Cooking Tips

#1 

Remember, y'all, it’s all about the prep. Take away the stress by doing the prep the night or day before. 

#2

For best results when you're baking, leave butter and eggs at room temperature overnight.

 

#3

When chopping herbs, toss a little salt onto the cutting board; it will keep the herbs from flying around.
