Life Hack Of The Day: Cleaning Edition

Try this fool-proof trick for the cleanest pans. As soon as you’re done with the pan, fill it with cold, not hot, water and let sit to soak. After a few minutes go at it with a scrubby, some soap and say goodbye to the burned-on food on the bottom of the pan.

A tongue scraper is the morning routine you need to try. A tongue scraper is superior to the bristles of your toothbrush when it comes to cleaning plaque buildup, which can lead to poor digestion and even cardiovascular disease. Bonus: your morning coffee breath will be banished! [Swirled]

Recipe Of The Day: A creamy and savory spaghetti squash with garlicky shrimp feels indulgent, but it’s actually good for you. Start by slicing a spaghetti squash in half lengthwise and coat it with olive oil and seasoning before popping it in a 400-degree oven for 40 minutes. The guilt-free alfredo sauce is a combo of unsweetened almond milk, full-fat Greek yogurt and shaved Parmesan cheese. Once the sauce has thoroughly heated, remove from the heat and sauté shrimp until pink. Combine all the ingredients together for a delicious summertime take on classic comfort food.

A quick tip from the Swirled Community: If you ever put too much salt in the sauce you’re cooking, try this simple tip from Trudy L.: Add a raw potato to the sauce. It will absorb the excess salt. Discard the potato before you serve and it’ll be as good as new.
