Toteable Art Easel

When this came in my daughter claimed it as hers. She said this is great for doing art in her room instead of getting out the big easel she can take this out when she is just working on something smaller.

She loves the storage as well as the cover that keeps everything in the right places. She loves that this is adjustable and then folds flat for transportability. The carrying handle is another great extra for being able to tote it where you would like to use it.

For a secondary use this would make a great place to put recipes and store a cookbook on.

You can find this Art Easel on Amazon.

The Perfect Pair

Now this is something that I am really in love with. I can get my roasts ready, stick in my probe, set my iPad mini, plop the roast in the oven, and go about other things while waiting for my roast to reach the perfect temperature.

Handy suction cup keeps it attached to the counter, the thermometer is attached to a cord that reaches into the oven with plenty of room to spare. The Meat claws are great for making shredded pork, chicken, or beef. Makes a job just a bit easier then using regular dinner forks.

A perfect pair for the meat eaters out there.

Let your children pretend to cook

This is such a cute set. Like I said in my video I have never seen a spaghetti spoon in a kids set before so this is my favorite piece. For my 7 years old she loves that this looks just like the set mommy has and the pot holder is also one of her favorite pieces.

This set would be great for home or school use. I think Kitchen centers are just one of the biggest and nicer toys to have for an inside toy for your children. This is where children learn to plan and make meals.

The introduce their dolls or friends playing to new foods that they sometimes are trying on their own. Hey if their doll likes it they might eat it the next time it is served to them. Realistic playware like this set here is a great addition to the kitchen center.

My daughter loves to bring me bowls of homemade pretend soup she has made, new pastries, tea, as well as all other sorts of foods for me to try. I love that this set is so close to the real thing but in a child size.

Our family does a lot of cooking and baking, something is always going on in the kitchen. With that comes lots of messes and going through lots of measuring cups and measuring spoons. I really like that the Kitchen Zest Measuring Spoons comes with a large round keychain hook so that all of my measuring spoons stay together.

In the past I have had my husband make me some kind of holder for my measuring spoons. I won't even look at measuring spoons that don't have someway I can join the whole set together. When you have children learning how to cook and bake you need to have something that keeps your items together so they don't get separated and lost.

The Kitchen Zest Measuring spoons come in two colors. I chose black because it goes with my kitchen better, but they do have green for those who like green better.

Microwaveable too

As a wife, mother, and baker I love product that can do multiple things. With the Gourmery Baking Mats I can be sure to be able to use this product for more then just baking. This is the first set of baking mats that I have seen that are microwave safe. Want to cut down on clean up time in your microwave stick one of these on the bottom works great.

These can be used up to 4,000 times but I am thinking they can be used even longer then that depending on care and what they are used for. My children also use these when they are playing with play doh on the kitchen table. We use them for cutting cookies, rolling out dough, and have even come in handy when we needed an extra spot to place cookies to cool out of the oven.

Clean up is a breeze with soapy water or just toss in your dish washer for those lucky enough to have one. We use our several times a week.

You can purchase Gourmery Baking Mats on Amazon.

It's truly an invaluable tool in the kitchen. You can use for all types of treats including cookies, pastries, homemade pizza, potatoes, and much more. Nothing sticks, the food slides without a fight.

You can reuse it up to 4,000 times. There is no more need for wasteful parchment papers.

It's BPA Free, FDA and LFGB certified. You can use it on your oven and freezer.

Easy to clean, just use soap and water, and you're done. It's also dishwasher safe.

Pratipad Multipurpose Silicone Pot Holder

Personally I use the silicone mitts but my husband finds that they are too tight on his hands and hard to get off so he prefers regular pot holders, so he was very excited to see these come in and said throw away the old cloth square pot holders and make room for these.

He is funny and when he likes something he really likes something. So these pot holders have been claimed by him even through they are purple and a greyish blue. Hey he can't have everything. These are great for baking, cooking, and opening jars. We also use these as trivets to protect our table from hot pans while eating dinner.

Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer

OK so I admit I overcook veggies a lot but I like them mushy, raw, and any where in between. Just with 6 children and a house to run the veggies usually suffer for it. In steps the steamer. I have had a few over the years but this one is really nice because it pretty much fits into all of my pans so I don't have to get out our big steamer when I only need to do a little.

I use my silicone mitts to take the steamer out as it does get very hot, something they could make a little better but other then that I really love this steamer and my family loves the steamers we have because they aren't stuck with eating mushy veggies that have sat in water way too long.

You can purchase the Stainless Steel Vegetable Steamer on Amazon.
