Creating Coffee a cup above the rest

When preparing your coffee process, if you put a dash of salt into the fresh grounds, your fresh brewed coffee will be less bitter...or you may use a fresh egg shell...you will get the same effect.

Keep the Cheese

I like to buy my cheeses in blocks and grate it myself. Sometimes the containers I used were wet on the inside of the lid and therefore getting my cheese wet & resulting in molding before it's time. I fold a Scott Towel and lay it in the container and it keeps it from from the moisture so my cheese last so much longer! I love your towels.

When using avocados for guacamole, put the seed in with the batch and the guacamole will not turn brown.

Compost In Your Freezer!

Folks, I have the healthy and money saving tip for your herb and produce rubbish. Take those onion skins and veggie peels, all your ends that don’t fit. Freeze them all together until you have a gallon sized plastic bag full then drop them all into a large pot of water and simmer with your favorite herbs and spices. After you have cooked the flavor and nutrients out of those pieces you thought were trash, cool drain and toss the pulp in your garbage disposal, compost or trash. Now you have the perfect broth for your next soup, that water you needed for boiling noodles or potatoes in or even just a little added flavor for a dish without spending the cash on store bought flavors that have more chemicals than nutrients. And WOW the flavor!!!!!!

Soda Substitute

We never drink soda at home (unless someone brings it to our parties). We use a 1:1 ratio of plain or flavored seltzer and fruit juice - ex. 1/2 cup cranberry juice with cherry or raspberry flavored seltzer. We'll also buy mango nectar, which is usually too sweet for our taste and cut it with an equal amount of water. We get half the sugar in every serving cup.

Eating Healthy Bacon

I use Scott® paper towels under my turkey bacon, when I cook it in the microwave. All turkey grease is absorbed.

Baking Soda

I soak my fruits and vegetables in a bowl of cold water with 1-2 tbsp of baking soda and leave produce soaking for 10-15 minutes and then just rinse. Baking soda is not harmful and takes the pesticides off the fruits and veggies.
