Hello lovely readers! Sorry for the two week vacation from the blog…but I was on an actual real live vacation in Florida. Justin and I went on a lovely “babymoon” and attended the wedding of one of my best girlfriends. We had an amazing time and it actually made me miss Florida {where I was born and raised} more than I ever thought I would or could. Maybe I just miss the people that I love. Or the beach. Or the seafood. Who knows.
But while I was away, I decided to write a few non-recipe posts that I will be putting out this week. Posts on tricks and tips I’ve learned over the last few years and the kitchen gadgets I just can’t live without.
Kitchen Tip: Freeze Your Citrus!
I have a love/hate relationship with my citrus zester. I either don’t push down hard enough or the citrus is too mushy and I barely get any results. So I started to freeze my citrus when I knew I would need to zest it for a recipe later that day. Now I just keep a few lemons and limes on hand in the freezer and it’s SO much easier to zest them. I’ll even save just the rinds of ones that I’ve juiced. Try it. 🙂
