Homemade Crushed Ice

If you’re like me and don’t have a crushed ice maker, but refuse to splurge on a Nugget ice maker, than you’ll love this tip! I use a food processor to make crushed ice!

I know, it sounds crazy and yet so simple. I toss some ice cubes into the food processor and grind all the ice up. That’s it!

Cleaning Your Wooden Cutting Board

The amount of bacteria on a cutting board is disgusting. Cleaning your cutting board is so important. It’s very simple so grab that cutting board and let’s get it clean.

I use a lemon that’s cut in half and sea salt. You can also add on some baking soda too if you’d like. Just sprinkle baking soda and/or salt on the halved lemon and scrub the cutting board. Rinse it off with water and then let it air dry. You can also put some oil on it so it doesn’t dry it out.
