Herbal Ice Cubes


This is another great tip that came across in my email. Thanks Richard!
Herbal Ice Cubes

To preserve fresh herbs freeze them in ice cube trays. Chop leaves of
your favorite herbs, pack into the trays, cover with water, and freeze.
Store cubes in plastic bags in the freezer and pop them into soups this
winter.

Lower-Fat Soup

Lower-Fat Soup

Love the convenience of canned soup, but not the added fat? Here's a way to enjoy canned soups guilt-free! Store cans of soup upside-down in the fridge. The fat in the soup will congeal and remain in the can, leaving you with a lower-fat quick soup to make!


This will only work with broth based soups. The fat will appear as white clumps.
