Save your veggies and blanch them.
Vegetables are going to be a hard sell for young eaters but adults can appreciate a plate of nutrition rich greens. Do better than serve your house guests fried veggies and instead opt to blanch them. To blanch your veggies you will want to boil them in water for about a minute. After boiling them immediately put the vegetables in an ice bath. Doing so will shock the veggies into staying firm. Boiling the veggies only briefly will help to retain the majority of the nutrients that you need from the vegetables. It’s a little bit of work but oh so worth the pay off.

Save your leftover baked goods.
We love baking because we love eating great baked goods. There is just nothing better than having a piping hot plate of chocolate cookies on the counter and knowing you will have some for later. Yet inevitably they will get stale if you don’t eat them in time. We do have a little trick you can use to keep your baked goods nice and fresh for a little while longer. All you need is a piece of bread and a Tupperware container. Store your cookies in the container like you normally would and then add a slice of bread in it as well before sealing them up. The bread itself will give up the moisture it has and the cookies will suck it up, thus keeping your treats ready for a couple more days of soft, juicy flavor.
