Keep flour fresh: To keep your bug free during the summer months, add a bay leaf to the container- its a natural insect repellent.
Potato salad helper: When boiling for salad, add a little vinegar to the water.The vinegar helps to keep the outside of the cooked potatoes firm,so they hold their shape better when cut.
Fast chopped scallions: Before chopping a scallion, make one slice lengthwise from the root to the tip- you will cut twice as much.
Speedy mashed avocodos: Making guacamole? mash your avocados with a potato masher instead of a fork, to finish in half the time.
Flavorful salad dressing: Boost the taste of bottled vinaigrette salad dressing by stirring in a few spoonfuls of fresh herbs or a minced clove of fresh garlic.
No cherry pitter: Hold a straw close to it's end,just push it through the bottom of each cherry to force the pit out through the stem end.

NO MORE STICKY PASTA ! Never boil pasta like macaroni or spaghetti. Instead bring a pot of water to a full boil. Add a Tbs olive oil Ease in the pasta Stir then bring it back to a full boil - for 11 seconds (yes - 11 !) Remove from the heat and set it to the back of the stove Cover and let it set 15 -20 minutes - DON’T PEEK! Drain into a colander, serve
