Add vegetables like
cooked peas and carrots in your pasta salad for extra flavor.
Keeping greens fresh
Don’t wash greens until you’re
ready to use them. They will droop faster after being washed
Storing mushrooms
Use paper bags to store
unwashed mushrooms and place in your refrigerator's vegetable drawer.
They will stay fresh almost two times as long as those stored in plastic
bags.
:: Hot Appetizers ::
Peeling artichokes
Smack the artichoke face down
against a hard surface. This will spread the leaves, making the
artichoke easier to peel and reduce the cooking time.
Keeping them warm
To keep appetizers piping hot,
try serving them straight out of the cooking or warming dish.
