Cooking With Chris

Something different this time, my Mother sent this to me, sounds reasonable.


DID YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU?

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 they stay fresher.
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!

Pick peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom that they are sweeter and better for eating.

Pick peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom they 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.

Add a couple spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream to eggs to be scrambled and then beat them up, they will be very rich and creamy.

Add garlic immediately to a recipe it will have a light taste of garlic and if you at it at the end of the recipe you will have a stronger taste of garlic.

Buy a container of cake frosting from the store and whip it with your mixer for a few minutes you can double it in size. You will frost more cake/cupcakes with the same amount and you will also eat less sugar and calories per serving.

Want to warm or reheat biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were refrigerated, place them in a microwave and reheat with a cup of water. The increased moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.

Bon Appetit!
