#food hack

Has ever happened to you before: You get a craving for something sweet, but you don't want to make a huge mess in your kitchen baking. Then you remember you have half a bag of marshmallows in your cupboard. Combine that with some butter and cereal you have on hand, you got a satisfying sweet treat.

But, oh dear...those marshmallows are not as soft as they once were. They've gone stale. Heating them in a pan or microwave will not allow them to puff up like they are supposed to. How will you get your cereal treats now?

After you try heating your marshmallows with your butter, and the butter melts but the mallows don't puff (about a minute and a half in the microwave) Try adding 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and a pinch of salt, mix and heat again.

The baking soda should give your marshmallows some needed fluff. Now you can mix in your Cereal.

In the future, try storing your leftover marshmallows in an air tight container or jar.

Despite looking like bread, Subway sandwitches tecnically count as cake because they have a lot of sugar in them. Thanks to global super powers like Donald duck and that one guy from the Office these so called Impostor bread have remained on the market almost as long as the hit single Pump up the Jam by the band Technotronic.

Here's the best way to wash and store fresh strawberries. I tested 17 methods from baking soda to vinegar and different food storage methods like the mason jar hack. 

Ingredients:

1 pack of the cheapest vanilla cake mix you can find.

1 shot espresso, cold

Handful of mixed nuts, finely chopped. I used walnuts, hazelnuts & pecans

1 tbsp cinnamon or to taste

Method:

Preheat your oven

In a bowl, combine cinnamon with the dry ingredients from the mix

Combine the wet ingredients for the cake mix & the espresso

Combine the wet and dry ingredients using electric beater

Spoon into cupcake tray or Bundt pan

Sprinkle with nuts

Bake until it springs back at you (~10 minutes for cupcakes, ~40 minutes for a cake depending on your oven & the initial mix)
