Green Challenge giveaway: Super Natural Cooking winner announced
I loved reading the comments and entries for this giveaway! So many of you wrote in with great time saving tips for a chance to win a copy of Super Natural Cooking by Heidi Swanson. Alas, I had only one copy and it went to Susan Chester who wrote:
Before I go grocery shopping, I clean out the fridge to make room for more. This saves me time hunting for what I need. I also make start out with a clean kitchen and an empty dishwasher to save clean up time and frustration.This is indeed a good time-saving tip for the kitchen. Winners are randomly chosen but I still read every single entry. I was also fond of the following comments:
psn either works in a kitchen or watches Top Chef:
Dawn's tip saves time and water:definitely mise en place. nothing beats prepping everything before cooking so you're not wasting time running around the kitchen burning things trying to prep on the fly.
My best tip is rinse and re-use. After you boil the pasta, set in a strainer and use the same pot to cook your sauce. Cook your pancakes in the skillet, then add oil to cook the eggs. When cutting your veggies use the same cutting board and knife, just wipe it down between more fragrant ingredients such as onions; if you are a omnivore cut your veggies, then your meats to avoid contamination. Not only will this cut down on your prep time as you won't be searching the kitchen for yet another appliance, but it will also mean less to clean.
Kam A and I are on the same page:
I keep the cabinets organized and when I am low on essential ingredients I make sure to add it to the shopping list on the fridge so I don't find myself short an important ingredient and having to make a midweek trip to the store just to pick it up.
Thanks to everyone that entered. Keep your eyes peeled for another giveaway later today.
