I was feeling pretty sick, but a fresh dinner using fingerling potatoes actually is pretty quick because they don't take as long to cook, and they are easier to cut when you aren't feeling so hot
Carrots have a slow respiration rate which means they have a long shelf life

Don't peel your carrots! You lose about 1/3 of the nutrients when you trim off the outer layers.

  • DietID_TeamDietitians i think people just need to learn how to smell milk - e.g. get to know their food a bit more.
  • annefood Yes this is so ridiculous. @unconventionalbaker @JenniferEmilson and I were talking about this last week, and I suggested that there either needs to be a federal regulation as this article...
  • JenniferEmilson Sell by dates and Best by dates are purely for the retailer's benefit. Common sense needs to be taught as well. I was intrigued by this conversation last week. And like @rachna said, Use your nose....

How to eat an Avocado seed

"I had no idea!"
Sauté chopped anchovies in the pan before starting a tomato sauce. They and saltiness and omega-3s.

And when the sauce is done you won't even know they're there! #kitchentips #tipoftheday
  • Riki Wow, what a strange but interesting idea !
    Keeping in mind that my husband hates anchovies, or at least, believes he does
    If in fact the anchovy flavor won t be apparent , May be it's worth a try 😅
  • annefood I would love to hear if he notices @Riki ! It's great in a tomato sauce with onions, olive oil and herbs. That might be the best way to sneak it in as those are stronger flavors. Only use 2 or 3...

Broth adds so much more flavor to grains than water does! I served fresh red snapper, green salad and tangy Meyer lemon salsa with the rich quinoa, and it balanced the dish perfectly. #kitchentips
  • JenniferEmilson Unless it's for breakfast I try to cook all grains in broth. My mom taught me that one!! You're right, it ups the depth and creaminess of grains, whether rice, quinoa, buckwheat, millet, etc
  • annefood I've never cooked buckwheat @JenniferEmilson, only the flour! I should try that.
  • gingerandchorizo I agree with @JenniferEmilson! And I am just posting a new salad recipe here with roasted buckwheat which is also cooked in veggie broth :)

For delicious kale chips, just toss chopped kale with olive oil, sea salt and pepper, and roast at 350 for about 10 minutes, checking often. #kitchentips
Avocado kept fresh
8yr
I recently found an easy way to store half / part of an avocado from turning brown .
Simply cover it in plastic wrap ( in a nicely sealed air tight manner ) and place in the fridge.
  • DietID_TeamDietitians Yes! Also storing it with the pit and in lemon juice also works! #kitchentips
  • Yfalkson Pretty sure I heard the pit part is actually a myth. I think Kenji Lopez from The Foodlab tested it
  • DietID_TeamDietitians Really?! Oof I'll give it a try sans the lemon juice. I always use both and it seems to work, but a true scientist would say only test one variable at a time :)
