Carrots and celery wilt away in the veggie drawer if not eaten in a few days, how sad! I tend to go through 'phases' where I want veggies for awhile, and then they get shoved behind a delicious PIE, where they die a quiet death. With this tip they get a second chance, and so do I!

A container in the counter in the kitchen.
Product Review: Tupperware Fridgesmart ContainersThese containers keep food fresh longer. They have ridged bottoms to collect any moisture. In addition, they have two vents. Depending upon the food being stored, one, both, or neither will be in the open position.

egg slicer on a plate with sliced olives
Use Egg Slicer To Slice OlivesOn French bread toast, I spread a liberal amount of neufchatel cheese that has been allowed to come to room temperature. Atop the cheese, I spread a layer of sliced, ripe olives. That's it! Simple, but very good, especially if eaten while the toast is still warm.

grinding spice into jar lid
Using Spice Grinders with Hot FoodSteam can cause a spice grinder to become blocked over time. It is therefore a good idea, especially with salt, to grind your seasonings straight into the lid and then sprinkle it from your fingers rather than hold the grinder over the steamy hot cooking food.

Mason Jar Layered Banana Pudding
Mason Jar Layered Banana PuddingOn a kitchen counter arrange an assembly line of bowls of vanilla wafers, vanilla pudding, and thinly sliced bananas. The last component will be whipped cream. Begin by putting a teaspoon of pudding into the bottom of the jar. Break up a vanilla wafer for the next layer, and then add pieces of banana. Layer until you reach almost the top of the jar. Then add whipped cream and a slice of banana. Put the lid on the jar and store in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

Make Your Fruit Crumble Perfect
Make Your Fruit Crumble PerfectThe crumb mix on a fruit crumble can so easily turn soggy where it touches the fruit. To prevent this, cook the crumb mixture separately by spreading it out on a baking tray. When it has started to brown, sprinkle it on top of the stewed fruit then return the two together to the oven to keep hot until you are ready to eat it.

A scone with cream on one side and jelly on the other.
Adding Cream to SconesIf you spread jam or jelly on your scone, it is then quite difficult to add cream on top as it won't spread without the two getting mixed together. The remedy for this is to put the jam on one half and the cream on the other then sandwich them together.

Cubes of clarified butter.
Using And Storing Clarified ButterI don't cook a lot of fried foods but awhile back, I asked for suggestions for a cooking fat that had little or no scent while cooking. I got some responses, and I went with the suggestion that I try ghee or 'clarified butter'.
