A few of my favorite house hold tips...

I thought I would share a few of my favorite things.

~In place of unsweetened chocolate in recipes, you can substitute 3 Tbsp coco & 1 Tbsp shortening for every 1 oz, or 1 square of unsweetened chocolate the recipe calls for.

~To get stains out of carpet, use Spray & Wash and scrub with a wash cloth.

~To freshen your carpet, use baking soda with your favorite essential oil. (mix by squeezing it with your hands) Sprinkle on carpet, and vacuum.

~When you get tired of the same old food, instead of eating out, go to yard sales and buy a new cook book or two!

~If you don't have butter milk, you can use regular milk with a tsp of vinegar added to it, in place of the buttermilk. (for every cup of buttermilk you use 1 cup milk and 1 tsp vinegar.) This works great in pancakes!
