Food Hacks

Today I was looking at the bananas in the freezer and remembered my mom putting a bunch straight in the freezer no peeling it at all.  That got me to thinking about things my mom and grandparents did.  So, I thought I would share some of those tips. I am sure I have shared tips with you before so there might be a repeat or two!

Bananas- they can be put in the fridge unpeeled, but I find it easier to peel them and store in a Ziploc baggie.  We use them for everything from smoothies to bread.  Also, if you use the stem as a handle and peel from the bottom, you will get less strings.

Sugars- if you have brown sugar and it is clumping or hardening, throw in a marshmallow!  Throw a saltine cracker in with your white sugar and it helps with clumping and moisture.

Cookies- to keep your cookies soft store them in a sealed container with a piece of bread.

Bread/muffins-if you make homemade bread and muffins, store them in the fridge they will last longer and not mold as quickly. 

Vegetables- after you have washed and drained your vegetable, if you are cutting it into serving pieces store it in a sealed container or Ziploc baggie with paper towels.  Don't forget to change the paper towels if they are wet.

Lemons- squeeze lemons with tongs to get as much of the juice out as you can.

I hope some of those help!  Sorry I am late today, our internet is spotty as the tower was hit by lightening and they are still trying to fix it.  I'm going to truly go insane if I don't get internet soon!
