Frequently Asked Questions

Can I freeze broccoli?

Yes, you can freeze broccoli. It is best to blanche broccoli by pouring boiling water and then immersing it in cold water. Allow it to drip dry and place it on a baking tray. Freeze it on the baking tray. When the broccoli is frozen, you can transfer it to a freezer proof ziplock bag.

Do you need to blanche broccoli before cooking?

You do not need to blanche broccoli before cooking, but it yields better results. Blanching broccoli will keep your broccoli crisper as well as giving it a brighter green colour.

What Are Sheet Pan Meals

Sheet Pan Meals are simply dinners that are all baked on one large tray in the oven. Generally there is some kind of chicken, fish or meat with vegetables. But you can pretty much add anything you would like to a sheet pan dinner.

Tips For Creating Your Own Custom Sheet Pan Meals

  • Cut evenly – Make sure to cut your vegetables evenly to ensure even cooking.
  • Think about cooking times – Different ingredients often cook at different times. Often you can add everything to the pan at the same time which makes it even easier. However, with some meals, you may need to add ingredients at different times.
  • Use parchment paper – You can use parchment paper in all sheet pan meals. This helps prevent sticking as well as easy clean up!
  • Rotate pan 1/2 way through cooking – I find it’s best to rotate the pan half way through cooking to ensure even cooking.
  • Spread ingredients evenly on the pan – Again, to ensure even cooking, try to make sure the ingredients don’t overlap and that they are nestled in nicely. This will allow even cooking.
  • Allow to rest after cooking – For best results with sheet pan meals, allow them to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are cherry tomatoes and grape tomatoes the same?

Although these two varieties of tomatoes are very similar, there are also a few differences. Grape tomatoes have more of an oblong shape, a thicker skin and they have a lower water content. However, they can be used interchangeably in recipes.

How do you store cherry tomatoes?

Cherry tomatoes have their best flavour at room temperature. It’s best to store them at room temperature in a bowl on your counter top. Generally, they will keep up to about three days at room temperature. If your cherry tomatoes are overly ripe, either use them right away or store them in the fridge for an extra day or two.

Can you freeze cherry tomatoes?

You can freeze cherry tomatoes, but the texture will change after they have defrosted. To freeze cherry tomatoes, lay them out on a baking tray and place the tray in the freezer for about 2 hours. Once the tomatoes are frozen, place them in a freezer proof freezer bag and store them in the freezer.

Dinner Recipes for Spring

Tips for Cooking Spring Dinners

  • Use seasonal vegetables – Try to use seasonal vegetables when you can. You can find vegetables like asparagus, peas, radishes, cabbage, spinach, carrots, scallions, kale and arugula.
  • Keep things light – Spring is a time to move away from more comforting dinners like the Creamy Chicken & Leek Pie. Use the stove top more often, include salads and lighter sauces for an overall fresher dinner.
  • Try new things – With the new growing season upon us, it’s nice to try some new vegetables that you may have not used in your cooking before. Keep your eyes out for fresh and seasonal vegetables at your local supermarket.
