Helpful Tips in the Kitchen!
- Before making popcorn on the stove or in an air popper, soak the kernels in water for 10 minutes. Drain the water, then pop as normal. The additional moisture helps the popcorn pop up quicker and fluffier with fewer “old maids.”
- After boiling pasta or potatoes, cool the water and use it to water your house plants. The water contains nutrients that your plants will love.
- A favorite tip of thousands of grandmas: when you nick your finger while cutting veggies, wait until the bleeding stops and paint on a layer of clear nail polish. It will keep juices out of the wound and won’t fall off into the spaghetti sauce like a bandage.
- If your loaf of bread is starting to go stale, just put a piece of fresh celery in the bag and close it back up. For some reason, this restores a fresh taste and texture to the bread.
- When making a soup, sauce, or casserole that ends up too fatty or greasy, drop in an ice cube. The ice will attract the fat, which you can then scoop out.
Sandwiches!
Day 17 - Favourite Sandwich
toasted tomato. no questions asked, i love a good toasted tomato with turkey or chicken. my perfect sandwich consists of…
toast
lettuce
shaved turkey breast
cheese
2 slices of thick tomatoes
.. sometimes i’ll just toast the bread and add the rest after, or sometimes i’ll make the sandwich and broil it in the oven!
either way they’re deliciousssss!

Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner?
Day 6 of Food Challenge
BREAKFAST. Easy question. I love me some breakfast and could it all day, and often I do. I go many days just eating cereals, fruits, oatmeals, veggies, breads, all the good breakfast foods! On weekends it’s not abnormal for my breakfast to last a whole four hours. Crazy.. I know. :)
