    you can freeze avocados! had no idea but tried and it's amazing (since i'm the only one in my house who loves them). take your very ripe avocado and do the usual, cut in half, de-pit and slice or scoop the meat into a bowl. mush with a fork and ad a splash of lime juice or apple cider (any) vinegar. put in a freezer bag and try to remove all the air, and lay it flat in the freezer. you can break part off and defrost and put on your tacos, toast, salads.

    When my potatoes start to sprout I cut off the sprouts and put the sprouts in a dark area in my basement or in my fridge. Then I plant them in the spring and grow new potatoes :) I of course eat the remaining potato :)

    I just made the Banana Bread in my blender because it looked so easy! It was great - easy and yummy (I sprinkled mini chocolate chips on top). The blender was a tricky cleaning but all good! Smart to use the 9x13. Cooked in 22 minutes.

    Thanks 👍 Ali for these hacks. Frozen produce is good for reducing waste because certain produce for example broccoli 🥦 & cauliflower go off too quickly so I only buy it frozen now. Another awesome video from Ali and love 🥰 it. I buy carrots for salads but for cooked recipes use frozen carrots. Love 💞 Ali and family. Have a lovely weekend and week ahead.

    Is there an alternative to using aluminum foil?
    Also, if you can store the tomatoes on the counter (like the grocery store does), why can't you store fresh berries on the counter too? The grocery stores do...

    Yes, that is the historically correct pronunciation. Some Europeans use the "h" so either is acceptable but the word is "borrowed" from the French who employ the silent h. Just looked it up online. I believe most Americans use the silent h too.

      I didn't notice, because she probably did-- so, it was probably something I didn't pay attention to, because it is Common in some areas to pronounce it that way (a "silent h" phonetically). That is actually the "correct" pronunciation that I was taught In School lol and I am 54 years old... it wasn't until much later in life that I started hearing the word pronounced with the h being heard... which has always sounded strange to me lol
      So, I have come to realize that it depends on the area, and even the country that you live in, that determines how you pronounce the word.
      I live in Kentucky, USA.
      But you can hear it pronounced both ways throughout my state, and throughout the country.... it just depends where you are.

      Most areas in USA pronounce herbs “Urbs” in Europe the “h” isn’t silent. (According to my kitchen mentors Martha Stewart and Julia Child 😉)
