Clean Out The Fridge Before Garbage DayI always clean out food from the fridge every week on the day before trash day. That way, there is no rot smell in the house or rotting food in the fridge.
Eat Your Potatoes, Peelings and AllWhen I peel potatoes, I leave a small amount of the potato on the peeling and place the pieces in a bowl of cold water. I then drain them and pat dry. I place the peelings on a greased pan in a single layer.
Save Lids for LeftoversOver the years, I found I had more casserole lids than I had casserole dishes. I found an excellent use for them besides filling in for the odd pot lid. The smaller lids work great for covering a bowl or a plate of food when microwaving. I especially like it for microwaving my leftover oatmeal. Comes out like it is freshly made, same with rice or potatoes.
