Reader Tip - Save your butta wrappers

My pal and true warrior mom, Vampmommy, emailed me when she saw my granola bar post to say that I could use my butter wrappers in place of wax paper when I press the mix into the pan. Genius! I have used the wrappers to grease pans instead of grabbing a paper towel, but they worked perfectly when I made a batch the other day as a handy, pre-greased piece of wax paper.
People may have been calling me "Butta" since I was 15, but this is a new use for the smooth stuff and I am super grateful.

Reader Tip - Pumpkin for Pooches

Dear Friend and Reader Nurse Hoo-Ha has shared another handy use for canned pumpkin, reinforcing the need to have this pretty puree in your pantry.

"1/2 can of pumpkin puree can cure a beloved pet's digestive troubles- ie loose stools.
I always have one on hand."

I have also heard this, but thankfully, have YET to need it. With that said, I am sure Dog 1 or Puppy 2 shall develop a case of the trots in the AM.

Thanks Hoo!
