Today’s quick tip is brought to by KT’s Kitchen. 😉 While cooking, be sure to top pots and pans with its lid so the steam can help cook the food faster. The sooner the food is done, the sooner you can turn the stove off! This saves gas or electricity depending on your stove. Also, … Read more

Today’s tip is to choose glass over plastic. When buying food products, look for glass versions over plastic. Want to buy salsa? Choose the glass containers rather than the plastic ones.

We can use up all our products to the very last drop–sure. Scrape everything before discarding the bottles and jars.

You can’t refill them and the best bet I can think of is if it comes in a glass bottle. Through my research, Pacifica’s … Read more
