Trifle Bowl

The Trifle Bowl is very practical and makes a lovely trifle or can be a beautiful centerpiece.  There are many ideas as to how it can be used.  Some ideas for centerpieces include:  candle holder, flower vase, gift of garden things, snack bowl, etc.  

The stand that it sits on can be stored inside it, which is helpful when saving space in your cabinets.

Salad Choppers

I recently purchased the salad choppers and have been very pleased.  Not only are they good for chopping lettuce, but they also do a great job chopping cooked chicken.

Some of our recipes call for cooking whole chicken breasts in the Deep Covered Baker and then chopping them into pieces with the salad choppers.  When I tried this, it worked very well.  I am so happy to have my time in the kitchen be productive and not take hours getting food on the table. 

Having the right tools for the right job makes all the difference.  Just as men need tools to do certain tasks around the home, we women need the right tools to make our kitchen tasks easier.

Mix 'N Chop

A tool that I have had many guests rave about is the Mix 'N Chop.  It is so easy to use to break up any ground meat for recipes, and it distributes seasonings better to make the meat more flavorful.  It can be used to scramble eggs and break up cooked potatoes, too.

The nylon material is safe for nonstick cookware and it is heat resistant to 428 degrees Fahrenheit.

Homemade Egg Rolls

Happy New Year!!

I rang in the new year with some homemade eggrolls - the first time I had ever made those myself. Judging by the ravings of my husband and our guests, they turned out great.
