Cooking Tips

* When a recipe calls for adding oil, garlic, and onions to a pan,
always add garlic last. This keeps it from burning and tasting
bitter.

* Make your own celery flakes. Just cut and wash the leaves from the
celery stalks; place them in the oven on low heat or in the hot
sun until thoroughly dry. Crumble and store in an air-tight
container.

* Put sliced cucumbers, onions, carrots and/or pieces of cauliflower
in leftover pickle juice and in a couple of days they will be
pickled.

* Don't discard the water in which the vegetables are soaked or
cooked. It is more flavorful than plain water so use it in making
soup or gravy.

* If you are baking and out of eggs, substitute 1/4 cup applesauce
for 1 egg.
