Kitchen Gadgets

Here are my four top items that are a must for my kitchen and where I found them. 
I couldn't imagine life without these three little beauties...

The best chopper I have found!
It makes my Chocolate Shakes quickly!

I love this chopped. It handles everything I put in it so well. I love having the smaller containers for items like one onion or a handful of garlic. It is quick and easy and I love just popping it in the top of the dishwasher for cleaning. 

This is my choice for my Chocolate Shakes. The ice comes out so like fine dust. It helps to make my drinks creamy and decadent. 

Here is the QVC link where I found my set. 

I love, love, love my Weber grill. 

It is a tabletop version and cooks like a dream. It is easy to clean and is just large enough for a family of four. If you don't have much outside space for a full-sized grill, check out this one!

You can't have a great kitchen without a Microplane!

I use my microplane for so much. You need to invest in one! It is great for mincing garlic, whole nutmeg, lemon and lime zesting, and even chocolate. I must admit, I use it mostly for garlic, which I love freshly grated, and for whole nutmeg. The nutmeg is a must for white sauce for mac and cheese...yes I make my own from scratch when I have the time.

There are many brands out on the market in many price ranges. Just have fun looking and pick one you think will be the most versatile, I know kitchen storage space is always at a premium, but this gadget is worth it!

Here is a link to QVC where I found a set of three that I love!

Collapsible Silicone Colanders...I love our new uses for silicone!

The new silicone colanders that collapse to a small dinner plate size are fantastic! No more trying to find room to store another large bowl. Just mashed these down and put them in a drawer for quick storage and use. 

I have two sizes, one for larger portions, like a pound of cooked pasta or dozen oranges, and a small one for more individual servings of fruit, pasta, and draining canned veggies. 

They come in a variety of fun colors to mix and match with your kitchen decor and are dishwasher safe in the top rack.
