Tip for the Day!

Sometimes I need just a little cheese grated but hate to bring out the large metal grater.  I don't like to cut the cheese in slices because it doesn't melt quick and even. 

I've discovered that when you want a small amount of grated cheese in a hurry, you can use a lemon zester.  This is the perfect tool and the cheese comes out in thin strips for easy distribution and melting.

I used the zester in my previous post "On the Go Breakfast" and you can see the picture of what the cheese looks like after being "zested."
