Tips & Techniques

  • How-To

    Use the pulse feature on your food processor to finely chop nuts. Or seal chopped nuts in a resealable plastic bag, and use a rolling pin to crush them.

  • Planned-Overs

    Too many overly ripe bananas? Simply peel bananas, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze. Thaw the amount you need for recipes, such as this one!
