Tomato Paste

I don't know where I got this tip but I like it (warning: old lady tip ahead). This one is for all the years that all of us have opened a can of tomato paste and used one or two tablespoons, then put the can in the fridge and waited til it got super moldy and disgusting and then threw the whole thing away. Here's a better idea!

Spread out a piece of saran wrap

 Measure out 1 tablespoon piles of paste on the saran

Cut the saran and roll up your little pastes like tootsie rolls

 Throw them in a baggie

Throw the baggie in the freezer - now you have measured tomato pastes ready for whatever you're cooking and you can just go from freezer to pot with them. And you're not a waster! And if you're really good, you recycled the can too!
