Can you freeze yogurt?
Absolutely! Yogurt has been one of the easiest foods for me to freeze. Whether it’s Greek or regular yogurt, simply stock up at the store and pop what you don’t plan to eat that week in your freezer.

Does water effectively clean an apple?
As soon as I stopped and asked myself this question, I already knew the answer was no. But, I don’t know about you, I have always been taught to just rinse an apple under water to “wash” it.
