Kitchen Hacks, Tips & Tricks

Are you a bread lover like me? Do you love a good sandwich on a French baguette or Cuban roll but do not want to be eating all those carbs? If so, this is the right trick for you. Some people might think it’s silly but it really works because your brain thinks you are eating the entire bread so you feel satisfied when in reality you are eating mostly the outside crust. Instructions Only One Step: Open the bread that you will be using to make your sandwich and remove the inside of the bread. The amount you remove is the amount you prefer to avoid eating.  The end result is a sandwich that is leaner with less carbs.  

I am sure there are many ways to cut open an avocado and remove the pit but here I’ll show you the way I do it which I learned it from my Peruvian family.  Instructions Step 1: Rinse a fresh avocado and dry it with a paper towel. Step 2: On a cutting board, slice the avocado lengthwise around the pit. Step 3: Then slightly twist the avocado to separate the two halves. Step 4: Carefully to avoid waste, use a tablespoon to scoop the pit out of the avocado by running the spoon under and around the pit. Once the pit is out, you can use the avocado for whatever you need. You can scoop the entire avocado half to slice it for salads or other dishes. You can also scoop it in small parts or smash it for sandwiches.  There are a million ways to eat avocado so have fun with it!
