Apple Pie Glaze

To add a little special touch to apple pie, glaze the top crust. Simply mix some powdered sugar and water to make a thick glaze and coat the crust with it as soon as the pie comes out of the oven. As the pie cools the glaze will harden and add a delightful sweetness to your yummy pie.

Save it for a Rainy Day

Make a batch of cookies, some brownies or a cake and put it in the freezer. Next time you're having a bad day or it's been "One of Those Days" with the kids, pull it out, defrost and serve on china plates (if age appropriate.)
Sweets can't heal all our ills, but they sure can help turn a bad day around.

P.S. In order for this to work you need to make the goodies sometime when the kids are napping, after bedtime or while they're at soccer practice. If they know that something yummy is in the freezer they will be asking for it (in more ways than one.)
