For anyone who would like to post a Tip, Hint, or Suggestion, that makes cooking more enjoyable and interesting.
One that has been an aid to me: Puree a can of Veg-All and add it to Soups, Stews, and Crock Pot Gravies to thicken it.

Use a can opener to open the top and bottom of a tomato paste can. Doing so allows you to push all the paste out, like a push pop.

Cut a green pepper sides first, leaving the seeds and core attached to the stem.

Easiest way to peel a tomato:

Score a small X on the bottom, then drop into rolling boiling water for mere seconds, then immediately shock in an ice bath. The skin will literally fall right off while retaining a perfectly skinned uncooked tomato.

Save leftover Ham Bones and scraps in the Freezer for making Stock and/or cooking in Vegetables.

When making smothered pork chops, use apple juice as the braising liquid.

I've been cooking for more than 30 years and only thought of doing that in the last two. Works great.

I feel like you lose a good bit of the pepper when doing it this way.

Don't get high until you are done with prep work.

If your chicken & dumplins (or anything else) is too soupy, throw some instant mashed potato flakes in there for thickener.

If wanting to go low sodium, finely crush some red pepper flakes and use that instead of salt. Best to add it close to the end of the cooking process.
