Tip Tuesday - Steamed Milk

My husband has become slightly addicted to Starbucks. The problem? Money and the 30 minute drive. So we decided to figure out how to make our favorite Starbucks treats at home. We had the Starbucks organic coffee, chocolate, caramel and milk. We had everything we needed to make them except a milk steamer. So I found this tip online and I am so excited to share it with you. It's so easy.

1.Pour about 1/4 - 1/2 cup of milk into a small canning jar.

2. Put on the lid and shake it for about a minute until it is nice and frothy.

3. Take off the lid and pop the jar in the microwave for about 30 seconds and prepare to be amazed.

That's it! It's that easy!

Let me know what you think if you try it.

Tip Tuesday - Clean Microwave Trick

This week's tip is for cleaning the microwave fast and easily.

After cleaning your kitchen take your dish rag, give it a good rinse, wring out excess water and pop it in the microwave. Microwave for about 15 seconds then wait IT WILL BE SCORCHING HOT. I usually wait about a minute for the rag to cool down a little ( good time to sweep the floor). Open the microwave and use your hot rag to easily clean out the mess.

Works like a charm. Try it out and tell me what you think.
