Instead of breading and frying those wonderful green tomatoes (which is a perfectly delicious way of enjoying them), cut off the outside meaty part leaving the skin on. Cut into bite sized pieces and sautee in extra virgin olive oil with onion pieces of about the same size. I like to cook this over a medium high heat until the tomatoes begin to brown. All you need is salt and pepper and a big glass of iced tea!

When making potato salad or any other type of food that need's to be mixed, slip on a pair of latex surgical type gloves and gently fold the dressing in without damaging the potatoes, tomatoes or any other ingredients you need to mix. Your hands never have to touch the ingredients, it's totally sanitary and it takes a fraction of the time to mix. If you are making anything else all you have to do is wash off the gloves and continue with your other kitchen preparations. When you are finished, just throw them away. Purchase gloves cheaply at any hardware or home center.

A squeeze bottle can be one of your best kitchen friends. Fill it with barbecue sauce or marinade for easy basting. Or on the sweet side, fill it with fruit coulis or chocolate syrup for easy dessert garnishing.

It's handy to carry a couple of cans of evaporated milk on camping trips when making pancakes or waffles or any other recipe that calls for milk. Mix half milk and half water to use as a milk substitute in recipes. Covered tightly it last longer in the fridge than regular milk.

To remove onion odor from hands, rub your hands over your stainless steel sink. I don't know how or why this works but it does. I use this method every time I cut up an onion.

For tender ribs on the barbeque grill I first make sure they have been cut apart (if they are beef ribs); for pork ribs I roll them up. Stand ribs up in a crock pot adding a little water so they don't stick to the bottom. Heat on high for several hours before throwing on the grill to finish cooking and soak up BBQ sauce. They come out super tender.

When making soup, after it's defatted, set aside a portion, add whatever spices, cook it down some then freeze it in ice cube trays. Keep the soup-cicles in a plastic bag and add a few to the pan when steaming vegetables.
