4. Floss regularly. Use dental floss to cut soft breads, doughs, and cheese – it allows you to cut without flattening your food.

5. Bake an egg. Do ‘hard-boiled’ the Alton Brown way! Bake in the oven at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. Baking reduces the sulphor smell and the final result is creamier eggs.

  1. I’ll have to let my mother know about the cellophane around banana stems. She’s always complaining that her bananas ripen too fast.
    I use salsa as salad dressing. It’s low in calories and gives the salad a great spicy flavor.
    Happy Weekend!
