Tips from Food Network’s Robin Miller on saving with food
Thursday, February 19th, 2009From Food Network Robin Miller’s site, here are some killer tips on getting yummy food and being wise with your food budget:
Buy meats in bulk and freeze portions with marinade inside a plastic zip top bag. As it defrosts, the meat will become infused with the marinade and stay moist.
1. Don’t throw out your leftover rice! Use it to make fried rice, rice cakes or quick rice pudding.
2. Almost out of Dijon? Don’t let those last tablespoons go to waste. Add vinaigrette ingredients straight to the mustard jar and shake for mess-free salad dressing.
3. To get the maximum amount of juice out of lemons and limes, pop them in the microwave for 10 seconds. This will break down the fibers inside, allowing juice to flow.
