Let’s face it—dishwashers have arguably become one of the most important kitchen appliances that most of us can’t live without. And for good reason, since they make cleaning up after any meal or cooking situation a breeze. However, it can still be tedious and time-consuming to dry a full rack of dishes if they’re still wet after a wash cycle in the dishwasher.
Luckily, influencer Barbara Costello, aka the cleaning hack lifesaver whose TikTok handle is @brunchwithbabs, has graced us with a video that will save dishwasher owners tons of time. This time, Babs—who calls herself Grandma Babs—teaches viewers how to skip hand-drying wet dishes from the dishwasher using this hack.

There is something about fall in the Midwest. The minute the leaves start to turn, a slight chill returns to the air, and football fills our televisions, I start getting in the mood for fall food.
Although we have had a relatively warm start to autumn this year (not a complaint heard hear!), the first day of fall was crisp and cool, and in our house that means one thing – chili! Making chili during the fall season isn’t particularly novel, but there is one chili recipe I have made since my husband and I started dating well over a decade ago, and it has become our chili recipe.
