Purchase a THREE-RING BINDER with sheet spacer.  When you find a recipe you want, cut it out and glue or tape it to papers.  Organize by course, fruits, veggies, etc.  This helps organize all your recipes. (Alison Seymour)

Designs for CAKE DECORATING: Lay a stencil or a cookie cutter on top of icing, fill in with sprinkles or colored sugar crystals.  Remove stencil.

Treat your children to CINNAMON FINGER STICKS: Butter bread on two sides, slice in strips, coat with cinnamon and sugar and toast in oven.  MMM Good!

Homemade PUMPKIN SEEDS: Empty filling from pumpkin, wash through strainer, spread seeds on cookie sheet.  Bake until dried in 350 degree oven.  Sprinkle with salt if desired.
