The coming list from one of our favourite websites, is actually a new and inventive list with ideas that I had not yet heard about like peeling ginger with a spoon! Who knew?! Well, all you have to do is scrape it against the skin and it will come right off as easy. Or did you realize that your food grated had an attachment at the bottom to make the mess, clean up and storage even easier? How about investing in one of those awesome hand held blenders which makes dips a breeze?

Even things like keeping a 'garbage' bowl on your counter while you work will make production go easier and clean up a cinch. Another thing is, investing in small Tupperware so that when you make broth or sauce you can freeze it in portion sizes that make sense for your favourite recipes.
