I wanted to share with you a trick that I use. Instead of spending a lot of time carefully slicing carrots I use a vegetable peeler. I use this tip to help save time…which is something we all need more of! I use the carrot shavings to put on top of salads and I use them instead of match stick carrots in fried rice and in stir fry.

Here’s a kitchen tip to help your wooden spoons last long! Do not wash in dishwasher. (wait, I have to wash them by hand?!) Wash with warm soapy water, pat dry. The Dishwasher will make them break down quicker. I never knew this. I bought a nice big fat wooden spoon recently and it already looks worn out and has a crack down the middle! Now I know better, don’t be lazy by throwing them in the dishwasher!
Want to season them? Wipe them with Olive Oil and bake them in the oven at 350!

This is seriously cool! I’ve done this a few times now and I’m kicking myself for not thinking of this sooner! I try to make a majority of our food from scratch. Sometime that take a lot of work, so anything that can make that easier I LOVE!
I like making my own french fries, I hate slicing the potatoes. Using a apple slicer works perfect. Just wash the potato first. Hold it up length wise and push the apple slicer straight down. It makes the perfect sized potato wedges.
The I normally toss them in oil, sprinkle them with garlic salt and cook them at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes or until reached desired crispiness!
YUM!!

How cute are these?! My amazing friend made these cupcakes for our last Bunco night! (Bunco is a dice game…mostly it’s just an excuse to have a girls night!) She made the dice using gum paste and then dabbed the dots on using melted chocolate and a toothpick. If you don’t want to mold gum pasts into cubes you can also buy sugar cubes. These were a huge hit!

The Super Bowl is this weekend…and that means lots of FOOD! One of my favorite football food is dips. I love cheese dip, hummus, bean dip and guacamole. The problem is if you don’t eat all the guacamole it goes brown quickly. And no one likes to eat brown guac!
Here’s a simple tip to keep it from turning brown. So even if your team isn’t a winner your leftovers will be!
Spray leftover guacamole with cooking spray or olive oil before putting it back in the fridge. The oil will keep the avocado green! Putting a little lemon juice in the guacamole will also help. Purchase this mister that I use.
Enjoy!

Don’t you just hate throwing away food because it’s gone bad! I feel like I’m just throwing money into the trash. Here’s a simple trick to keep your leafy veggies, broccoli and celery crisp for up to 4 weeks! Tightly wrap that in aluminium foil! That’s it! Told you it was simple!
