With all the hustle and bustle getting your family, friends and guests all set up for a fun event, anything that can save you time can help greatly. All throughout the year I am baking, cooking and planning for events whether for a holiday or event. When I come across something that I can pull off as both delicious, inexpensive, time saving and pleasing to the eye, I notice. Working with Mrs. Freshley's over the years I have come to a greater appreciation of the snack cake. Honestly I cannot handle to much sugar and do not like my family over indulging themselves with treats. Mrs. Freshley's however has the most yummy snack cakes that take all that extra work of decorating out of the process. That's why Mrs. Freshley's cupcakes can make your life much easier. Just a topper of your choice really sets off the occasion and that's all you do. Above you see a perfect Patriotic Cupcake ready to intrigue my guests, it took seconds for me to make. Thank you Mrs. Freshley's!

Packing a lunch for my family is a routine I know all too well. Providing a healthy and tasty meal is what helps them get through the day. The last thing my husband or kiddo need after a long morning is a soggy sandwich to look forward to. Typically I make their lunches the night before to avoid any surprises that the morning likes to produce. This saves me an abundance of time and one less task to juggle later. Unfortunately their lunches cannot always have access to a nice cool refrigerated area. This makes a soggy sandwich by the time lunch makes its way around after morning. This will not work at all!

When it comes to grilling, as soon as it hits above seventy degrees outside, it's on! When grilling everyone wants maximum flavor regardless of what you are cooking. Many times you grill items that need their juices but drip right through the grill. You can always use foil but honestly it's a huge hassle compared to this Simple Grillin' BBQ Grill Mat. It comes in sheets that provide a non-stick surface that you can use on Gas, Charcoal or Electric Grills. 

Oh how I love seafood. It can be way too expensive to enjoy on a weekly basis. Or can it? Compared to what you can get at most seafood restaurants, the last thing you think is "Oh I can get that in the freezer section at the grocery store". To be honest, you can! Gorton's make the most yummy seafood you can stick right in your oven. Regardless of the convenience it must be healthy for my family and taste delicious. Let me tell you about my experience with Gorton's.

There is nothing like getting your family a nice pasta dinner together only to drain half of your noodles down the drain. This happens more often than I like to admit.

Monday through Friday my husband and daughter both take a homemade lunch when they leave out home. While my husband is headed to work my daughter is already at school with her lunch in her backpack. Lunch is not for several hours after they have left our house. That makes choices very limited when it comes to what can actually be put in their lunch to eat. Cooler items that can either remain at room temperature or slightly below are the best choices. The fresh factor is what limits every lunch sent out of of your home and on the go. Their is another world of nutritional foods just reaching out but are shunned due to their limits. The days of the old cold sack lunches are behind us now, send a warm lunch out of your home with the wonderful Warmables Lunch Kit!!

Imagine paper thin tomato slices or perfectly diced onions, Shenzhen Ceramic Knives give you precision slicing every time due to ceramic’s special material properties. The blade is made of an advanced ceramic called zirconium oxide that is much harder than steel, and second in hardness to only diamond. Ceramic blanks are produced by dry pressing zirconia powder and subjecting the blanks through an advanced heating process called, sintering. The ceramic blanks are then sharpened and honed to a razor sharp edge and attached to the knife handle. This results in an extremely hard blade that maintains its edge approximately 10-15 times longer than steel knives. That means your ceramic knives can be used longer without resharpening. Ceramic is also non-reactive, which means ceramic knives will not rust and are easy to clean. Because of their resistance to strong oils and acids, they won’t absorb flavors or odors from foods; which won’t leave any after-taste residue on foods that you slice. It also keeps fruit and vegetables from browning as quickly. Unlike ceramic blades, steel blades are porous, and they can sometimes leave behind an after-taste or residue on the food you’re cutting. And due to its softer material, steel blades lose their edge much quicker than a ceramic blade, and they need to be re-sharpened often. Properly cleaning steel knives to prevent rust is a must as well, as they will corrode eventually, unlike ceramic knives. Because you can’t use ceramic knives to chop or cut through bones, cheeses and other hard foods, ceramic knives will never fully replace the steel knife in the kitchen. You will still need to use your steel knife for heavy duty cutting, but Shenzhen Knives are a perfect complement to your steel knives for slicing fruits and vegetables and other precision cutting tasks. Shenzhen Knives is the leading online brand of ceramic knives. As a result of our e-commerce only sales model, we can make high performance ceramic technology available to everyone. Even though ceramic knives were first introduced over 25 years ago, the price has not changed much, even with improvements in ceramic technology and manufacturing. They soon realized that there were so many layers of marketing and distribution. At Shenzhen Knives they do not spend millions on celebrity chef’s endorsements, and avoid brick and mortar retailers who need to add their huge markup to cover their overhead.  Shenzhen feels that such a great product –that doesn’t need to be sharpened as often as a steel knife, and knowing the blade won’t rust – should be in everyone's kitchen.

So your preparing a wonderful meal that you have been working very hard on all day. Adding this ingredient after that ingredient and finally your done. But wait? What the.. Oh my, it isn't at all what it was originally intended to be. Your thinking, "this can't be happening, what went wrong?"

It doesn't need to be that way ever again with the MIRA Digital Kitchen Royal Blue Scale. Let me tell you why...
