Another method for removing excess grease from the top of a soup is to drop a few ice cubes into the soup. The oil will cling to the ice, discard and enjoy the soup. You can also wrap your ice cubes in cheesecloth and use this to skim the oil from the top of a soup.

Make your own homemade TV dinners for the freezer using leftovers from dinner - the 3 section reusable plastic containers work well. A protein, vegetable & starch complete a healthy meal. If all 3 sections aren't full, wait for leftovers from another meal to complete the frozen dinner container. To create a delicious "new" dinner, pop frozen sections out onto a dinner plate and reheat in the microwave. NEVER reheat in plastic containers.

Some recipes call for half an onion. We sometimes lose the other half because it was forgotten in the frige and dries out. Chop and freeze the other half right away, and it's saved and ready for the next recipe.
