Italian Chicken Salad Marinade

Ingredients
1 (8-ounce) bottle Italian dressing
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Creole seasoning (optional)
Chicken Salad
8 thin-sliced boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Mixed salad greens
Cherry tomatoes
Directions
1. Combine the marinade ingredients in a medium-size bowl and whisk them to blend. Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture for basting the chicken on the grill.
2. Place the chicken breasts in a gallon-size zip-lock bag and pour in the remaining marinade. Press the air out of the bag and seal it. Turn the bag to thoroughly coat the chicken, then place it in a bowl and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour, turning it occasionally. Remove the meat from the refrigerator 20 minutes before grilling.
3. Prepare a charcoal fire or set a gas grill to medium-high, close the lid, and heat until hot -- about 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Remove the chicken from the bag and discard the marinade. Grill it uncovered, basting with the reserved marinade. Cook the chicken until it is no longer pink inside, about 2 minutes per side on a gas grill. Transfer the breasts to a cutting board and let them rest about 5 minutes before thinly slicing them crosswise. Serve the chicken over salad greens and cherry tomatoes. Serves 6 to 8.

Inside-Out Cheeseburgers
from http://recipe.aol.com/recipe/inside-out-cheeseburgers/509
Ingredients
1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
1 pound 90%-lean ground beef
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Cooking Instructions
1. Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat the broiler.
2. Combine Cheddar and Gruyere in a small bowl.
3. Gently mix beef, Worcestershire, paprika and pepper in a large bowl, preferably with your hands, without overworking. Shape into 8 thin, 4-inch-wide patties. Mound 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on each of 4 patties, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Cover each with one of the remaining patties. Crimp and seal the edges closed.
4. To grill: Lightly oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the stuffed patties over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. (Be sure not to press the burgers as they cook or they'll split open and the cheese will ooze out.) To broil: Cover a broiler pan with foil and coat with cooking spray. Broil the stuffed patties in the upper third of the oven, about 4 minutes per side for medium-well. In either case, let the burgers stand for 5 minutes before serving.

1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

In a large bowl, mix together the drained pasta, ham, peppers, onion, pickles and tomatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, beef bouillon granules, vinegar, salt, pepper, garlic and 1/2 cup of reserved pickle juice. Fold into the salad and toss gently until evenly coated. Chill overnight to allow the flavors to blend. Serve near room temperature.

*Mama Meows Tips*

If you like your cheese sliced extra fine, try using a potato peeler. It's perfect for sandwiches or cheese on toast.

You'll find it much easier to grate a lemon if you run the grater under a cold water tap immediately beforehand
Kill household smells and have a fresh smelling house - put a few drops of wintergreen oil on a cotton ball. Place in a glass container. It will last for months and is as effective as room sprays.

When chopping onions, dip your fingers into vinegar beforehand to stop the smell getting onto your hands.

When making hamburger patties, I use a baggie to grab and shape the meat. This saves my hands from the yucky greasy "after making patties" feeling.

ADDED TO MUCH SALT?
Peel a few potatoes, throw them in the pot and let them cook with the meal for about 20 minutes then just remove the potato and throw it away. The salt is absorbed into the potato MEAL SAVED!!

To shine patent leather shoes or handbags, rub with unbeaten egg white. Allow it to dry, then polish with a soft cloth.

Keep your fingernails clean while doing a dirty job by first running them all across a bar of soap so there is a scraping beneath each of your nails.

Crushed egg shells and water make an excellent scourer for vases.

Avoid splashing curtains when washing the windows by folding them on a coat hanger and hanging it from the pole or runner.

Prevent streaks when cleaning glass surfaces by using scrunched up newspaper for the final wipe.



Use a little fabric conditioner in warm water to clean glass topped tables, TV screens or stereo lids, then rub dry. This prevents dust settling on the surface.

22 Creative Ways to Use Plastic Grocery Bags (Plus Readers' Ideas)  by Rachel Keller

http://www.betterbudgeting.com/articles/frugality/plasticgrocerybag.htm

Before you discard (or even recycle) another plastic bag, consider trying some of these ideas:

1. Save money by using plastic bags as trash can liners.

2. Don’t buy expensive mailing fillers. Save plastic bags to protect and keep items from moving around.

3. Use plastic bags to protect Christmas decorations while storing.

4. Keep a couple plastic bags in a diaper bag for soiled clothing.

5. When traveling, use plastic bags in your suitcases for dirty underclothes.

6. Place your wet swim suits or other wet clothing inside plastic bags until you arrive home and can launder or hang out to dry.

7. When away from home, put dirty shoes or boots in a bag so you don’t get dirt in your car. (That’s assuming you have other shoes to wear.)

8. Place disposable diapers in a bag before tossing in the diaper pail. It helps diminish odors somewhat.

9. Keep several in your car, especially if you have children. If someone gets unexpectedly sick while on the highway and you’re unable to stop, use double bags. You can knot and dispose–better in the bag than all over the car.

10. Use for puzzles or other items which have small parts that may get lost. My elementary-age sons enjoy putting together (and taking apart) 500-piece puzzles. Unfortunately, some of the puzzle boxes have become worn out. I keep the puzzles in the boxes with a rubberband around the box. To prevent pieces from falling out and getting lost, I then place the puzzle inside a bag.

11. Place food inside a plastic bag before packing in a lunch bag. Even "airtight" containers can leak, especially if the lid is not on tightly.

12. Put sippy cups (even "spill-proof" ones) in a bag to prevent accidental spills in the diaper bag.

13. For easy cleanup, place a plastic bag inside a bucket or pot next to your sink when you peel fruits or vegetables. You can quickly dispose of the bag or place peelings in a compost pile.

14. Double line a bucket with plastic bags. When removing the skin and fat (or even bones) from chicken or other meat, place in bags for easy cleanup.

15. Place frozen ice packs in a plastic bags to prevent condensation from "puddling" in your lunch bag. When we travel, we freeze some water in our water bottles before filling them up with cold water. The bottles produce so much condensation, that it looks like a little lake in our cup dispensers. To prevent that, pack water bottles in a plastic bag.

16. Use for organization in a deep freezer. I stock up on frozen vegetables and place like vegetables together in a plastic bag. (Rotate by putting newest vegetables on the bottom of the bag.) I usually place my vegetables in the freezer in alphabetical order. Doing this helps me know exactly where to find certain vegetables. You can also use various colored bags to sort vegetables.

I like using bags to ensure no vegetables get "lost" in the freezer. Plus, I know exactly how many bags I have of each item, and unloading the freezer to defrost and clean is so much easier. Another hint is to list the contents of your deep freezer on a magnetic dry erase board (or keep a paper on top with a magnet). Every time you take out something, delete an item from the list. If you are diligent about this, you will know exactly what needs replacing when you go to the store.

17. When defrosting meats, place a paper towel in a plastic bag and put meats in the bag to prevent messy leaks and cleanups.

18. In the winter, use plastic bags over your children’s snow boots to keep feet drier.

19. Carry a couple bags with you while you walk. You can use it to pick up trash and then dispose.

20. Take bags to the grocery store to reuse instead of getting new ones each time.

21. Donate bags to food pantries, used book stores, libraries, thrift shops, or other organizations. Instead of stuffing all the bags into one bag, flatten the plastic bags, fold them in half, and place in another plastic bag before donating.

22. Fill several bags with food or other items for a needy family. (This is one of the most rewarding ways to use those bags!)

23. Okay, I know I said 22 ideas, but if those bags are still overflowing in your closet, deposit the extras in a recycle bin at your local store.

To keep your plastic bags neat and available, you can purchase special cloth bags for storing them, make your own bag, or use an empty tissue box. I find empty tissue boxes to be the most convenient and economical (as well as environmentally friendly) for me. Keep several in different rooms (pantry, closet, basement, baby room for diapers, etc.) and pull out bags as needed.

Here’s a hint while at the grocery store. Ask the bagger to put your cold items inside a paper bag. (You may want to have them put the frozen items in a plastic bag and then inside the paper bag.) The paper bag helps to keep the items colder longer, and when you arrive home, you’ll know automatically which bags to empty first.

One last caution: Teach your children never to put a plastic bag over their head. If you have young children, keep plastic bags out of their reach to avoid suffocation.

Readers' Ideas  
edited by Michelle Jones

"Crochet bags into door mats, easy to hose off.  Around here several people have been crocheting the plastic bags into oval or circular rugs for their entry's, porches, and patios."

"Great for picking up dead mice or other things if gloves are not handy."

"At a garage sale recently a lady showed us how she folds her bags--lay out flat and smooth with hands then fold in fourths lengthwise, then start folding in triangles as flags are folded line liter pans with plastic bags, double if needed, easy to dispose of."

"When walking your dog, put your hand inside the bag to pick up doggie's business, then wrap bag around, tie off, and dispose of properly. No mess, no dirty hands. Better than any pooper scooper I've ever seen!"  (Several of our readers submitted this tip, so we combined them into one!)

"I always take stitching or crocheting with me in the car and on trips.  I keep it in double plastic grocery bags.  They are lightweight, fit in smaller spaces, and if the outer one gets dirty or torn, the inner one is still protecting my project."

"I double plastic grocery bags (just in case one has a hole--no leakage) and use them to collect scooped kitty waste from my cat's litter box.  They are perfect for collecting the solids that are formed with scoopable litter."

"For about twenty years I have been using grocery bags as trash liners.  It seemed such a waste of money to buy trash bags when I could use grocery bags.  Then a few years ago I decided that I wanted to keep a stash of bags in each room where a trash can was located.  I had an empty tissue box and realized that the functional design of the box would meet my needs.  Form follows function.  Well, with each new tissue purchases I took into consideration the decor of the rooms I wished to have a grocery bag stash in.  When the box was empty a new room would get a bag stash.  I have a stash in the kitchen, the bathrooms, the laundry room, and on the changing table.  The stash blends in with the room design, no eyesore.  Taking out the trash is faster and there is no more excuses for not replacing the trash liners." - Sandy

"My father (God rest his soul) used to store the bags in a empty paper towel roll. Works like a charm." - ljds

"You already offered so many great tips of using plastic bags. I can not add another one. I just wanted to let you know that I do not use many plastic bags... as most of the time I take several bags made of sturdy fabrics with me to the grocery store (or any other store or the library). They can hold more than the plastic bags, I can reuse them over and over again (if dirty, just wash them), I receive a 'bag credit' at the check out and it is very friendly to the environment. Sometimes I get a few plastic bags anyway, because I forgot my bags or I purchased more groceries than fit into my bags or I purchased meat, which I like to have wrapped in a plastic bag in case it leaks. I use those extra plastic bags for lining my garbage cans." - Sylvia

"I didn't see this idea mentioned in your list.  I keep a few in my desk drawer at work.  If you have a lot of mail a bag is handy to carry it in so that it is kept together." - Charlene

"Yes, I do have another use and it is a good one.  If you have a sick person in the house who has a hard time making it to the bathroom to throw up, line something a box or a trash can with a bag and it is easier to clean up for them or you.  Place other extras near by for repeated use.  Sorry this is kind of gross but a real part of life." - Virginia

"Walking the dog… I don’t think this needs further explanation! ; ) " - Nancy

"I use them to collect and dispose of weeds in my yard. I use the bags to collect spent flowers when deadheading." - Jack
"I love your ideas. Here are some more for you to share with others: Use the boxes that pop cans come in to store your bags. The can dispenser holes are idea for dispensing the bags. Just use the handle hole as a was to fill the box up again and again. That way you can recycle two types of items at once. You can cram so many bags into one of these little boxes and store the box in a cupboard. Kids and adults can make fun jewelry out of them by cutting them into strips and braiding them and making bracelets out of them. Save them to make ice packs in emergencies for sprains and other injuries." - Donna

"Preparing the Thanksgiving Turkey is a little hard on my ick nerve. I put my hand inside of a plastic grocery bag before reaching inside to pull out the neck and gizzards. I pull them out, then, with my other hand, pull the bag in the other direction so they're inside of the bag, tie it and dispose." - Angie
