1. Brush olive oil on sweet potatoes before baking them, and the skin will peel off effortlessly once cooked.
2. Rinse quinoa easily in a mesh strainer and cook it in chicken broth for a better flavor.
3. Avoid future tears and cleanup (and cut fingers in my case!) by chopping or slicing an entire onion at once and refrigerating what you don't use for next time.
