🧠 More of Nana’s Clever Kitchen Hacks

She had a solution for just about everything:

  • Keep brown sugar soft: She’d toss in a slice of apple or a piece of bread into the container.
  • No eggs for baking? She’d use a mashed banana or a spoonful of applesauce.
  • Stale cookies? A few seconds in the microwave with a damp paper towel made them taste like new.

It wasn’t about perfection—it was about resourcefulness, respect for ingredients, and a deep love for making the most of what you had.


💬 Final Thoughts

In a world of overcomplicated solutions and throwaway culture, my Nana’s quiet wisdom still echoes:
“Use what you’ve got. Don’t let anything go to waste.”

So the next time you’re ready to toss that stale bread, remember—there might just be a clever little trick that saves the day. And maybe, just maybe, it came from someone like your Nana too.
