Bake Bacon
Instead of frying bacon on the stove, cover a cookie sheet with foil and cook it that way. You’ll still crispy bacon (more evenly cooked) and avoid the mess of splattered grease. If you’re trying to eat healthy, skip the bacon. Opt for some fresh asparagus, or even a green salad with blue cheese dressing.
Keep Herbs Fresh Longer
When you need to preserve an abundance of rosemary, basil, sage, thyme or oregano, all you need is an ice tray and a bottle of olive oil. By placing chopped herbs in the tray dividers and freezing in olive oil to make cubes, you create frozen flavorful gems that can be stored for up to six months. To use, simply remove one of the cubes, add it to a pot of boiling water and simmer for five minutes.Make Homemade Garlic Bread and Pesto Mix Homemade garlic bread is easy to make with this recipe. Garlic bread can be made in less than 10 minutes. Just lay out slices of french baguette on double thickness sheets on a baking sheet and top each slice with the pesto mixture before broiling for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
