Tricky Tuesday #23
Hey there! I am so sorry for being MIA in this series for a long time. Life got in the way and you know how that goes. ๐ Anyway, I am back with these new set of kitchen hacks and I hope you will like them.
Cleaning your blender quickly
I love making smoothies or shakes, but it gets annoying when it comes to cleaning your blender. You have to remove everything from the blending jar and clean. Gladly, I have found this trick and been using it for quite a while now. I use it during weekdays when I am on the run. But I make sure to clean the rubbers and everything during the weekends.

Peeling Kiwi with a Spoon
I hope I could love peeling fruits as much as I love to eat them. Sometimes, no matter how I love to eat fruits, peeling is something that hinders me to enjoy them. Maybe that is why Bananas are the only ones I eat mostly everyday because it’s super easy to peel them. Hmm… ๐ Kiwis are one of the fruits I’d love to put in my smoothies. I am happy to find this trick and I think I will find myself buying bunch of Kiwis today. ๐

Saving Your Leaves Using the Paper Towel Trickย
There are times that I am super lazy when it comes to storing my leaves. I get lettuce from the market which are kept inside a plastic bag and I don’t do anything with them unless I am ready to use it in a salad. Undeniably, there are times that it gets to end its life and I regret that so many times. I asked myself ‘what can I do to save them’ and I found this trick. Not only it applies to leaves, but it also applies to other veggies and fruits. Click the image below to know more about ‘The Paper Towel Trick’.

Making Your Own Cupcake Holder
Sharing is good. But let’s not deny the fact that buying containers is sometimes a ‘pain’. I love to bake (I think you know that already ๐ ) and I love to give. I mostly buy plastic containers and put my cupcakes or cakes there and give it away. Of course, I would not expect that my containers will come back to me. I don’t want to use old containers or ‘stained’ containers. That sounds unpleasant. I came across this trick and I loved it. I have not done it yet, but I’ll surely do when I give away some goodies.

Making Your Strawberries Last Longerย
My heart skips a beat when I see pretty strawberries sitting on the grocery chiller. They are so gorgeous and you just want them to stay that way. Alas, they don’t – you get to see molds after days of buying them. But this video will tell you know to make them last longer than usual.
That’s all folks! I hope you enjoy these tricks. Till next time. ๐
