@brunchwithbabs: Did your Mother ever teach you how to keep your cold food cold (and dry) and hot food warm when you are enjoying the outdoors? 😎 Tip #1 What is worse than a soggy sandwich? Protect your food from getting waterlogged from melting ice. Just buy an under-the-desk wastebasket which fits perfectly into your cooler and will separate your food from your ice and beverages. Keeping your sandwich from getting soggy. 😎Tip #2 Turn your cooler into a hot box. Just wrap regular bricks in aluminum foil. Heat the bricks as you prepare your hot food for the day either on the grill or in the oven. Add bricks to the bottom of the cooler lined with newspaper or brown paper bags and your food will stay warm for hours. 😎Tip #3 Freeze water in silicone loaf pans to create large blocks of ice for the cooler. They take much longer to melt and will keep your food and drinks cold all day long. Enjoy your days outside! XO Babs #foodtips
