Kitchen Tip Tuesday (11/1/11)

Have you seen those casserole carriers from Pyrex that have the heating pad in there to keep your food hot? I got one of those when I got married. I’m not ashamed to tell you that the very first time I tried to warm it in the microwave, I melted it. Sometimes it pays to read the directions. When I’m at a potluck, I always feel let down when the deliciousness on my plate turns out to be cold. What a total let down. So, that’s why I like to tote my warm potluck dishes in something that will insure they stay hot.

I had Barry pick up two ceramic tiles for me when he was in Lowes. He paid less than $1/each for them. When I’m making a dish to tote somewhere, when I preheat the oven to bake I just put my two tiles in there on the bottom shelf, like shown. When I took this photo, I was getting ready to make yogurt, so I used my tiles instead of my normal baking stone. I leave my tiles in there the whole time my dish is baking. This insures they get completely warmed.

When I’m packing up my food to go, I get out my tiles and wrap them in dish towels. Be careful….they are hot and you might burn yourself, causing a scream to burst forth. Or so I hear from OTHER PEOPLE. *Cough*I put one covered tile in the bottom of my carrier and one on the top. If you don’t have a lid for your dish, you can just put both tiles in the bottom. A box for toting, instead of a carrier, works just fine too.

You’ll be the hit of ALL your potlucks.

    This is also a great tip for those who don’t have a microwave (and can’t use the heating pad that comes with the dish)! 🙂

If you hate it, just scroll on by. 🤍 But it was helpful to us. 🥰⠀
⠀
Often, I have a hard time getting my kids to remember things I’ve taught them, like how to properly clean a toilet or clean mirrors. “I forgot.”⠀
⠀
You know what they don’t forget? Stuff they watch on You Tube. 🤪🤪⠀
⠀
So I went to You Tube and sourced kid videos about cleaning the bathroom. The kids all watched them. ⠀
⠀
Now they’re all cleaning their own bathrooms. Boom. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Worked for us. ⠀
⠀
** Just search on YT for “kid cleaning videos” and see what you find. Different parents have different parameters for what they allow. Barry and I screened videos first but each person can find their own. ❤️🤍

Hard times can make us or break us.

Our family experienced some big changes and shocks and pruning (removing) in 2021. Some days I didn’t want to get out of my house or my bed.⠀
⠀
But already we are coming out of darkness into His wonderful light and I can see - I can see the benefits of hard times. ⠀
⠀
New beautiful growth and hope. ❤️⠀
⠀
What is one benefit YOU have experienced from hard times?
This culture has nothing to offer our family.⠀
⠀
I lived for too long believing that hustle was to the benefit of this family. ⠀
⠀
God’s call upon our life isn’t to hustle and grind our days away while we prove our worth and see our success. ⠀
⠀
No, friends. It’s God’s desire that when people look at you and me, they don’t see US or what WE accomplished but instead say:⠀
⠀
Wow, only God did that. ⠀
⠀
The Myers aren’t building an empire. We are building our family, day by day. Tiny moment by tiny moment. 🤍
