Aren’t You Glad?

glad-press-n-seal-smallIsn’t that how the commercial goes? “Aren’t you glad you have Glad?” Well, John sure is glad I found this alternative to saran wrap at Costco.

It’s Glad Press ‘N Seal and it works just like saran wrap…well, without the struggle that is. Just ask my son-in-law how much he loves fighting with the saran wrap at meal clean-up time :)

Individual Freezing

John really likes using this wrap to seal and store fresh hamburger patties just as they show on the front of the box. He is extra careful with freezing any foods, so he slips them inside a freezer bag for extra protection.

Cover Your Leftovers

When we have burgers he just cuts them apart with scissors as we use them. No more prying frozen patties apart, that’s a thing of the past. I like to use this wrap to cover bowls of leftovers in the fridge. You don’t have to fight with it like saran wrap, and because you cannot see what is in the bowl you are more likely to check on your leftovers! Isn’t that tricky?

Pancakes on the Griddle

With a family of pancake lovers (my favorite being banana pancakes), it can get really frustrating real quick to use a frying pan to make pancakes.

We like to eat every Sunday breakfast together, so when pancakes are on the menu, we pull out the GE grill. [Read more...]

The Other Man in My Kitchen

george-foreman-g5-grill-smallYes, there is another man in my kitchen, he arrived Christmas of 2007. I love him so much, he is quick, saves power, and he’s easy to clean up!

It’s my George Foreman G-5 Grill!

We use this nifty appliance with the 5 interchangeable grill plates quite a bit. We mostly use the grilling plates and make hotdogs, hamburgers and grilled chicken. It heats up quick and cooks evenly. It comes with a cleaning sponge that wears out quickly, so be prepared to replace it or use a soft sponge to clean it. [Read more...]

The Day I Busted My Blender

Yes, another failed appliances. Are you seeing a trend here? John thinks it’s me, not the appliances. I believe they all just have tantrums or something. So I was attempting to make milkshakes in the Oster blender. Not an Oster blender like I remember my mom having, oh no, this is the new and un-improved, they hope you won’t notice, plastic facade of the blender of yesteryear!

Stop When You See Black Smoke!cusinart-blender

So whirl, whirl around the blade goes, when it’ll chop up the ice no one knows. Soon I have black smoke and a horrible electrical-burning smell surrounding me. What gives? No milkshake for you! Wow, what a disappointment.

Cusinart – Because I’m Worth It

So it takes a few months to get over the thinking that all blenders are built the same. We venture out to see the Cusinart Blender, what a machine! Milkshakes for everyone! Ice chopping is no problem at all! It also came with a food processor attachment, we’ll go into that gadget later. I think we’ll skip the story about the hand mixer…it wasn’t me, it was my daughter that broke that!

My Favorite Box Mix

macaroni-grill-small…and I do have one! If you have ever been to a Macaroni Grill restaurant you know what I”m talking about, excellent pasta!

Their delicious pasta is served to your butcher-paper-covered table and they always give you enough so you can take some home for lunch the following day.
