Recipes

Here you will find for easy reference all the recipes whether they be for food or other home made DIY projects that I discuss in my posts or on the Facebook page.

Home made face mask:
1 tablespoon of unflavoured gelatine
1 - 2 tablespoons of any milk

Mix ingredients together in a microwave proof dish, microwave for 5-10 seconds, stir and apply immediately. Leave to harden for 10 - 15 minutes then carefully peel off.


Magic vinegar shower cleaner:
Heat 1 cup of vinegar for 90 seconds in the microwave.
Mix in 1 cup of dish washing liquid and stir.

Pour mixture into a spray bottle and happy cleaning. Mixture does not need to be heated before each use, just the initial heating of the vinegar will do the trick.

Home made chalkboard paint:
1 tablespoon of unsanded grout
Half a cup of acrylic paint of any colour of your choice

Place your unsanded grout into a container. Mix/pound with a spoon or fork to ensure your grout is smooth and free of lumps. Alternatively you can mix in a little water to make a paste just be sure to have a smooth bowl of grout before you add your paint.
Once happy with the texture of your grout pour in your acrylic paint and stir thoroughly.

Your chalkboard paint is now ready for your next project.

Home made Oven Cleaner
1 cup of Baking Soda
1/2 cup of salt
1/4 cup of dishwashing liquid

Mix ingredients together to form a paste. Slather on to walls and floor of oven. Leave for five to eight hours. Over night works well. Rinse off with warm water. Depending on the level of grease and dirt in your oven some old fashion elbow grease may be required but this mixture does a very good job at loosening it all up.

Spray oven with white vinegar to be sure all paste is removed.
