Tips from "La Dolce Vegan" by Sarah Kramer

Just wanted to share a few tips i thought were AWESOME while trying out "La Dolce Vegan" by Sarah Kramer. There were some tasty recipes that will be tested out and shared through August.

Tips

Baking Powder...to make sure your baking powder still has some umph, in a small bowl combine 1 teaspoon of the baking powder with 1/3 cup of hot water...if it bubbles it's good!

Yeast...to test out that yeast you have in the cabinet before starting your favorite recipe, combine 1 teaspoon of sugar with 2 teaspoons of yeast and add 1/4 cup of warm water. Again...if it bubbles it's good!

If wine is spilled on a tablecloth of rug, blot up as much as possible and immediately cover with a generous amount of salt. Leave until dried. Vacuum up the salt, rinse with cold water, and and stain should be gone. (This is one i'll believe when i see it)

Got extra salt? Make scented bath salts!
1 cup of Epsom Salt
1 cup of Baking Soda
3~4 drops of desired Essential Oil
