Leftover canned tomato paste?  You can afford to let that go to waste.  Drop by the tablespoon as you would cookies onto a foil or plastic-wrap lined small pan or casserole; "flash-freeze" until hard. Bag them into a zipper-seal pint freezer bag, labeled. Add, still frozen, to hot sauces, soups and stews as needed.

Here's a simple way to keep food safe on the way home from the grocery.  Frozen food loses flavor and texture, as well as growing harmful germs, when it begins to thaw.  Keep an insulated cooler in the trunk of your car.  When they bag your groceries, put frozen items together, then place them in the cooler for the trip home.

Tired of picking pieces of egg shell out of cracked eggs?  No one likes a crunchy omelet!  Instead of cracking them on the side of the bowl or pan, tap them on the counter just enough to break the shell a little.  Then it pull apart and the egg drops out with no shell fragments.
