Ingredient Notes:

Phyllo: A thin unleavened dough used for making pastries. Phyllo-based pastries are made by layering many sheets of phyllo brushed with oil or butter, however, you can use phyllo in a lot of different ways like wrapping your brie or feta cheese in or making delicious appetizers (more recipes below).

My Top Kitchen Hacks

How to revive stale bread: Rinse your loaf of bread lightly with water. Then put in the oven at 325F for 5-7 minutes. The crust should be crispy again and the inside of the bread should be nice and warm.
How to make wilted broccoli crisp again: When a head of broccoli is wilting, cut off a slice from the bottom of the stalk; pop it in a bowl of water; and, wait a few hours for it to perk up again.
Make whipped cream in a mason jar: Don’t have a mixer but need whipped cream for a dessert? Put heavy whipping cream in a good-size mason jar (i.e. the jar should be about half-full when you pour in all the heavy whipping cream) and vigorously shake for about a minute. Voila, whipped cream!
Use those cheese rinds: Ever get to the end of parmesan cheese and go to throw out the rind?! Stop what you’re doing! Save those rinds – you can freeze them and they use to flavor your favorite sauces and soups. Simply add the rind to a soup or sauce and let simmer to impart delicious flavor.
Want the secret to perfectly round cookies: When the cookies come out of the oven use a circular cookie cutter or a glass (flipped over), make sure the circle is larger than your cookie, and use it to mold the edges of the cookie using a swirling motion to create the perfect round cookie shape.
Measure flour perfectly each time: Scoop flour into the measuring cup and then level off with a knife. This measures flour perfectly every time compared to scooping OUT of the flour bag which tends to compress the flour, adding unwanted flour to your baked goods. Top with herbs, honey+ chilies or on their own or topped with confit tomatoes!
