TIP: Keeping Fresh

Any time that I want to keep a sauce or dip fresh in the fridge, I use plastic wrap.  The trick is to press the wrap into the sauce, not just over the top of the bowl, to minimize the oxidation.  I kept the Salsa Verde above in my fridge for four days before I took that picture.  Everything is still green, including the avocado chunks.

TIP: Seeding a Tomato

Anytime a recipe calls for a seeded tomato, just remember to cut it across the equator, then use a finger to scoop out the seeds from each pocket.  I usually hold the tomato over the sink while I'm scooping.

TIP: Taco Shells

Hang your taco shells from the top rack of your oven when you heat them up.  One less pan to clean!
