Fresh Lettuce
Great money-saving tip for long term storage of fresh lettuce. Dena: I have always done this, I learned this trick from my mom. She would have a huge tupperware container and wrap it in paper towels and press down on the top as she closed it to get the most air out of it. Most have lasted a month or more!
Blanching & Freezing Carrots
Frozen carrots are the best when you are making stew or chicken noodle soup. I just love how you stuff them in the microwave for 3 minutes and they are warm again. Also, you can just throw it into the soup and they heat up pretty fast. It is truly the best if you grow them from your own backyard
