Tips for the Week

Alison’s Tip

When making mashed potatoes, never use an electric mixer or kitchen aid to mix the potatoes.  These electric devices tend to overwork the potatoes creating a gummy texture.  The best kitchen tool to use when making mashed potatoes is a ricer.  It will give you the perfect consistency that melts in your mouth.  Happy cooking!

The easiest way to get your child to eat healthy foods is to get them involved. Take them to the grocery store with you, ask your child to help you select fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods. At home, encourage your child to help you rinse veggies, stir batter or set the table.
