I have a few fun tips to share with you all on this lovely Friday! They were originally sent to me in an email and I thought we could all benefit!
Reheat pizza without getting a soggy mouthful
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. Just say “no!” to soggy za!

Fool-proof deviled eggs
Put cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are all broken up. Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing roughly, cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg. Just throw bag away when done easy clean up.

The miracle of expando frosting
When you buy a container of cake frosting from the store, whip it with your mixer for a few minutes. You can double it in size. You get to frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount. You also eat less sugar and calories per serving.

Reheating bread-like foods
To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated , place them in a microwave with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

So how awesome were those? Have any other helpful hints to share?
It’s the most wonderful time…

No, I’m not in the holiday spirit yet.
But I am currently chomping on the best apples known to man — Honeycrisp.

Only available from Sept-Nov, these apples deserve their own blog. Until you try one of these orb-shaped delights, I’m not sure we can continue to be friends. Sure, they may be $2.99/lb., but whoever said the “best things in life are free” clearly never danced with Mr. Honeycrisp.
I kid you not when I tell you that I nearly pummeled two grannies and a few children as I sailed across the grocery store this past weekend to grab my haul. I’ve been counting down this “season” since last November and was not about to let a few blue-hairs get in my path of glory.
I always wondered why Adam had to be so foolish to reach for that apple in the Garden of Eden. Now I know — clearly a Honeycrisp. Can’t say I blame him.
If you haven’t tried this miraculous spheres, get thee to an orchard. Or grocery store. Or friend’s fridge. Just not mine.
The Cobbler

Daily Delish / Make It
Good thing I had five people to share this cobbler with yesterday. Otherwise, it’d be an elastic waistband day, for sure.
This cobbler…(er, crumble?) was one of the best things I’ve ever made. Ever. Topped with vanilla ice cream, it was the perfect way to cap off a delicious meal.
I used Eat Live Run’s recipe, but made a few modifications. First, I used Splenda (Splenda granulated and Splenda brown sugar blend) – go ahead and judge, I don’t care — the way I see it, I get to eat more and have more ice cream. Not a SOUL detected the “artifical taste.” I also used whole wheat flour, which again, went undetected

Make this for your next get-together. Just make sure you help yourself to seconds. And invite me, of course. I’ll even bring my own spoon.
