Great tips!
Thank you for stopping by my blog. Princess in Calico is one of my very favorite books.
Blessings...
I like your new header! I usually keep my apples with the potatoes, but I found out the hard way that you shouldn't have onions near apples as it makes them sprout. It is kind of funny how that works.
Thank you for sharing these useful tips, Emily! :)
I always put my dough in the oven to rise; it definitely makes a difference :o)
Great tips!
Thank you Lydia. :) I'm actually in the process of making a new design, I like this one, but I think I like the new one that I am working on even better. :) I enjoy trying out new designs. I just wish I knew more about HTML codes.. [smile]
That is certainly interesting about apples causing onions to sprout! I will keep that in mind!
Happy New Year to you as well! May it be filled with HIS presence and blessings.
I love your tips, many of them I already use. So I can testify that they work. This is a great share!
In regards to the dough rising faster, in the winter when our fireplace is going I set my dough on the hearth and cover it as usual with a towel. The heat from the fireplace really helps it rise and it doesn't cost anything (no turning on the oven and using gas or electricity - depending on your oven use.)

We also have a fireplace that we use in Winter but I really never thought to use the heat to help my dough to rise. It sounds like a great idea! Thanks for sharing that with me! :)
