The Refrigerator Rules
1. Temperature Keep your refrigerator's temperature set to at least 40 degrees. Bacteria loves to grow between 40 and 140 degrees.
2. Cleaning Make sure to wipe up spills as soon as they happen. Clean your fridge with a thorough wipe down every week. Use a solution of half-and-half water and distilled vinegar.
3. Storing Store leftovers in containers with lids. This will prevent spills and cross contamination with other foods that might soon be spoiling or are already spoiled. All leftovers should be stored within 2 hours of cooking or 1 hour on hot summer days.
4. Chilling To chill hot leftovers, place them in shallow covered containers and immerse them in a bath of ice water to cool rapidly.
5. Discarding Toss any leftovers that have sat in the fridge for more than 4 days. Do not rely on smell, taste or sight. But if something is growing on your leftovers, it's definitely a sign to toss.
6. Reheating When you want to eat leftovers that need reheating, be sure to heat them to a temperature higher than 140 degrees.

Nutella Roll
I saw this easy to prepare snack somewhere and I decided to try it also. The original recipe was Peanut Butter Roll but I replaced peanut butter with Nutella instead.
Remove the outer part of the bread then flattened it with a rolling pin. Spread the Nutella and roll then cut it depending how thick you want and put a toothpick to lock.
My kiddo enjoyed it and went home with her snack box empty.

The Perfect Sauce for Every Noodle
I love pasta.
And did you know that every noodle has its best pair of sauce?
Read on...
• Farfalle: Also known as bow tie pasta, the cinched middles of this shape keep it from overcooking and are ideal for catching bits of sauce. Farfalle goes well with light, vegetable-based sauces like primavera.
• Linguini: This pasta shape translates to "little tongues." Its flat shape helps sauces adhere to it, so it’s excellent with delicate, olive oil–based sauces.
• Orzo: This rice-shaped pasta works great in soups and salads. It can also be used to make a faster version of risotto.
• Pappardelle: This wide, velvety egg noodle has a relatively soft texture. It’s wonderful with chunky, ragu-style sauces, which usually contain ground meat, tomatoes, and onions. For a vegetarian dish, pappardelle goes nicely with gremolata—a topping of parsley, garlic, and lemon zest.
• Penne: This tubular pasta comes in both a smooth and ridged (rigate) variety. The slanted ends of the penne help pull sauce up into the tubes, and the ridges on the rigate-style noodles help to grab even more sauce. Serve penne with rustic tomato sauces, such as puttanesca and marinara.
• Spaghetti: The most popular pasta shape in the world, this long noodle goes well with any thick tomato-based sauce.
