A Couple of Kitchen Tips

Works for Me Wednesday is a special edition today—The Kitchen Edition. My tip is so simple that I’ll share two of them.

First concerns bacon- rinse it under cold water before you fry it. This reduces the amount the bacon shrinks by about 50%.

2^nd Tip: When making cool drinks or punches for a crowd, I like to add frozen fruit instead of ice cubes. It adds a nice additional flavor to the drink. My favorite combos are strawberries with pink lemonade, peaches with ice tea or regular lemonade. Frozen pineapple is really yummy with orange juice too!

I like the bacon idea, I'll have to try it! The drinks with fruit in it always look nicer and like you went to some extra effort, I'll have to try it!

Thanks! I'm going to try both of those. My kids will love the frozen fruit in the drinks.
