Feb 16 - Tip of the Day: To soften butter, let it stand at room temperature for 10 to 30 minutes (depending on the room's temperature). No time for that? Either slice it or place it between sheets of wax paper and pound with a rolling pin; the larger surface area will allow for faster softening.

 

Feb 18 - Tip of the Day: Keep sour cream, cottage cheese, and yogurt fresher longer by storing them in the refrigerator upside down.
