Cooking Tips from Lisa

Peel a banana from the bottom and you won't have to pick the little "stringy things" off of it.

Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store.  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.

Peppers with three bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better eating.  Peppers with four bumps on the bottom 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.

Enjoy!
