As I learn incredibly easy and helpful ways around the kitchen, I will pass them on to my ever-ready and willing to learn readers. You may find them silly and never try it but I'll put them out there anyway!
Let's focus on herbs for this tip.
Do you use herbs (the cooking kind)? If so, good for you. I find so many people now days who think salt and pepper count as "seasoning". I call salt and pepper a cop-out. Get friendly with what you're cooking and search for which seasonings/herbs work best with the dish you plan to make.
I found that my fresh herbs get very unhappy in my fridge after a week (by unhappy I mean go stale and die). So, to correct my unhappy herb dilemma, I set out to find a better way to store herbs.
Solution--Freeze your herbs!
Yes, you can zip lock bag your herbs and freeze them. When you know you need them, pull them out and let them defrost. Surprisingly, this works well for dried herbs too.
Remember when you put your herbs in a "baggie", always label them so you know what is in the bag when you use it 2 weeks later.
