Ok.. Another Tuesday Tips for you guys!! Since I went to the market today.. these tips are grocery tips for the most part!

Does water on top of the cottage cheese gross you out? Super easy fix.. Store the cottage cheese upside down in your frig and it doesn't get all that water on top!

For the same thing regarding sour cream.. just take the spoon after you get a dollop, and then flatten it out evenly before you put it back in the frig. and you won't have the issue of a watery sour cream!

I know I posted this already but just in case you didn't know.. If you have a problem with bananas riping on too fast, just tear them apart.. and they ripen slower!

Did you know that 3 bumps on the bottom of a bell pepper means its sweeter for eating. One with 4 bumps means its more firm for cooking.

When picking apples, make sure you choose apples that are not only bright, crisp and bruise-free in appearance, but are also firm to the touch. Once home from the store, apples should be kept cool and stored in the refrigerator.

Apply gentle pressure to the avocado; a ripe avocado should yield slightly to that pressure. The avocado may range in color from light green to almost black. Avocados should generally be used within 2-5 days and can be stored at room temperature.


To make leafy veggies crunchy agian.. Cut the stem off and separate the stalks. Add 3/4 cup granulated sugar to a vessle filled with cold water. Now place vegetables in it. Soak for 4 to 5 hours. Drain well and refrigerate.

To avoid crying when peeling an onion just peel onions under water to avoid "crying". Another option is to refrigerate onions before cutting.
