Mise en place!!

Good afternoon, I'm hoping everyone is having a Terrific Tuesday. My tip for today is going to be short and sweet. I was talking to my good friend Chef Callie Salls of Linguine and Dirty Martinis about cooking, and she gave me a great tip to post.

Tip #2: Mise en place ~ pronounced (Miz ã plas)

It's literal translation is put in place. 

The Culinary Institute of America defines this french term as "everything in place". When you are baking or cooking, have your ingredients prepped and ready rather than trying to prep everything as you go. This makes it easier to keep an eye on what you are cooking, and makes clean up a breeze. 

Try this tip the next time you are cooking or baking, it works wonders and makes the dreaded clean up a snap!
