Deodorizer for your car

Crush a few charcoal briquettes (without starting fluid), toss them into a clean sock and store under the seat. Their porous surface absorbs existing odors and collects the excess moisture that causes unpleasant smells.

Extend the life of an ink cartridge

To double the life of your ink cartridge, set the font color to gray instead of black. The printer will use up to 50 percent less ink per page.

Happy Easter Everyone!!!

Easter is all about food, family, and celebrating together. Today you may find some tips that can help you to accomplish a perfect holiday...

Reusing your baskets

Be eco-friendly! Instead of running out to buy a new plastic Easter basket each year, buy a basket made of natural materials and commit to using it each year. If you are crafty, make your baskets from fabric or recycled items, personalized for each child, for an annual tradition.

Coloring Easter eggs

Make your own coloring kit using plant-based dyes, as such spinach, beets, turmeric, paprika, blueberries and red cabbage to create pretty spring colors for your eggs.

Quick save for salty gravy

If your gravy ended too salty, add a few splashes of the water you used to boil your veggies. The extra liquid helps dilute the sauce, reducing saltiness without draining the flavor.

Pack more into an oven

Some side dishes, like stuffing, can be baked in foil packets. Spread the stuffing mix onto sheets of buttered foil and fold over to enclose. Each packet can easily be squeezed in next to the other dishes.

Plating your turkey

Move a turkey from pan to platter without making a mess. Make an aluminum-foil cross, leaving at least a 1 ½ foot overhang on each side of the roasting pan before adding the turkey. Once cooked, gather the foil ends and lift the turkey onto the platter.
