Cooking & Important Tips from me: I've found that if you freeze cuts of meats for 15-20 minutes, they slice more easily with your knife; if your brown sugar has hardened-place for a few seconds in the microwave; if you are using dried herbs instead of fresh, crush them between your finger and thumb to help release the flavor; if a recipe calls for brown sugar-pack it down with a spoon in your measuring cup to get the correct amount; when going to the supermarket, shop with a list and avoid going when you are hungry. This prevents overbuying on items you normally wouldn't buy, since you're hungry; stock up on short cut items such as rice, frozen meatballs or frozen fruit; also, I cut up onions and put them in freezer bags & freeze, it's always handy when you need chopped onions in a dish. I hope some of these tips you find useful. Enjoy & Blessings.
