tomorrow is officially the first day of summer!  wah-hoo!  in the summer, we love to spend more time outside and less time in the kitchen.  there are so many great kitchen tips floating around the internet that make cooking/baking so much easier, and i thought i'd share some of them in time for the start of summer.

here are a few fun links that i found around the internet recently:

how to pit cherries with chopsticks

how to quickly defrost meat

how to shred chicken in less than a minute

how to make garlic paste in a plastic sandwich baggie

how to make popcorn in a brown paper bag

how to turn your blender into a d.i.y. magic bullet

how to make chocolate cake in just one minute

have a great weekend!
