"Spring Cleaning" For Your Car

FLUSHING, Mich - Okay, we know what you're thinking. Will Spring ever get here? Don't mention Spring, snow is still on the ground. When will winter finally end? We get it, it all seems like a distant dream at this point. HOWEVER, Spring is technically only a week away! So, let's clear our minds and look forward to the weather ahead. After this insane winter, it is guaranteed that your car is going to need a deep cleaning! Get your car ready for sunshine with these tips on "Spring Cleaning" For Your Car.

1. Especially after this Michigan winter, those windshield wipers have definitely taken a beating. It would be a good to have them replaced for Spring so that you have proper visibility. Of course, they can't do the job alone - so make sure your wiper fluid is full as well!

2. Keep that windshield extra clean by spraying it down with RainX. Believe us, it really does help give your windshield that crystal clear and streak-free look!

3. Clean off that salt and snow covered carpet! Using a carpet cleaner with a scrub brush on the end is the best way to get underneath all of that wintery mess!

4. Rinse off the undercarriage of your vehicle to prevent rusting. With all of that snow we had this winter, it is important to get any built up salt and dirt out from underneath your car. 

5. Get the dust off your dashboard. That's right, dust can still build up even if your windows have been closed all winter! Keep in mind that letting dust sit can cause aesthetic damage to the interior. 

6. Bring out the turtle wax! Not only will your car look like new, the wax will also help protect your paint from dirt and any of those upcoming April showers!

7. Go through your glovebox. Clear out all of the junk you crammed in there over winter and have a fresh start for Spring. Be careful, be sure your registration and proof of insurance stay put and are easy to get to!

Recipes That You'll Love For Game Time

FLUSHING, Mich. - WARNING: If you're hungry, we don't recommend scrolling down because we have a great selection of recipes that you'll love for game time! We know finger foods are the best snacks to have on hand when you, your friends and your family are engulfed in the game. That's why we've come up with a few delicious bites that will help you keep your hands free to cheer on your favorite team.

1. Buffalo Chicken Sliders. These buffalo chicken sliders are super easy to make, and the blue cheese slaw on top makes them absolutely out of this world! For these you'll need:

• 1/2 cup hot sauce
• 2 tbsp. butter
• 2 1/2 cups shredded cabbage and carrot mix
• 4 tbsp. blue cheese salad dressing
• 12 slider buns

Starting with the blue cheese slaw, you'll want to place the cabbage and carrot mix into a medium bowl and toss it with the blue cheese salad dressing. For the buffalo chicken, in a medium sauce pan add the butter and hot sauce. Cook over low heat until the butter has melted and then add the shredded chicken and cook until heated through. We recommend browning the buns however, if you decide you don't want to, just pile the buffalo chicken onto the bottom half of each slider, top with blue cheese slaw and enjoy!

2. Guacamole Bacon Deviled Eggs. Deviled eggs are always a big hit with guests, but this recipe becomes even more delicious with the addition of bacon! You'll need:

• 6 boiled eggs, peeled and cut in half

Scoop out the yolks and mash them in a bowl. Add the guacamole, bacon bits, mayo and lime juice to the yolks and mix well, adding the salt, pepper and cayenne pepper as needed. Place a tbsp. of the mixture back into the egg and serve garnished with extra bacon bits and chili powder. It's that easy!
