Did you know?

  • Peel your banana from the bottom so you don’t have to pick the “stringy things” off of it.
  • Take your bananas apart after you buy them so they don’t ripen too quickly.
  • Peppers with three bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with four bumps are firmer and better for cooking.
  • For a mild garlic flavor, add it when you begin cooking. If you want a stronger taste, add the garlic at the end of the recipe.
  • Store opened packages of cheese in aluminum foil to make them last longer.
  • Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef to pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.
  • Microwaving leftover pizza makes it soggy. Reheat pizza in a skillet over medium-low heat to keep the crust crispy.
  • Use your mixer to whip some store-bought cake frosting. The frosting will nearly double in size so you can frost more cake — and you’ll have fewer sugar and calories per serving.
  • To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave with a cup of water.The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.
