Organize your Squeezy Shaky

Several months ago someone posted a WFMW that I loved. Thank you whoever you are! She said to put sour cream in a squeeze bottle to squeeze on tacos and burritos. So fun and not messsy! We go through a lot of sour cream and jam on crepes so my kids love our Sour Squeezy. Apparently we eat way more crepes that the average person should be allowed to eat. I hope it's a phase that my seven year old is going through.

The only problem I had was getting the sour cream into the small bottle opening. Help! Then I came up with a solution to spoon it into a baggy, cut the bottom corner off and then squeeze it into the squeeze bottle. That is a lot of squeezing!

Squeezing the sour cream onto the crepes was so thrilling that I got the idea to fill a squeeze bottle with jam as well. I dumped the jam into the blender and blended it smooth. That made it easy to pour into the squeeze bottle and kept the bottle from getting plugged up with fruit chunks. I bought more bottles at a dollar store, 3/$1, so I could get the entire jar of jam organized at once. Yes, you can organize jam! I can't really think of anything more organized than squeezy jam. I'm sure you can buy it already squeezy but blending your own squeeze is a lot more fun.


Raisin ShakerMy other idea for today is a Raisin Shaker. You never knew you needed a Raisin Shaker did you? I didn't either until I found this bottle in a box in my pantry and was determined to come up for a use for it. I bought it at a garage sale to use for salad dressing but I think it makes a much better Raisin Shaker.

You can shake your Raisin Shaker and you can shake your booty but please don't ever shake your Crack Baby.

(You can stop watching after the Raisin Shakin because the excitement is pretty much over at that point.)


How exciting is it that I didn't clean my kitchen for this production? And I don't know why we did this on the floor except that we wanted you to see all the dust and garbage under the kitchen cabinet.

as always, cracked me up! Gave me an idea about how to store cereal however! I love raisins, yet I don't have any children who like them.
I had to speak again in hubby's ward. twice in three days--too much! I also realized what a poor public speaker I am!

Are you ready to help me on the desks next week? I am hoping that I will have the wood painted by this Saturday.

If anyone could organize jam it would be you! I was wondering though if you thought of using a funnel to get the sour cream into your squeeze bottle. Maybe it doesn't work as well because of how viscous it is? Just a thought.

What a great idea!! I might have to make a $1 store run tomorrow... The crack baby thing is still making me laugh.

Is it too thin to squeeze on sandwiches? It sounds so much better than a jam-covered knife handle.

When do we get to see the crepes video?

I am impressed!! She even put everything away when she was done! Nice trick! It is amazing the things kids can do if you give them the chance to do things for themselves!!

And, I like your cabinet!

Good gracious, woman, I love your heavenly kitchen and I want to marry it. Love the drawers, love the floor, love everything about it!

Oh, and the raisin shaker is a great idea, too.

Love your system and your daughter. What a kid! Also, I watched the video with my kids and they remarked that you and I sound exactly alike.

I love these ideas!! I'm gonna have to look at our Dollar Store to see what squeezy finds they have waiting there for me. :)
Thanks!

Too funny and great tip!

Have you guys got the squeezy ketchup, mustard and relish bottles down there? Heinz brand, I think. We clean those out and reuse 'em all the time. The lid is really big and screws right off. Love 'em.

And I want a raisin shaker now.

I love that idea and I LOVE YOUR KITCHEN! So nice to have storage in big drawers like that... where everyone can reach!

Shake those raisins, baby!

Totally cute! And, your kitchen looks great to me (I didn't see garbage under the cabinets).

I like how you have such a self serve system with the cereal and the raisin shaker. I need to make my pantry more "user friendly" for little ones. I am lazy too and the more they do, the less I have to!

Thanks for the smile and the great ideas!
