Canister sets come in all types of designs, weights, materials, shapes and colors. I use to have a custom-made set of my own. That means, custom made by me. It was a "set" of four. One piece was a large-sized coffee can, one was a ceramic bowl that had a lid, and two were large Ziploc bags.
My daughter finally twisted my arm toward change with a brand new set of nifty acrylic canisters. You might ask, "What makes them so nifty since they’re only acrylic?" And I would say, "Come on now…I can see through them!"
If the above scenario sounds even a little like you, please check out all of the nifty canister sets that I’ve put together for you. Just think about how nice it’ll be to finally remove the Ziploc bags from your countertop.
Utensil holders are a necessity. At least for me they are. I mean, if my fried egg is ready to be turned, do you expect me to walk seven steps over to the drawer and get one when I don’t have to? I think not.
See, with my utensil holder, it can hold all of the utensils that I use regularly on a daily basis, which of course would include my handy dandy egg turner.
It’s all right there in the holder. All I have to do is reach just a little bit and I can grab anything I like at a moment’s notice. Well not exactly anything I like since I like Richard Gere and Denzel Washington (a lot) and I can’t just reach over and grab them like I’d really like to do. But you understand my point here, right?
I thought that I’d put together a nice page of utensil holders that you might like. Having one will not only free up space in your silverware drawer, but they can be pretty attractive sitting on your countertop.
Hanging or mounting a pot rack in your kitchen should not be done without enlisting the services of a professional. There are quite a few things for you to consider before purchasing a pot rack. I’ll list a few that come to mind:
Adequate load bearing placement on the wall or ceiling for the rack, including the weight of a filled rack
How much weight the rack itself will support once hung or mounted
Enough clearance from cabinets, seating, fridge, etc.
I’ll say it again. You really, really need to enlist the services of a professional before making any firm decisions. Believe me, a professional will keep you from having nightmares. You won’t have to worry about the loaded pot rack falling on your child or anyone else for that matter. You won’t have to worry about damaging your walls or ceiling.
It can be as simple as talking to someone at Home Depot or Lowe’s. They will be happy to assist you or refer you to someone who can give you the best advice.
We love our pot lids but sometimes they can be a little bit pesky when trying to properly store them. They roll, they fall off, and they won’t stack evenly.
They are little disorganizers and I aim to put them in their place! You can too. I’ve gathered a ton of lid storage problem solvers for you to look over. I’m sure that you’ll find something to relieve your lid organization dilemma.
Don’t you just love Buttermilk Pancakes? Slathered with butter and maple syrup? Here’s a quick and easy recipe for your next breakfast. Or lunch. Or dinner. My friend served these the other day and they were so tender and light that I just had to have the recipe to share with you.
You can make these silver dollar sized or saucer sized. You can serve them with crispy bacon or sausage links. Be sure not to overmix the batter though, or you’ll wind up with pancakes the texture of tortillas.
I don’t know about you, but Split Pea Soup is one of my favorite recipes. It’s really funny though because when I was a child, I thought that the mere idea of eating something so green and pukey looking, was absolutely horrific.
Every time my mom made this soup, I just knew that I was in big trouble. I just knew that I had done something terribly wrong and that feeding me split pea soup was her covert way of punishing me. Big time. There was no other explanation for it. I’d rather have taken a whipping for this awful thing I must have done rather than eating such an awful, thick, and lumpy looking concoction in my bowl.
