Ground beef can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.  For longer storage, it can be frozen up to 3 months.

Don’t store soft, chewy cookies in the same container with crisp cookies, or the crisp cookies will soften.  To keep soft cookies moist, add 1 or 2 pieces of apple to the storage container.  Cover it tightly and let the fruit stand 2 days before removing it.

Ever have a night when you can’t figure out what to make for dinner?  I know I have that happen here quite often. Therefore, when I came across a site called Key Ingredients, I was definitely enticed to check it out. They make it super easy for you to find recipes for food that you already have in your house! I personally typed in ground beef and instantly had eight things to make supper. You can also type in multiple items you have available (like beef and garlic) and still get results (for that combination, I got seven results). You can also sign up quite easily for this site and its free. You are able to put your own recipes in there, and you have a great storage place for them. The added benefit is that you can share your good recipes with others. My favorite part of this site has to be the grocery list. If you find recipes that you want to try, you can click the grocery list. The program then compiles a list for you that you can print and take grocery shopping! How nice is that? If you are in need of a great place to store your recipes and to find new ones, definitely check out Key Ingredient.
