Earthly Eating tips
When it comes to getting around the kitchen, quick tips to keep in mind are always helpful, especially if you have a large family or you are cooking for a large group. Here are some Earthly Eating tips that can help you keep the ciaos down in the kitchen everyday.
1. Handy pair of scissors: Whether you have a pair of scissors for cutting hair or cutting fabric, it’s a good idea to keep a pair on hand when you are prepping meals. It can cut down on food preparation time and can help cut through other foods such as pizza, quesadillas, snipping fresh herbs and even cutting up tomatoes and other veggies for quick meals. Keep them in the kitchen though and don’t use them for other cutting means. Be sure and wash them thoroughly after each use.
2. Use your leftovers: Whether you had meatloaf or nachos the night or day before, try to use them in another recipe throughout the week so no food goes to waste. You can do a quick search of the Earthly Eating website to find other ways of using leftovers in new dishes for your family.
3. Keep your kitchen tools handy: If you are cooking up a huge meal and you are thumbing through drawers to find what you need that just isn’t practical, especially if you have been handling raw meats. Keep what you use daily on the counter in a holder or in a nearby drawer with just though in there. When you are organized your kitchen and cooking will show.
