Iā€™ve recently gotten some ginger paste from the refrigerated produce section havenā€™t used it yet, but the garlic paste is very handy for anything that doesnā€™t seriously rely on fresh garlic (Iā€™m thinking Caesar Salad and pasta aglio e olio)

When Sunshine gets close to the bottom of the ice cream container, I just hand her a spoon and tell her to finish it.

One less bowl to wash!!

Yesā€¦ Sunshine likes the Maple Brown sugar oatmeal packets from Walmart (Great Value brand). Quick and easy breakfast (when she wants breakfast)

Ice cream and portion control.

Does not compute.

Thatā€™s my modus operandi as well, except it starts way before I get to the bottom.

Like it starts when I pop open the container and break the seal ā€¦

The trick is to buy a flavour you donā€™t like that much. I have an icey crystallizing 3 month-old Spumoni, a 4 month-old sticky , an icey crystallizing local artisanal salted toffee coffee gelato, and a tartufo with a bite taken out of it, in my freezer right now.

A container is a portion. Of course, that applies to pints and quarts, too ā€¦

I buy peeled garlic in bulk at Costco and split it up between 3 households. Then I freeze my share. I MHO, freezing tempers the bite.

I split my fresh ginger into 1 or 2 inch segments and freeze it. I donā€™t like jarred ginger for whatever reason and Iā€™m always scared the jarred garlic will go bad.

I tried jarred Alfredo in Mac & Cheese for the first time last night.

Worked out great. Thanks!

Iā€™ve looked at ginger paste SEVERAL times in the stores, and just havenā€™t pulled the trigger. Hopefully itā€™s worth it!

I love the ginger paste in the squeeze tubes. Also like the lemongrass paste from the same section. And they keep for quite awhile. I bought the garlic one by accident and it wasnā€™t a buy again for me. Iā€™m mote of a garlic powder kind of cook
