Cleaning Hacks for Your Kitchen



Now a days there are “higher end appliances” they all claim you have to use a special product to clean the appliance with, well that's NOT true! Below are just a few hacks to clean your appliances with.

  1. If you have any stainless steel appliances clean the surface with WD40, yes you saw that right, it will clean all the marks off and make it shine!
  2. If you have a flat surface stove, sprinkle some baking soda all around the surface, using a spray bottle spray the baking soda with vinegar. Let it sit like that for about 5 minutes and then use a sponge to clean. All the grease and caked on goop should come right up.
  3. To get the grime out of your microwave, take a microwave safe bowl (plastic is best) put some water and some lemon juice or vinegar whichever you have on hand (its just to help with smell) and place your bowl in the microwave for 6 minutes. When it goes off remove the bowl and use a sponge to clean. The moisture should have loosened everything up and you can get it sparkling clean again!
Lastly (your going to love this one) nobody ever really thinks of cleaning the inside of their dishwasher, right? So once a month grab 2 packets of Kool-Aid Lemonade (it has to be the lemonade) put the 2 packets where you would your soap and put it on the highest setting and run it.

You have just cleaned 4 appliances in your kitchen!

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
