nutripro feature

I was recently sent a Bella Nutripro juicer to try out.  Actually, I shouldn’t say recently, since it sat in the box for about a month… taxes, site redesign and a host of other things teamed with my reluctance to mess around with what I thought was going to be a complicated and hard to [...]

Alright, that is not a very friendly zen-like title, but I am up to my eyeballs in kitchen clutter and something’s got to give. Looks like that is going to be me.

Grilling season is now in full swing, and I couldn’t be happier.  There is nothing like relaxing outside, while my daughter plays and dinner is on the grill.  It is one of my favorite things about summer, and this year I am better prepared than ever.

I enjoy cooking, so kitchen gifts are always appreciated, but like many people who are avid enthusiasts of most anything, I already have a good amount of equipment for my favorite pass time.  One way to ensure the gift you give, will stand out and not be something they already have several of, is to [...]

About a week ago, as I was folding laundry in the basement, water began to drip through the floor above me.  I was running a dishwasher load at the time, so this was a rather bad sign.  I went upstairs and sure enough, the dishwasher was leaking water all over the floor… ugh.  Spewing a [...]

I was recently sent a NewAir AIC-210 Ice Cream Maker for review.  This ice cream maker is much different than the one my parent’s used when I was a child.  Memories of packing salt and ice into the sides of the old style ice cream makers , and waiting for hours to have any ice cream [...]
