Befriend Your Freezer

Certain frozen fruits and vegetables taste just as good as their fresh counterparts: peas, corn, and cranberries.

Nuts spoil quickly. Stash your pecans, walnuts, and pine nuts in the freezer to keep them fresh.

Sandwiches require bread. Bread is susceptible to mold. Refrigeration prevents mold, but ruins bread’s consistency. The answer? The freezer. Frozen rolls and slices take less than 1/2 an hour to defrost, retain their texture, and taste fresh. This trick works especially well with baguettes and brioche rolls. Go figure we learned it from a Parisian family friend.
