**A few Cooking Secrets**

* (My grandmother taught me this) Add a dash of brown sugar to your spaghetti sauce to kill some of the acidity of the tomatoes (to help prevent indigestion).

* Before cutting a lemon or lime, microwave it for 10 seconds and it will let out more juice!

*Grating Cheese. For easier shredding, put the cheese first in the freezer for thirty minutes.

*Pancakes. Add a little sugar to your batter of pancakes and waffles to make them brown more quickly.

*Use applesauce or other fruit purees in place of butter or oil in baked goods.
