Green Peppers (actually any peppers)

One of my best girlfriends gave me this great tip. As many of you know, I live out of town, so when i get groceries I usually buy in bulk. Sometimes this can be a challenge at home though as there are times that things go bad in my fridge before I get a chance to use them. Peppers were one thing that I struggled with the most. After cutting into one, if I didn't use the whole thing, I would put it in the fridge and then next time I would go to use it I would find it all slimy and not very good.

So the tip is...

Wrap unused portions of peppers in paper towel before placing back in the fridge!!

The paper towel absorbs the extra moisture leaving your peppers crisp and ready to use next time!!
