Specific defrosting

Unlike beef or chicken, you can't leave fish or pork on the counter to defrost during the day- to prevent risk of food-borne illnesses it is best to let them defrost in the refrigerator.

Eating right

The best way to avoid snacking is to not buy snacks.

Food Efficiency

One meal of meat takes five meals worth of grain to produce.

Cheddar cheese maintenance

Cheddar cheese becomes hard when exposed to air for too long. Be sure to seal it well.

Flushing cravings

A good way to keep your appetite in check is to swill water to get the previously-eaten food's taste out of your mouth. By removing the leftover taste you will be less inclined to have a second helping if you're not hungry.

PB&J "Bag"

A good way to prevent a messy PB&J is to cover both in-sides of the bread with peanut butter, spread to edge. Be sure to place the jelly in the middle of one side of bread without letting it reach the edge. This way, when the two slices are pressed together the peanut butter will seal the jelly inside.

Garlic blood

Garlic is absorbed into your blood so your breath (and sweat) will continue to smell like it even after the food is digested.

Lettuce Shelf-Life

A head of lettuce lasts longer than a bag of chopped lettuce.
