Today's Kitchen Tip: Use everyday items for serving

I used to be of the thought that I needed a separate piece of equipment for everything I did, but as I expanded my methods, my pantries were overflowing with single use items.

When I wanted to serve a simple veggie tray, I realized I didn't have the 'exact' type I wanted and was going to purchase a new one.  Then I realized I had something already at home that I could use.  So rather than using a special veggie tray, I used a platter and a bowl I already had to make the perfect veggie tray.

This is a simple example of how you can use what you have, but I hope it sparks your imagination to use what you have without buying new things.
