Avocados

If you love avocados as much as we do, then you’ll go crazy over this food prep hack. Avocados are so delicious, but they can be so frustrating to cut up! The most aggravating part of the process is undoubtedly trying to remove the pit. The avocado is so slippery, the task of pit removal seems almost impossible. To make it easy, simply cut the avocado in half like you normally would and twist to reveal the pit on one of the halves. Then, take the knife and wedge it into the center of the pit. Twist, and pop the pit out. Once you try this method, you’ll never go back!

Sandwich Cookies

While we love making our own cookies and desserts, there’s just something about Oreos and other store-bought sandwich style cookies that call to us. Maybe it’s nostalgia for a childhood favorite or the fact that these cookies are easy to pick up and snack on. Either way, they’re here to stay. While the general population may be split on whether to dunk or not to dunk, we know that these cookies are best served with a glass of milk. If you enjoy dunking your cookies, you’ll be all too familiar with the dilemma of getting your fingers into the milk, or not dunking your cookie all the way. Instead, place a fork in the cream center of the cookie and dunk the whole thing in milk. Talk about a game changer!
