Cucumbers……….
When buying – Look for firm cucumbers, without blemishes or soft spots, which can indicate they have started to rot. They should be dark green without any yellow spots, which develop as the cucumber is getting overly ripe. At that point, it will often produce off-flavors and odors.
To Store them – Cucumbers can last about 2 weeks at maximum quality before they start to soften. Due to their high water content, the quicker you use a fresh cucumber, the better. Chilling cucumbers in the fridge can make them last, but only if you do so carefully.

Kicking up the Scrambled Eggs……….
For big, fluffy scrambled eggs, try adding some club soda or baking soda. Add 1 tablespoon of club soda for every 2 eggs you’re cooking, or 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda for every 4 eggs you’re cooking. Just whisk it right into your egg mixture, and enjoy your soft and fluffy eggs!

Storing Mushrooms………
You can use the original packaging from the store, because those cases are generally designed to allow for some air flow. You can also place mushrooms in a paper bag; just be sure to leave the top open. And that’s it! Pop the mushrooms in your fridge, unwashed, and be sure to use those mushrooms quickly.

Oh Nuts……….
Eating nuts on a regular basis may improve your health in many ways, such as by reducing diabetes and heart disease risk, as well as cholesterol and triglyceride levels. This nutritious high-fiber treat may even aid weight loss — despite its high calorie count. Almonds, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts and pecans also appear to be quite heart healthy. And peanuts — which are technically not a nut, but a legume, like beans — seem to be relatively healthy.

Buying Blackberries……….
Choose deeply colored, glossy berries that show no signs of having been crushed or bruised. As with all berries, check for mold before buying. Look for bright, uniform color; pass on darkened, dull berries.
It is best to store your blueberries in the fridge and wash just prior to eating. Berries are delicate and very perishable. If you wash them first and plan to store them for a long period of time in the refrigerator they can start to break down faster. Blueberries should last a week and a half or more!

Storing Strawberries………..
Remove the berries from their original container, and store them whole and unwashed in a partially-closed container lined with paper towels to absorb any excess moisture, preferably in a single layer so they don’t get crushed. They should last up to five to seven days.

Storing Tomatoes………
Ripe tomatoes should be kept at on your counter, uncovered, if you are going to enjoy the tomato in the next day or two. But any longer than that – the recommendation is to refrigerate. A so-so tomato is much better than a rotten, moldy tomato. Refrigeration will slow down the decay.

Gas vs. Charcoal…….
The age-old debate over which grilling method is “better” involves multiple variables, from flavor to cost to convenience. While no studies prove that either is healthier, gas does burn cleaner. Charcoal grills emit more carbon monoxide, particulate matter and soot into the atmosphere, contributing to increased pollution and higher concentrations of ground-level ozone. From a taste perspective, on the other hand, many people prefer the smokier, richer taste of food cooked on a charcoal grill. Either way, Fire That Grill Up!

Love that Bison (Buffalo)…………………..
Bison is leaner than beef and may be a healthier choice if you’re looking to reduce your calorie or fat intake. It has nearly 25% fewer calories than beef and is lower in total and saturated fat ( 2 , 3 ). Additionally, due to its lower fat content, bison has finer fat marbling, yielding softer and more tender meat.
