Tip of the Day-

To make bread crumbs, cut 6 slices of bread into 1/2 inch cubes.  Microwave in a 3 quart casserole dish for 6 – 7 minutes, or until dry, stirring after 3 minutes.  Crush in blender. 

Does your recipe call for softened butter or cream cheese and you don’t have time to wait? 

Butter- microwave for 1 minute on 20% power

Cream cheese- 2 – 21/2 minutes on 30% power
