HELOISE TRIPLE DECKED GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH
Why stop with only two pieces of bread and one slice of cheese!!
Here is one of my own "creations" that I think I'm the only one who like the taste. You can make it your own, with any type of cheese, add or delete to your taste buds.

Make Appetizers Attractive
Here's a hint from a reader I just love! Use a
crinkle cutter (I still call it a pickle slicer) to cut fresh veggies, eggs for deviled eggs and even rolled (from the frig) cookie dough. Click here for the reader letter and photo of my mothers old, old "pickle slicer."
Love your high-priced coffee, but don't want to spend the money? Make your own at home and save $5 to $10 a week!
You can easily create special flavors, such as Mocha, Vienna, Coffee Olé, or even a favorite of mine, low-calorie Café au Lait.
If tea is your preference, my pamphlet, Heloise's Flavored Coffee and Teas is also filled with recipes for Spiced tea, Friendship tea and more. Click here for more information. |

Heloise offers vegetarian lifestyle hints |
| By Jessica Belasco/San Antonio Express-News/Photography by Helen L. Montoya/San Antonio Express-News |
|
When I asked Heloise to talk with me about her vegetarian lifestyle, I assume she'll want to meet at one of San Antonio's few vegetarian restaurants or at least at a veggie-friendly place. Instead, she suggests lunch at a downtown steakhouse.

HINT THIS MONTH
DO IT GREENER
Pack Your Bags
Here's a perfect holiday use for all those plastic grocery sacks that are clogging up your cupboard and recycling area: Use them when shipping gifts–the bags themselves don't weigh squat. As long as the items being packed aren't too fragile, there's no need to splurge on packing peanuts. Click here for more Heloise Hints in
Good Housekeeping.

KITCHEN Keep a large bottle of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide (available at supermarkets and drug stores) under the kitchen sink. It has multiple uses: sanitize plastic cutting boards, wipe off dirty can opener blades and to kill bacteria in the drain. Be aware that it may lighten surfaces.
BATH For just pennies, you can clean the bathroom sink, bathtub and shower. Buy the cheapest hair shampoo you can (look for sales). I use a plastic scrubber to apply straight from the bottle, then rinse off. Do this after showering and the gunk will not build up!
LAUNDRY For under a quarter, you can make prewash stain remover for washable clothes! Mix 1/3 nonsudsing/clear ammonia, 1/3 dishwashing liquid (NOT dishwasher liquid or gel), 1/3 water. Pour into a clearly labeled spray bottle. Apply to stains and allow to sit for only 5 minutes, then wash ASAP.
