Apples are used a great deal to cook in the winter and fall months, however it is important to store them properly to prevent spoiling. Apples tend to rot in warm dry air, so tie them up loosely in plastic bags and store in a refrigerator or cool basement. Be sure to remove any spoiled apples as soon as you spot them, or the entire batch will end up rotten.

Mashed Potatoes

To reduce the calories and fat of mashed potatoes, and to avoid sacrificing taste or texture, replace some potatoes with the same amount of cauliflower. Cauliflower blends perfectly with your potatoes without changing the taste of your mashed potatoes. Cauliflower is also the same texture and color of potatoes when mashed so it’s a great way to add more veggies, while lowering calories from classic mashed potatoes.

TIP! Add oil to the side of the pan when you are cooking with it. The oil will then already be heated when it comes to the center of the pan.
