Overheard on the Home Cooking Board

"I always wash berries and cherries before freezing. But I also drain well and dry with dish towels. Then I put them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze—this way they don't stick to each other—when frozen solid, transfer to a bag or other container."– Junie D

"One of my easiest summer pastas is to put olive oil, chopped ripe tomatoes, fresh shredded basil with some salt and pepper in a big serving bowl. Cover it and let it sit at room temp a few hours before serving. Cook fusilli, cavatappi, or cappelletti. While that cooks toss some lemon zest and lemon juice, plus a soft cheese like ricotta or Brie into the bowl. Pour drained pasta over and mix." – hotoynoodle

"[J]uice three Granny Smith apples and add to your lemonade for a tart kick. You can reduce the sugar somewhat due to the sweet-tartness of the apples. Green apple lemonade is addictive." – CDouglas
