Kitchen Tips – Making Cooking Easier!

Published: Nov 22, 2012 by Felicia Lim · This post may contain affiliate links

Sometimes the most obvious questions are what needs to be answered.

Of course, I’m referring to questions that arise in the kitchen, when you are rushing to prepare a meal, desperately chopping the seemingly endless list of ingredients, or when you’ve got a brain freeze and can’t think of what kind of healthy foods to incorporate into a meal.

Or perhaps you could never quite understand what a “negative calorie vegetable” really is all about, or why eating bananas with spots can help you prevent cancer.

Maybe you’re a health-conscious person wondering how to fit healthy meals into your menu.

Why should I steam my food?
Why is baking healthier than deep-frying?
What are the benefits of green tea?
How do I incorporate onions & garlic in my meals?

Or perhaps, all your really want to know has nothing to do with health.

How do I cut an onion without crying?
How do I cook garlic without smelling like it?
Where can I store the extra spaghetti pasta?

Or you may wonder about the how to make the most of your dollar in the kitchen.

How do you stretch your dollar with food in the fridge?
What can you do with leftover food so it doesn’t go to waste?

And…sometimes we just want to know the answers to frivolous questions!

How do I cook all I want, without getting fat?
