Here are some of my cooking tips guaranteed to save you time and money!
* Make spreadable butter by whipping slightly softened butter and vegetable oil together. To prevent butter from softening too fast during the mixing stage, place bowl with butter/oil mixture in another bowl slightly large with ice water. It helps maintain the cool temperature needed so you don't use too much oil. Make flavored spreads by using olive oil, honey, garlic salts, oregano, parsley flakes, etc. Use empty margarine tubs for storage.
* Substitute powdered milk for regular milk when baking or cooking.
* Make your own flavored coffee creamer with powdered milk, sugar, and flavoring or extract. Add small quantities of sugar and just a few drops of flavoring to a cup of powdered milk, blend together in blender. Add sugar and flavoring till you get a combination you like. Store in a jar or old coffee creamer container.
* Extend the life of a can of coffee by grinding coffee grounds into a very fine powder. You'll get a stronger brew using less coffee. This also works VERY well to increase the flavor of inexpensive coffee or store brands. You can use a coffee grinder, food processor, or magic bullet (my personal preference).
* Use double strength beef stock and highly concentrated tea as a natural meat tenderizer. Tannin in tea acts as a natural tenderizer.
