Avoid Fruits And Veggies Darkening

In the past when I would prepare a banana pie, I would always dip the bananas in lemon juice to avoid browning before I would place them on the pie. This allowed my banana pie to last a good five days before the bananas change their color. Recently, my friend Diane from God’s Saving Health Ministry introduced another way just in case you’re out of lemon juice. Since lemon juice acts as a preservative when coating fruits and vegetables. She recommends you crush 2 vitamin C tablets in a small bowl of water and then coat your fruit or veggies with the vitamin c and water solution. This will avoid darkening.

Tomato Juice Substitution

Although I love to cook, and I am always experimenting, I have yet run into a situation where I need tomato juice. However, friends tell me the horror story of making a recipe that causes for tomato juice only to find out in the middle of adding the ingredients they have none. So, I have been told if you run out of tomato juice and you need a quick substitution. Quickly mix ½ cup of Ketchup with ½ c of Water. That should hold you over.

Next time you’re in the kitchen cutting up raw onions and the eyes become itchy and burning with tears. Try a simple change by taking the onion and cut it up under cold running water or put the onion in the freezer before cutting it up to avoid another crying spell.

How To Fix A Burnt Pot

Have you ever been cooking and burn your food in the pot or pan?

Here is a tip! Allow the pot or pan to cool first. Then try to remove as much of the burnt food from the bottom of the pot. Carefully fill it with hot water and add a capful of liquid fabric softener and let it sit for several hours. After, it should be easier to remove the burnt food.
