“Meat was not meant to be loafed.”
Kevin Hogue
1
Peel garlic, cut the ends off and smash cloves under a large, flat bladed
knife to make it easier to chop. This process also releases more flavor
into your recipe.
2
Use a serrated knife to slice tomatoes, especially if your knives are not
sharp.
3
Some foods will freeze well after they’re made, and you can put half
a recipe away for using later. Lasagne can be frozen before or after it
is baked.
4
When you drain pasta, run cold water in the sink to counteract the steam.
5
Invest in a good cook book and read directions carefully. That’s the
way you learn.
6
Kevin says the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich is made by thinly
spreading peanut butter on both pieces of bread and then putting the jelly
on. This way the jelly won’t seep into the bread
7
When heating foods in the microwave, cover with a dampened paper towel instead
of plastic.

To add nutrition to meat loaf or chili, add a grated carrot. The carrot
will “disappear,” but the vitamins won’t.
