Some Good Cooking Tips


Did You Know?

-- Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little "stringy things" off of it. That's how the primates do it.

-- Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.

-- Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!

-- Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for cooking.

-- Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.

-- To really make scrambled eggs or omelets rich add a couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream and then beat them.

-- For a cool brownie treat, make brownies as directed. Melt Andes mints in double broiler and pour over warm brownies. Let set for a wonderful minty frosting.

-- Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste of garlic and at the end of the recipe if you want a stronger taste of garlic.

-- Leftover Snickers bars from Halloween make a delicious dessert. Simply chop them up with the food chopper. Peel, core and slice a few apples. Place them in a baking dish and sprinkle the chopped candy bars over the apples. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes!!! Serve alone or with vanilla ice cream.

That last recipe sounds good to me. Maybe you can do that with some of the chocolate.
