Avocado’s always going bad? 🥑 Try this hack‼️ This is by far the best avocado kitchen hack I’ve discovered. All you need to do is place your almost-ripe avocados in a jar of water and store the jar in the refrigerator.

They can easily be used in a wide range of recipes, and with this hack, you’ll never let another ripe avocado go to waste. Note: These have been in this jar for about two weeks. Let me know how this avocado hack works for you! #avocado #avocadobenefits #avocados

Fun Sunday READ📰: Who else remembers 🍝 UhOh SpaghettiOs and the invention of spray 🧀 cheese in a can? Annie --- The 1960s were a famously tumultuous decade, so I suppose it makes sense that the food followed suit. On the one hand: Julia Child, who made her pop-culture arrival after the first episode of “The French Chef” aired on July 26, 1962. On the other hand: spray cheese, which debuted in 1965. It was a contrast that feels deeply familiar today but was new back then: corporations cranking out an endless supply of new convenience foods while competing factions of culinary celebrities grew in prominence and cultural status and railed against the packaged foods that they viewed as mass-produced dreck, high in preservatives and low in any redeeming features. Writing in New York magazine in 1968 about “the rise of the Food Establishment,” the oft-prescient Nora Ephron separated these tastemakers into two groups: the revolutionaries and the purists. When revolutionaries get together, they talk about the technical aspects of food: how to ripen a tomato, for example, and whether the extra volume provided by beating eggs with a wire whisk justifies not using the more convenient electric beater. On the other side are the purists or traditionalists, who see themselves as the last holdouts for haute cuisine. Their virtue is taste; their concern primarily French food. They are almost missionary-like, championing the cause of great food against the rising tide of the TV dinner, clamoring for better palates as they watch the children of America raised on a steady diet of SpaghettiOs. SpaghettiOs. Already the enemy of foodies even before the term “foodie” originated. ...READ More... #conveniencefoods #snackfoods #quickbites #convenientmeals #snacktime #Foodie Hon.

Because, I know what to expect. Usually frequent family owned restaurants that have used a family recipe that has been handed down,perfected and never changed In life you may have a recipe for happiness. It’s a way of life that works for you and it’s been that way for a while because it’s taken you years to perfect your recipe! Too many cooks will spoil the dish! It’s ok to listen to what others are doing but always remember just because they are doing something different than you are, it may work for them but that doesn’t mean it will work for you. So listen to others just as a consideration and, maybe what they are saying might make sense at the time, so maybe some minor adjustments are ok to test out. But, always remember when you find the recipe for life that makes you happy don’t ever totally change it. I mean if it's not broken why try to fix it? And by the way this food in the picture are Huevos Rancheros from 𝗕𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝗮𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗳𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗼 in Hollister California it is AMAZING and they definitely have the right recipe for this delicious dish! Happy Thursday! #thoughtsforthursday #Huevosrancheros #Hollister #Buenosdiascafecito rEnchilada #ChicanoCofounder #Latinosintech #Sobriety
