Healthy Summer Potluck Tips
Freeze summer’s bounty. To freeze fresh berries, wash berries and pat dry. Spread in a single layer on a tray, cover with plastic wrap and freeze until solid. Pack the frozen fruit into sealable plastic bags, taking care to remove air from the bags. Freeze for up to 1 year.
Hard-boil eggs like a pro. A hard-boiled egg makes an excellent protein-rich snack or topper for a salad. Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low and cook at the barest simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, pour out hot water and fill the pan with a mixture of cold water and ice cubes. Let stand until cool enough to handle before peeling.
