pick them up with ease. It was also great for my second child who hated to eat anything slippery!
