How to Freeze Bananas So They Don’t Totally & Completely Rot

It’s a tale as old as time: you buy a bunch of bananas at the grocery store with every intention to eat them with breakfast or lunch daily for the next five days, but they inevitably go bad before you get the chance. Banana bread is a great way to use up overripe bananas (as we all know from our quarantine days), but sometimes you can’t find the time to bake a loaf before they turn rotten. Like avocados, it’s tricky to track the ripeness of bananas, which leads to food waste. Enter: freezing bananas. Here’s the thing: freezing and thawing bananas leads to somewhat mushy fruit, so you won’t want to eat them as-is, which means they’re perfect for baking and blending. With this brilliant kitchen tip, you’ll never waste a bunch of bananas and will you’ll them on deck when a banana bread craving strikes. (Sounds like a win-win to us!)

To freeze whole bananas, peel them completely, line them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, and put them in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours. Once frozen, transfer the bananas to an airtight, freezer-safe plastic bag or container, and place them back in the freezer. Read More >>

Beef Bourguignon (Beef Stew with Wine)

This Beef Bourguignon is a take on a classic French stew with a deep rich flavor from red wine. Tender beef, mushrooms, carrots, potatoes, and bacon are simmered in a savory broth. Don’t be afraid to try this recipe, it’s one that Julia Child was well known for and while it does need some time, it’s actually not difficult to make. What is Beef Bourguignon? Beef Bourguignon (pronounced “bef bur-gee-nyon,”) is a beef stew recipe . The difference between this recipe and a regular stew is the amount of wine added to the broth giving it a deep flavor. Carrots, onions, mushrooms, and garlic round out this one-pot meal. The whole thing bakes in the oven until tender.
