I love making my own croutons. I cut up bread into small chunks, toss them with 1 T of olive oil and italian seasonings. Then I roast them in the oven at 350 until brown.

I also love to blend up stale bread and then put it in the freezer as bread crumbs for meatloaf and breading chicken and making my own onion rings. It is tasty. If a recipe calls for seasoned bread crumbs I just mix in the required seasonings. Keeping the crumbs in the freezer helps them last longer.

I also love to remake bbq pork or beef into enchiladas or tacos. I just freeze the leftover meat until I need it. ]]> tag:thebudgetcasa.com,2008:forum/viewthread/.711 2008-03-20T00:02:03Z LyzL

Every night before I go to bed I clean off one area: kitchen table, coffee table, dining room table, hutch, mantle, fireplace. That way when I go to dust or wash the floor everything is pretty tidy.

Although, I do need a better system for bathroom cleaning. I should wipe down the counters every other day, but I don't. I keep the cleaning supplies underneath the counter but I usually am in a rush in the bathroom and don't have time.

Anyone have bathroom cleaning tips? ]]> tag:thebudgetcasa.com,2008:forum/viewthread/.771 2008-04-17T00:32:58Z LyzL is giving away a Dirt Devil.
