Weekday Morning Pancakes
You鈥檙e not one to reach for the pre made pancake mix, but on some mornings when the kids are demanding pancakes Wholesale Chris Wormley Jersey , it can sure be tempting. Breaking out your trusty blender, simply pour all of your dry ingredients in and pulse them together before adding the wet ingredients for the perfect homemade pancake batter in seconds while your griddle is warming up. With the spout on the jug, you can quickly pour in the batter all while your kettle boils water for tea to go alongside.
Powdered Sugar
Have you ever started working on a tasty baked dish only to discover you ran out of powdered sugar weeks ago? As the kitchen problem-solver you are, don鈥檛 abandon the dish Wholesale Tyus Bowser Jersey , but improvise with fresh powdered sugar. All you need to do is pour normal granulated sugar into the blender and kick it up to high speed. What you're left with is powdered sugar just as messy and fluffy as the store-bought stuff, and you'll have the satisfaction of making one more element from scratch.
Oat Flour
Another baking ingredient that you might typically buy at the store is oat flour. It鈥檚 a gluten-free alternative that many people use as a substitute in their baked goods, and once again your blender can help you avoid a trip to the store. Simply pulse rolled oats into a fine consistency to use in fresh-baked bread and desserts. This tip will help you save money as you can avoid paying a premium for oat flour at the supermarket and you can enjoy a fresher flavour experience too. Along with oats, a blender can make flour out of wheat grains and rice too so experiment and mill some fresh flour to elevate your baked goods.

Pour the batter into your preferred serving dish, bake for about 20 minutes, and the delicious smells will greet you as you open the oven door. Add a scoop (or two) of ice cream on the side, and you have a tasty treat sure to please your mid-week sweet cravings.
Compost Breakdown
If you have a garden where you grow vegetables and fruits Wholesale Marlon Humphrey Jersey , it鈥檚 a great practice to compost your food waste for natural fertiliser. If you don鈥檛 have the space for a compost bin, blenders are excellent alternatives. Put your soft food scraps into the jug and blend them. After that, you can sprinkle the mixture into your soil or place in your compost bin to save on space while it converts to true compost.Dogs bark to communicate with other dogs and to express themselves. Sometimes, though Wholesale Justin Tucker Jersey , they can get a little too expressive. If your dog's barking is out of control and you feel like you are constantly trying to quiet him then you may be in need of some help. Dogs should be allowed to bark, but not excessively. Their barking should not annoy neighbors, wake up the kids or cause you headaches. When your dog's barking starts to be too much, you need to get control over it or things will only get worse.
Some Breeds Are Barkers
Certain breeds do bark more than other breeds Wholesale Terrell Suggs Jersey , but this should never be an excuse to let barking get out of control. Even the yappiest breeds can be taught when barking is appropriate and when it is not. It is all about proper training and reinforcement. With breeds that are prone to being barkers, it may take more time and patience but it is possible to get their barking under control.
Stay Calm and Avoid Yelling
When your dog barks the first instinct you have is probably to yell for him to be quiet. This is actually a huge mistake and is making the problem worse. Your dog sees you yelling as barking. He probably thinks you are talking to him so he will keep barking to talk back to you. He may also think you are barking at whatever he is barking at. In any case, yelling is a bad thing. It encourages more barking and won't solve a thing, so don't yell.
Instead try to stay calm and remove your dog from the situation. You want to put him somewhere that does not encourage barking Wholesale Marshal Yanda Jersey , like his crate or just inside the house. Do not pay attention to him. Just lead him inside or to the crate and leave him. If you pay attention to him then he will see this as praise and it will encourage the barking.
Praise Quiet
When your dog is not barking, you should play with him and give him attention. Once barking starts you ignore him. This will teach him that being quiet gets a reward. He will be more likely to quite down when he sees you because he knows you won't give him attention when he is barking.
Remove Stimulus
If at all possible, remove whatever it is that makes your bark from his sight. In some cases this won't be possible because a dog may react to something you can't remove, like a dog in a neighbor's yard. If you can't remove the stimulus than go back to the idea of removing your dog from the situation.
