Household Hints by Rosemary ~ Quick and Easy

I love getting quick and easy hints from family and friends, they make my day brighter and happier. I also enjoy passing them on, so here are some more life easing tricks.
This is a terrific idea, it helps to control the size and is a smart time saver. When making multi omelets for the family, beat the amount of eggs you'll need for the servings, butter up a muffin tin and pour the egg mixture in the individual pots, add cheese, bacon, ham, peppers or any other ingredient you wish. The muffin omelets can be customized for each person. Put the muffin tin on a cookie sheet for balance and bake for about 20-25 minutes in a medium oven or until the eggs have set in the center. Any unused portions can be frozen and kept up to a week, just pop them in the microwave, cover and heat for one to two minutes.
Fast and healthy snack for kids: sandwich peanut butter between two thin slices of apple or cut a celery stalk into one inch chunks and fill the hollow with peanut butter or spreadable cheese.
No paper plates? Serve snacks to children in coffee filters. Also great for serving hot dogs, just wrap it around.
Use a coffee filter in the serving bowl under chips, cheese treats or other snack foods to soak up extra fat.
If you've dropped an earring or contact lens it's more easily found by attaching a panty hose with an elastic to the vacuum cleaner hose the item will be sucked into the stocking and can be recovered quickly.
A scratch on wood furniture can be covered up by rubbing the meat of a walnut on it.
Well, that's all we have space for today, hope some of these little tricks make life easier.
