Helpful Food Tips

My dear friend, Myrtle sent me some wonderful food tips that I thought I'd try out.  This is forwarded mail and I hope it's OK to reproduce it here.



We rarely grate cheese anymore, but I'll have to remember this if I ever feel like using Parmesan again.

I know a few people who love to make guacamole.  I've encountered browning of the avocado so it's nice to know this trick to keep it green and appetizing.

I've done this and it really has kept the herbs fresher.  I do almost the same thing with asparagus but I don't use the rubber bands.  I put them in a little cup of water.

More ideas tomorrow.

    I wrap my herbs and stuff with a paper towel and it works really well too!

    These are good tips. With prices of food the way they are now, who wants to waste?

    Great tips, Kay! I really like the herb technique and will try it with some of mine from the garden. :-)

    you can also cut off the ends of greens and soak them in lukewarm water for a few minutes. It will perk them back up and prevent their aging for a time.

      I do this all the time with wilted lettuce and it works great.

    Didn't know about the butter for the cheese. Amazing. Learning new things at my age.

    Good tips! I usually place lemon juice on my guacamole then some plastic wrap on it, but I’ll try the oil.

    Or put those herbs in a cup of water on a refrigerator shelf. :)
