Yes, I do have scratches on my plates. They don't look very nice so I stopped using them. Now with this easy tip I can bring them out again. Bar Keeper's Friend is great on stainless steel too-It really works SOURCE 

How many times do you find miscellaneous things around the house that belong to different people? These little baskets at the foot of the steps is a great idea. As they go up into their room they take the basket and put the things away (hopefully) SOURCE
A simple magazine rack to hold the lids for your pots and pans. Excellent! See more clever things to use for organizing SOURCE
 MARSHMALLOWS - Yes, it’s true. There are more uses for marshmallows than s’mores or Rice Krispie Treats. Though both are quite delicious, did you know…
  • Stash a few marshmallows in a box of brown sugar or the sugar bowl to prevent the sugar from hardening or clumping.
  • Make ice cream cones less messy by sticking a few marshmallows in the bottom of the cone to prevent the ice cream from leaking out.
  • Eat three or four marshmallows to sooth a sore throat. Greg has actually used this a few times but I’ve always thought it to be quite odd. Come to find out, there’s a scientific reason as to why it works. Apparently, the gelatin is very helpful when it comes to relieving irritation and soothing pain in your throat. And I’m sure it’s a lot more tasty than nasty throat lozenges.

At this blog you'll be able to see tons of home remedy tips and tricks....Really, a lot of great ideas. Like...


  • Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.
  •  
  • Reheat Pizza Heat up leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the stove, set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the cooking channel and it really works.   
Before you pour sticky substances into a measuring cup, fill with hot water when cooking. Dump out the hot water, but don't dry cup. Next, add your ingredient (peanut butter, for example) and watch how easily it comes right out.
