Watch a Documentary About Food

REFLECTION QUESTIONStorageDo a bit of research about foods that freeze and revive well. What can you put in the freezer that you didn't know you could?
Aspen French 10/08/2026 8:51 AMI have started buying produce and freezing it more frequently. Even though I knew I could buy frozen veggies and fruit, it wasn't something I was properly taking advantage of. -
REFLECTION QUESTIONCookingHow has using a timer changed your kitchen routine?
Aspen French 10/05/2026 9:02 AMBeforehand I tended to overcook or burn food more frequently because I'm easily distracted by my pets or phone. Now my cooking tastes better and I'm more efficient at making it.
