StayFit Lunch to Go
I picked up some of these containers by StayFit the other day and I gotta say, they work pretty well. And they’re quite inexpensive.
You see, we try to send healthy lunches to school for the boys, but invariably, I hear My cheese was too hot. or My pasta was cold. They say other stuff too, [...]
Batter Bowls and The Perfect Mixing Bowl
I’m still on the hunt for the perfect mixing bowl set.
I used to own one, a stainless steel set made by Farberware and included in my first set of cookware as a bonus. You can’t buy them separately now, and I’m not sure that you ever could, but I want them. And I can’t have [...]

Living Gluten-Free for Dummies
For some people, eating wheat (and rye and barley) is not a choice. Their bodies can’t handle it. And this condition, whether it’s gluten intolerance or full-blown celiac disease, seems to be increasing in prevalence.
Let’s just stop and think about that for a minute. No hot bread, straight from the oven, slathered with butter, the [...]

Oxo Good Grips Citrus Peeler
We still have several more months before the abundance of fruit appears in our local grocery stores. I can hardly wait for the cherries.
Not the tiny little sour pebbles that are in the store right now, for $15 a pound.
Noooooooooooo. The sweet walnut-sized cherries from heaven… that’s what I’m talking about.
For now, we need to [...]

Bagelpod Bagel Slicer
Although I’m certainly eating fewer bagels, like none, these days, my boys still love ‘em dearly. I do miss a nice toasted schmear with cream cheese. If only my body wouldn’t violently reject it. But no.
Anyway.
Real bagels, you know, the kind from the bakery, need to be sliced in order to be toasted. Have you [...]

JAZ Innovations Oven Rack Guard
My fantastic new oven burned me last week. Burned me bad. I still have the scar, although I’m sure, in time, it will fade, as my pain has faded.
Sniff sniff. Waaahhhhh.
Here’s what happened: I was minding my own business, removing a key lime pie from the second rack in the oven, when OW, @#$(*@(#*! , [...]

RoadPro 5027S 12V Smart Car Pot
Back in college, in the olden days, I had a hot pot, affectionately termed Polly Hot Pot (I don’t know we called it that), in which I made everything imaginable, so as to avoid the food in the dorm cafeteria.
Polly Hot Pot never failed. She persevered through it all: mac-n-cheese, Chunky soup, chocolate fondue, hot [...]

Goodbye Detergent Original Spaghetti Scrub
Love clean dishes, but hate those scrubbie sponges that attract all kinds of funk and whatnot after their first use? Me too. And then I wonder if I’m really cleaning my pots and pans or just adding more bacteria than I started with. Ick.
Spaghetti scrub to the rescue. Listen up, because this is unique and [...]
