RE-USING 1 LITRE UHT CARTONS
We re-use the 1 litre UHT cartons to make ice packs for the Esky. They can be re-used over and over, stack neatly and can eventually be recycled for 10 cents a carton. Guinea Pigs also like to sit on ice blocks to keep cool in very hot weather, so wrap one in an old clean cloth, place in their hutch, happy and cool cavies.

MOO CREAMED CORN
Our family loves home made chicken and sweetcorn soup. The recipe uses canned creamed corn but have you looked at the list of ingredients and seen how little corn it seems to contain. So MOO it. Drain a can of corn kernels. Blitz briefly in a blender (you want some decent sized pieces of corn) place in a saucepan and add I tablespoon of cornflour and one and a half cups of milk or stock or a combination. Heat until thickened then proceed with your soup recipe. Saves about $1 a batch, tastes delicious and you know what’s in it.

MOO PET FOOD POUCHES
We buy the 700g tins of cat food for our cat but to keep it fresh it is divided into 7 snack size ziplock bags.100g in each. each bag is rolled up and put in the freezer. To serve i sit a bag in warm water for about 10 minutes. Once empty the bag can be washed and reused. It is a good idea to label the bags.
