Freezing Pesto in Ice Cube Trays
If the egg goes bad, it will float in the bowl of water instead of sinking.
To avoid blunting the knife, turn it over before scraping anything off the cutting board.
Use an ice cube tray to freeze small amounts of pesto, broth, applesauce, and pizza sauce. Transfer the cubes to a ziplock bag or other freezer-safe container so you can easily extract the exact amount you need.
PLU codes for organic products start at 9 and consist of 5 digits (normal products only have 4 digits).
To peel and mince the garlic, first crush the cloves with the flat side of a knife or the handle of a knife.
Roll a lemon or lime between the countertop and the palm of your hand to make it easier to squeeze.
To make a standard grilled cheese sandwich, sprinkle freshly grated Palmezan cheese on the outside of the bread and flip it over in a pan so that the cheese sticks to the bread.
When measuring both butter/butter and honey, put the butter or butter in the measuring cup first and the honey will drain out.
To store home-made croutons, toppings, or slices of bread, place a loaf or slice of bread (if your child's bread is cut into Christmas shapes) in a large freezer bag.
Remove seeds from pepper, reduce heat and season with pepper. (This tip belongs to my husband..I rarely eat chilli!)
Amanda: Disassemble the grenade in a bowl of water! The seed sinks and the meat floats
Haley: Don't keep tomatoes in the refrigerator
Alzbeta: Rub your hands on a stainless steel (I usually use a kitchen faucet) to get rid of the garlic smell. A quick wipe helps.
Laura: Soak the apple slices in cold water and salt to prevent them from turning black.
Kelly: Spoon the ginger! Shaving the skin is much easier than cutting it with a knife.
Vanessa: Don't put lemon and milk in your tea. It will harden.
Jessica: Keeping onions in the refrigerator or soaking them in cold water can help with dry eyes.
Marsha: When you bring it home, organize and prepare as much food as possible. This makes it much easier to prepare lunch or dinner after a long day at work.
Roy: Don't keep apples and bananas side by side. Apples release gases that make bananas ripen (and become softer) much faster!
Julie: Gently slide the blade into the avocado pit to remove it. Then remove the meat with the spawn.
Gen: Don't keep potatoes and onions together. Otherwise, the potatoes will dent.
Melissa: When you get home, cut the bananas when they are ripe. Slows down aging and does not turn brown.
Missy: If your house smells like onions or garlic, put 1/2" of water, 1/2" of white vinegar, and cinnamon sticks in a saucepan and bring to a boil to neutralize the smell in a few minutes.
Monastery: Soaking the berries in vinegar for a while will kill mold spores and keep the berries fresh longer.
Liz: After a few years of peeling, I finally decided to keep the peels of organic citrus fruits (oranges, limes, lemons) and store them in the freezer for later.
Sarah: Soak the berries in flour before baking muffins or bread to make them more evenly distributed.
Jasmine: To peel hard-boiled eggs, crack the eggs, roll them in the palm of your hand, and use a spoon under your skin to peel them. Usually they are all deleted at once.
Jessica: If you buy spinach in a plastic container, keep it refrigerated daily to prevent the leaves from withering.
Elizabeth: Apples with pineapple, orange or citrus juice prevent browning. We always like the sweeter red apple and pineapple or lime juice with more acidic orange juice varieties. yum!
