Make big portions when preparing stock. Plan to make a big pot of stock so you can freeze and store it. There are a variety of recipes that call for chicken stock, so having it on hand is always a good idea. Let your stock come to room temperature before you freeze it.

Chicken Broth

When you cook veggies, try using some chicken broth! Using chicken broth will prevent the vegetables from sticking in the pan as well as add some tasty flavor at the same time. Chicken broth can be found at almost all local grocery stores at a very cheap price.

TIP! Garlic is a tasty ingredient that has a flavor that can, unfortunately, transfer to your hands. After you work with garlic or any other type of ingredients that have a strong smell, rub your hands completely on stainless steel, like the inside of your sink.

If you want to add flavor to your dishes, use a liquid other than milk or water. In place of water, try adding beef or chicken broth, juice or even water used to cook vegetables. You can substitute buttermilk, yogurt or sour cream in place of the milk. Changing up the liquids in your recipes can add nutrition, while livening up a standby dish.

When serving a salad at a social gathering, keep the dressing in a dish to the side. This will allow your guests to control how much dressing they want to put on their salad. Offer several different types of dressing.

TIP! Optimize your efforts when making your own chicken stock. Make enough so that you can freeze it and use it in your recipes.
