The second tip, from another friend, has to do with cookies. Fresh-out-of-the-oven-whenever-you-choose type of cookies. One of the reasons that I rarely bake chocolate chip cookies anymore (unless the grandchildren are visiting) is that we don't need batches of cookies sitting around, just for the two of us. (My husband would disagree with this logic, he certainly does his part to keep inventory down). But, he would agree, that the cookies are always best when they are just out of the oven. Now, because I paid attention to my friend's suggestion, I mix up a full batch of chocolate chip cookie dough and scoop it all onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Then I stick it into the freezer for several hours until each "cookie" is frozen through. Clean up is done all at once and I don't have to think about that again.
From there, the "cookies" are placed into a plastic bag (I place that into an additional freezer container) to remain in the freezer until needed. From this point, whenever that cookie-urge strikes, or guests drop by, you can bake as many or as few as you choose right then and there.
No muss, no fuss! Yum; pour the milk!
Now, don't you feel smarter? I know that I do, thanks to my friends!
Life is Good!

Brilliant ideas. Definitely will be trying them both.

Both ideas are great! Thanks for sharing them.
great idea on the dumbbell! I already do the hint with the cookie dough -
Great tips thanks for sharing.
That is super idea! I have made my own cookie rolls, like the ones from the cold section in the grocery store...but I like your idea better! I DO feel smarter, LOL!
Thank you!

Great tips! Especially using the hand weight to hold down the ruler. Thanks for sharing!
I know I feel smarter about the weight and the ruler. Now I know what to do with my hand weights when I am finished with my shoulder therapy. :)
My sister uses that method for cookies, and I always think I will give it a try, but have yet to do it. Maybe this was the nudge I needed.
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing! I need to try them both!
