Read MoreDo you ever have leftover stock or broth in the back of your fridge? Don’t know what to do with it? Now you can freeze it! Place into ice cube trays, muffin tins (preferably silicone), or even small zip lock bags. The silicone makes ingredients come out much easier. Label the bags or trays so you know which kind of broth(s) there is. Once the broth or stock is frozen, pop them out of the trays or tins and keep in a gallon bag.

Read MoreWhat is better than free (or multi-use)?! One of my favorite ingredients is citrus for the zest, juice, and flavor capabilities. First the outside, the rind has so much strong, great flavor plus oils from the citrus. The next layer is the juice of the citrus to use for drinking, adding to water, or using as dressings for salads and proteins. The third part is the pulp which can be blended into smoothies, to flavor water or beverages, or used to cook with proteins. Lastly, the rind can be used for garnishing a dish or infusing flavor. Use a normal vegetable peeler to cut strips from the citrus to “decorate” or garnish a dish.

Plus this keeps people’s hands out of the ENTIRE bowl of snacks, keeps everything cleanlier during Covid times. All the snacks items can be pre-portioned, guests can walk around with the paper cups, and choose their own snacks.
