For the love of all that is sacred, ALWAYS toss your pasta in its sauce before serving!
Hesperides Organica Coop
Cook your pasta to "al dente," remove from boiling water and throw directly into sauce. Keep sauce on simmer and toss your pasta, marrying the two heavenly ingredients. It will continue to slightly...
Store nuts in the freezer!
Their high fat content causes them to spoil easily, and freezing them keeps them fresh. Just use/eat them straight out of the freezer! #kitchentips

JenniferEmilson I keep all nuts as well as certain flours in the freezer- makes such a difference!!
-
annefood Agreed!!
Add some zip to your vinaigrette with spices!
I used ground cumin in this shallot vinaigrette with lemon juice, white wine vinegar and mustard. It's a great way to add more flavor to a simple green salad. #kitchentips

tinabeans Brilliant! Cumin goes well with anything :P
Learning how to poach eggs! Anyone have tips?
Made a speedy breakfast with @akhilg2002 of mushrooms topped with poached eggs and homegrown basil (yes the basil is still alive!). Not perfect, but these eggs turned out better than before. I trie...
-
JenniferEmilson Yes- while you are waiting for your water to boil, and then drop to a moderate summer, crack your egg onto a small sieve (like you light use for tea) set over a cup. Let it drain all the loose bits...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Oh wow I was stirring like crazy! I'll try this next time. Thanks!
-
marynfulton2 Add a little vinegar to your water! It helps the egg stay together as well 😊
Make sure your fridge isn't overpacked to ensure your food stays cold.
An overfilled fridge prevents air from circulating properly. It's the perfect excuse to use all of the goodies that might be hiding in the back! #nofoodwaste #kitchentips

unconventionalbaker Good tip! I once had to call in a technician because my fridge was leaking, and the problem was just that it was so packed some things were blocking a vent :s so I can vouch for this one 👍🏻
-
annefood Oh no @unconventionalbaker ! Glad it was an easy fix!!
This changes everything.

Gwendolyn That makes so much sense! They say the most potent onions actually have more cancer-fighting properties, so I'm glad to know of a solution for the tearful chop!
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Stellar #kitchentip! I also heard if you leave the faucet running while chopping onions, your eyes won't tear. This may be an old wive's tale, but it seems to work for me. Anyone have other tips...
-
jodavis @rachna I love that one. I've tried chewing gum but I still cry! Would love to know others.
Love hard boiled eggs, but have a hard time taking the shell off. Any good tricks to share with me?
-
sugardetoxme Don't use fresh ones (unfortunately) and shock with cold water right after boiling.
-
sugardetoxme Also putting eggs in a closed Tupperware and shaking vigorously to shatter the shell works

lauren I was told salt will do the trick!
How to Cook with Pineapple Peels and Cores

After composting so much pineapple the other week, this seems like a great idea! #kitchentips
-
Georegulus Awesome
-
Ricky Oh wow. Definitely going to try this. And could have used this two days ago. At the very least shouldn't have eaten an entire pineapple in one sitting.
-
lauren Oh I definitely would not have been able to... It was something a friend brought over as her dinner (?) but I'll pass the message along
Make things easier by wiping your measuring cup with oil before measuring sticky peanut butter or honey.
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Oh that is smart!
Fresh cilantro & avocado are two of my kitchen staples. What are some of yours?
-
akhilg2002 My wife is trying to get us to grow plants at home, so now our Basil plant is a source of extra seasoning on half of our home cooking!
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Ginger!! I put it in literally everything from soups, to tea, to fish. I don't have an ice cream maker but if I did, I'd probably make ginger ice cream too ;)
-
marynfulton2 Mmm two of my favorites. What would we do without spices and herbs?! They make life better 😊
-
DietID_TeamDietitians
