Another Great Tip

Another great tip for moms out there who wants to make cooking a breeze.

BROCCOLI
What can you do with the stem part of the broccoli? Don’t throw it away. Instead, peel of the thick skin, then when making your next tossed salad, cut the stems in thin slices, crosswise like a cucumber into it. Broccoli stems have a good and different taste, and not may people will recognize it.

SPAGHETTI SAUCE
Make spaghetti sauce from scratch, doubling ingredients, including the chopped meat. Your sauce could be use for spaghetti, pot roast, beans and other dishes that call for sauce.

CUT FAT
Don’t coat the vegetable with oil or butter to add flavor. A better idea: sprinkle steamed or lightly sautéed vegetable with lemon, lime or orange zest immediately after cooking (1 teaspoon per 1 pound vegetables); toss and season to taste with salt and pepper, fresh basil or tarragon; minced garlic too if you like.
