My kids go through a lot of food.
My son is an endless pit, and Lacey not letting her brother ever have one up on her with anything, has decided to follow suit.
One of their favorite snacks is fruit and over the years I have always been frustrated with how quickly I have to get through our fruit before it goes bad and I end up throwing it out and wasting a ton of money.
I spend a little time (ok, a lot of time) browsing Pinterest after the kids go to bed, and I came across one I just had to try.
It claimed to keep your strawberries fresher, for weeks longer, with one little trick.
Vinegar and water.
Easy peasy.
First I combined 1/4 cup vinegar with 4 cups of cold water.
Then I just pour my container of strawberries into the water mixture and swoosh around a bit.
Little tid bit, this also gets rid of any bacteria left on the strawberries and no your strawberries won't taste like vinegar, promise!
It doesn't take long, just a few seconds to give them a good coat.
I then lay them out to dry on a towel, and store them in the fridge.
No joke, my strawberries lasted for several weeks like this, when before I would notice them getting smooshy and bad after about a week.
You have to try this out and let me know if it works for you! I even tried it on my blueberries, and it worked with them as well.
Nd just for fun, Maverick got his monthly haircut today so I have to share a pic. I'm always amazed by how well he does for being so little. He goes every 6 weeks.
Happy Thursday everyone!

Wow, what a great tip about the vinegar and water; I never knew this! Also I'm intrigued to hear that your little guy gets his hair cut every 6 weeks and it makes me feel hilarious because I seriously always wait WAY too long to get my boys' haircut. I need to step up my game.. haha! <3
ReplyDeleteHello Gillian!
DeleteYes! I used to wait way too long in between cuts as well. Then I started scheduling his next appointment while I was there and it has worked out much better for us :)
Take care!
