Just in time for summer entertaining, the Ziploc brand has partnered with Food Network contributor, cookbook author, nutritionist and mom Robin Miller to help families get more out of their summer festivities, while saving time, money and resources.
Whether prepping tasty meals for the grill, offering creative treats for guests, or packing on-the-go snacks, Miller has quick and hassle-free solutions to make summer entertaining and festivities a breeze.
She has a fun list of tips on how to use Ziploc bags, my favorite is “Pack It”… it is just practical! Here’s the Pack It Tip:
For no-fuss, budget-friendly outdoor meals and snacks, try packing a picnic for the family instead of purchasing expensive theme-park meals. Make cleaning up a cinch by storing tableware, tongs and serving spoons in Ziploc® Brand Slider Storage and Freezer Bags with the Smart Zip™ Seal for easy access. Prepare for any spills or mishaps by pre-moistening paper towels and storing them in Ziploc® Brand Freezer Bags. Reserve the bags to bring the dirty items home so you can pop them straight into the sink or dishwasher.
As I was browsing more on the Ziploc site and on Robin Miller… I found some of her must-have summer recipes including:
Spiral Pasta with Pesto, Sundried Tomatoes and Pine Nuts – Hello, delicious and fresh!
Ziploc Brand Zip ‘n Steam Steak Tacos – Ziploc Zip’n Steam Microwave Cooking Bags combine the taste and nutritional benefits of steam cooking with all the convenience of your microwave!
Beef Kebabs with Three Dips –Chipotle-Lime Mayo, Wasabi Soy Sauce, & Roasted Red Pepper Dip – This is going on my grill as soon as the weather improves!!
You can check out these Fresh, Delicious Recipes and more on the “All Recipes” page. They have some easy and tasty looking recipes! There are so many uses for Ziploc bags and storage containers… the possibilities are truly endless.
