Reheating rice or pasta in a microwave???? Cover with a damp paper towel to keep it moist.


Ground chicken and ground turkey are much stickier than ground beef. Flour you hands first - before shaping into meatballs or patties.


Remove all that citrus zest from your grated by going over it with a pastry brush.


Allergic to nuts???? Substitute crispy rice cereal in your cookie or brownie recipes and you will still have that "crunch".

Keep honey in a warm place - like in a cabinet near the stove. Cold storage will make it crystallize.
