Cooking Tip Bananas

When you buy bananas and they start going bad stick them in the freezer. That way you can pull them out when you need bananas for a recipe you have banana’s on hand.

Cooking Tip Whipped Topping

If you want to cut down on calories and fat go ahead and use fat free whipped topping instead of the regular whipped topping. It tastes just as good and then you can eat this delicious dessert without the guilt.
