Kitchen Tip Tuesdays: Keeping celery fresh

  Tags:

For longer shelf life, store celery in vegetable drawer, wrapped snugly in aluminum foil.

Keeping celery fresh longer

I like to save the celery hearts for soup. (Hearts from two bunches of celery are shown above.)

After we use the green stalks for salads or celery sticks, the light inside stalks, along with all of the leaves, are perfect for adding to vegetable soup or chicken soup! Just wrap in foil and save until you're ready to make soup.

How to choose Asparagus

I have never heard of wrapping celery in foil before. I will have to give it a try.

Baking Soda

I haven't heard of wrapping celery either! Thank so much...it always bugs me that the last few pieces go to waste before we use them.

My tip is for using baking soda as a cleaner:

Grind your own flaxseed

My tip is if you have flaxseed on hand but need flax meal (as in for these oat bran muffins), you can grind them yourself!

A New and Easy Way to do Sloppy Joes

Here is a new take on sloppy joes. Add some bacon and place mix in a large loaf of French bread rather than on individual buns. Recipe here. http://basketmasterweavings.blogspot.com/2010/03/nancys-sloppy-joe-recipe.html

My kitchen tip today is on knowing how your food should smell/look when you buy it from the store. I've had too many bad experiences getting home and having spoiled or bad foods *sigh*.

Chicken stock

http://sortafrugal.blogspot.com/2010/03/kitchen-tip-tuesday.html

That's the link to my tip for making chicken stock. And your idea to wrap celery in foil really works! I've been doing it for a while now. I cut off the bottom, separate the pieces and wash them, then wrap them up again. (I usually snack on those lighter colored pieces in the middle, which are so sweet!)
