Taco Bowl
This takes about 20 mins to put together. Put shredded lettuce in sandwich bags to keep it fresh. Just make sure your taco meat is completely cooled before you put everything together. YUM!

GLASS COOKTOP CLEANER - Tested, works great!

Hydrogen Peroxide
Baking Soda
Rag or Sponge

In a small bowl mix baking soda with enough hydrogen peroxide to make a paste.
Work paste around in a circle, concentrating on soiled areas.
Baking soda absorbs grease and hydrogen peroxide will help to lift the residue.
Gather up your baking soda in a pile and dispose.
Wet a cloth with water to remove any remaining baking soda.
Buff with a dry rag.
