Helpful little tips

When making a salad use a wood, ceramic or china bowl. Never use metal as things will get yucky from the acid in the dressing.

NEVER use a metal knife to cut lettuce for a salad...it turns brown. Tear it up. Tell them its RUSTIC lol or invest in a plastic knife made just for lettuce.

NEVER store your tomatoes or mangos in the fridge. They do not belong there. Have you ever bought a mango and it was brown inside? they put them in the walk-in and they got cold. a big NO NO

Don't throw away your bread ends or your slices if they get hard. toss them in the freezer. When you need bread crumbs grind em up. you can toss in a pan with a little butter to brown them and top off that mac n cheese. Or use your old bread to make Bread pudding. You can make bread pudding with just about anything OLD. Bread, donuts, french  bread...anything. Probably even an old shoe lol

Left over onion and you won't use before it will go bad. dice it up and toss it in a baggie and the freezer. You can use them in anything you are cooking.

Red and Green peppers on sale? Buy em up...slice them up put in baggie in freezer. Great for soups casseroles, eggs etc.

Cheese on sale? If you are going to cook with it, you can freeze it. Do NOT think you are gonna freeze it and eat it on a sandwich cuz you are not. The texture changes but it will still melt.

Left over Chicken stock. Pour it in ice cube trays freeze and toss in a baggie. I should get a kick back from the baggie people lol

Putting away HOT food. Martha Stewart says just cool for a bit before placing in fridge. DO NOT seal the lid on the container leave it sit loose or not at all. when cooled then you can cover

Extracts...ever open a bottle that was empty and you knew you didn't put it away like that? The heat here will cause them to evaporate. I was told by someone who owned a spice store to keep them in the fridge.

Well I hope some of these little tips were helpful.
Enjoy!
