Don't you just hate household hints that don't really work? That's one of Cookie Queen Pat Condelli's pet peeves. You read about them in magazines or on the internet or you hear about them on TV and expect that they will give you the results promised. If only. Many of them are just a big waste of time. Over the years, the Queen has been testing household hints and writes about their success or failure every week in her internet newsletter, The Cookie Castle News. Now, the Cookie Queen has compiled the hints that actually work in one place--this book. The only household hints you will find here have been tested by the Queen herself. Not by her staff. She doesn't have a staff. And whoever heard of a book from the Cookie Queen without recipes? You'll find some of her favorite easy dishes in here, too.
