"How to Clean the Bathroom" Printable

Who wants to do all the cleaning in their house? Not me! 

I have been teaching my kids to clean, and they are becoming pretty reliable. That said, I still need to give quite specific instructions on what needs to be done, especially when it comes to cleaning the bathroom. 

This month in Real Simple magazine, there is a great little article on deep cleaning a bathroom. When I saw it, I immediately thought, "This is what my kids need." It goes through each step and explains what to do. Not rocket science, I know; but who has kids that cleaned the bathroom perfectly the first time? 

((cue the chirping crickets))

So, after reading the article, I decided to make a condensed list of cleaning instructions into a printable that is cute enough to frame or mount and hang on the bathroom wall! It is a convenient, quick reference for whomever (me, the hubs, or a kid) is doing the cleaning. And I'm sharing 3 color choices as a FREE download! Enjoy!

De-Seed Jalapeños the EASY Way

I've been a salsa making MACHINE lately. I already shared my Zucchini Salsa Verde, and I hope to get a post up soon with the tomato salsa I canned a couple of days ago. But, for now, I wanted to share this super way I came up with of de-seeding the jalapeños for the salsa! 

This is the secret tool: a grapefruit spoon! You'll need one of these, a cutting board, and a knife. Gloves are a good idea, but not a necessity if you are careful. (:

Slice the pepper in half lengthwise. If you can slice through the stem, do it! It helps to have a little stem on each half to hold. 

Holding one half of the pepper in one hand, use the grapefruit spoon in the other to dig into the top of the pepper's insides, and scrape it against the inside wall all the way down.

And you have a cleaned-out pepper! Ready to chop, bake, or fill with yummy cheese, wrap in bacon and roast! (Hungry yet?)

This is so much faster and cleaner than using a knife, a regular spoon, gloved fingers, etc!  If you don't wear gloves, still be vigilant about not touching the seeds and flesh on the inside of the pepper. It will burn your skin. I absentmindedly used my fingertips on my left hand to wipe some stray seeds into the garbage. And they BURNED later. If you make that mistake, here is your solution:

I held sour cream on there for about 10 minutes, and it provided immediate and lasting relief!
