We can’t talk about tips and great ideas without mentioning these multi-use cooking and storage tips!

  • When it comes to baking be sure to measure flour following these easy tips.
  • Take a quick moment and write the date on your soon-to-be-frozen items.
  • Out of fresh herbs? Learn how to store herbs and freeze them for future use, or substitute fresh herbs for dried.

  • Thicken a soup or sauce by making a ‘slurry‘ and slowly stirring into a simmering stock or sauce.

Even if you don’t know everything, follow these tips and you can’t fail: you got this!
