Let me tell you about my heartbreak of the year. I have no place to grow herbs at my apartment — we’re lacking in direct sunlight. It is a tragedy. But I suppose I can deal with it as long as I can find $1 cilantro at Market Basket. I don’t buy fresh herbs as often as I’d like, because they often go bad before I get around to using them all. (Basil is the exception — it takes me about two seconds to use it all.) But ever since Tim’s mom gifted us this Cuisipro herb keeper, the life of my cilantro has been extended by many days. What a great idea, right?
I used this cilantro once last week for enchiladas, and now again to top my barbecue chicken pizza (the fourth BBQ chicken pizza we’ve had in the last four weeks). What should I do with it next?

Cilantro lime ranch! Or fresh salsa! Or tortilla soup!
I need that herb keeper thing. I always have cilantro going bad in the fridge. Put it on my Christmas list.
Puree it in food processor and store in airtight container in fridge or freezer. You can then add it to many dishes, like soups/stews, beans, rice dishes, salsa, cream dips, salad dressings, or anything else. Since its blended you can put little or a lot depending on your personal taste. You’ll be surprised how many different foods taste better with this awesome and very flavorful herb.
