When picking up fresh berries, be careful they're super fresh right from the get-go. If you buy overripe, mushy berries, they're going to go bad quickly.

I just picked up the most beautiful, fresh raspberries and strawberries. To keep them tasting great for at least 5 days ahead, I removed them from their original packaging and placed them in a shallow container in a single layer, on top of a paper towel. The paper towel will soak up moisture so the berries don't mold. Don't stack berries on top of more berries. Keep the container lid slightly ajar and place in the refrigerator.

In addition, I don't wash them until right up to the moment when I'm about to use them.

Ingredients:

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 oz each)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 pkg (6 oz) fresh baby spinach
1 c fresh raspberries
1 c halved fresh strawberries
2/3 c crumbled goat cheese
3 Tbsp chopped pecans, toasted
1/4 c prepared raspberry vinaigrette

1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. On a greased grill rack, grill chicken, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 inches from heat 4-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 165F.

2. While you're waiting for the chicken to cook, toast the nuts. To do so, bake in a shallow pan in a 350F oven for 5-10 minutes or cook in a skillet over low heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.

3. In a large bowl, combine spinach, berries, cheese and pecans. Cut chicken into slices; add to salad. Drizzle with vinaigrette and toss lightly to coat. Serve immediately. (Makes 4 servings.)

For super quick details, and a great video, about the world's sharpest knives, visit:

http://www.getorganizednow.com/rd-chef.html

Did you know that there's nothing more dangerous in the kitchen than cutting with dull knives? A dull blade requires more effort and pressure to cut. This means there's a higher chance the dull knife will slip with a lot of force behind it, increasing the chances of an injury...and possibly a visit to the ER.

This particular set of knives is very unique. They're incredibly lightweight and are super-strong (they can easily cut through a butternut squash and makes slicing meat a breeze). This is because they're made with a ceramic blade that is actually 10 times sharper than steel.

You've got to check them out. For details, visit:
