Do all that and open the fridge door once... instead of a dozen times.

Tried the celery tinfoil one. I seriously still have celery from 3 months ago. I found that trimming and cleaning the stalks works better than not.

We freeze whole lemon and limes for juicing and cocktails. Freeze coconut milk, cream. We always freeze leftovers for when you don't feel like cooking.

I don't need it to last longer, I just need someone to cook it all for me 😂

Freeze your ginger and turmeric, then use a microplane zester to grate it into your dish without peeling it. Melts right into your dish without it being chunky unless you want chunks.

This is great! I am curious to know the why behind these techniques. Not a critique, just curious "why a silver spoon would help a cucumber last longer in the fridge". Might be completely obvious to some but... 🤷‍♀️😊

I actually wash and reuse my plastic zip lock bags. I don’t want them at the land fill, if possible. Once I don’t use them for my food items, I will start to use them for around the house. Ie storing Lego, puzzle (because the box broke), toy/game pieces... etc. I also use them in the car for children clothing, so if we are on the road and they get dirty, I have clean clothes for them to change into. But I don’t know if it is safe to use the bags so much like that though, especially after using it for food? But so far, we have not had issues. The only time I throw them out is if there is a hole in them or if my kids rip it accidentally when they try to open the zipper, which does happen on occasion.
