I've noticed recently that there are a lot of little tips I know and do that I would love to pass on to you because I think they could help you too! As much as I would love to say "I'm going to do this posts every week...or month" or whatever...I know darn well it will get away from me and I will end up just giving up and forgetting about it. (see my chicken blog for examples lol) So, I am giving you the first installment of 5 Make Your Life Easier tips. This issue covers:
1) Keeping your hands dry when doing outdoor chores in the snow/rain
2) Pouring icing for smoother looking cupcakes
3) Cute and cheap way to organize cupcake papers
4) Why that clearance item might no be expired
5) Changing in your pocket change the free and easy way
After mentioning my spiked apple cider in another post, I received a bunch of emails asking about it, so I thought I'd give you the run down on all my favorite spiked cider recipes. I mean, it is that time of year when the air turns cooler and warm drinks suddenly sound more enticing...and what says Autumn better than hot cider?
In all my years working in bars and restaurants my favorite job was coming up with new concoctions for seasonal menus, and fall was no different. I would often add liquors to hot apple
cider for a yummy winter warm up!
Apple cider is pretty versatile after all. You can add everything from flavored vodka to cordials, red wine or rum. It all depends on whether you want your cider drink to taste like liquid candy or something more bracing.
Pro tip: be careful with the liquid candy ones, they will knock you on your butt! lol
I like to start with a jug of
fresh apple cider, but since that's not always in season a packet of
apple cider mix will do. You can buy it in regular or sugar free.
