I made the peanut chews in a disposable pan, lined with baking paper. Melted it on very low flame. Added a mixture of dry ingredients.

The hack? I didn't want to get a knife or spatula sticky to smooth it into to the corners, so I sprayed my hand with spray oil (pam). Worked very well. Afterwards, a 20 second wash with soap and we are really good at that now!

eg:
**make scambled eggs in a foil pan to avoid washing dishes (it is slightly more rubbery... but my kids dont mind)
**sleep in your cloths LOL

makes the morning routine so much smoother

When removing skin from raw chicken, hold a paper towel and grab the skin with the paper towels, it will pull right off, unlike using a knife and it’s so slippery and doesn’t remove all of it.

I throw mine in the washing machine with the bath mats. They come out looking brand new with zero effort.

Cool but the magic eraser takes 3 seconds. I don’t have bath mats so I’d rather not do another load...

I've made the one from the BY cookbook 2
or this one (yields a little more):

Put in ziplock bag:
1 1/3 cups warm water
1 packet dry yeast (or 2 1/4 tsp)
a pinch of sugar

Add 3 cups flour
a tsp salt
a bit of oil

Zip bag and knead until mixed. Put in warm place to rise for an hour.

When I'm feeling unmotivated to do housework, I set the kitchen timer for 10 Or 15 min and work until it rings. I'm always surprises how much I can get done in that amount of time and how energized I become once I start to work.

Why do you clean natives? They get muddy sometimes and the kids wear them around the house as slippers..

Oh lol. Yes I have those. I was thinking of something else- the plastic mats in the shower to prevent slipping.

Guys if you don’t like my hack just don’t use it 😆 no need to dissect everything.

Or Clorox wipes. I know it's a commodity now, but the bleach in the wipes are great for getting the sneakers sparkly white.
