Pleanty of info to digest. My Wednesday tip is this. Always keep a bag of cubed hash browns in the freezer. They are great for a quick potato soup or sauteing off as an accompaniment with dinner. Saves on time - you don't have to stand and peel those potatoes...who has time for that!!<BR/>Hope this is helpful.Elaine Briggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06965765062043385952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-74147389824749699872009-03-04T15:10:00.000-06:002009-03-04T15:10:00.000-06:00Your tips are great!
