One item that every kitchen needs is a high-quality cutting board. Here in my home, I have two cutting boards and both sit out on my kitchen counter full-time. Every day I am cutting up fresh fruits, vegetables, breads, meat and a whole host of other things.
The reason I always keep two cutting boards on hand is for the simple fact that I use one for raw meats and one for everything else. All of the professional chefs that I know, also recommend that you use two.
Cutting Board USA sells quality kitchen cutting boards and all of them are made right here in the good old U.S.A. Buying USA made is important to me so I was pretty happy to have found this particular company.
The kitchen cutting boards that they sell are made from walnut & maple and come in a wide variety of shapes, styles and sizes. Many of them can be customized for a truly personalized look or for a special gift to a loved one.
For review, I was sent a complimentary Arched Maple Wood Cutting Board that measures 9″ wide by 12″ tall by 3/4″ thick. The perfect size for my small kitchen counter and for everyday tasks. One side has liquid grooves to catch liquids/juices and the other side (totally reversible) is flat and makes a great serving board for breads, veggies and cheeses.
Since receiving this cutting board, it has been my “go-to” board! I have used it to cut fresh fruits, vegetables, to slice bread, cheese and all kinds of things. I love the size of this board and it is very light-weight. It doesn’t slide around my counter, even when wet! Yay! It is beautiful and I love letting it sit out on my counter all of the time. Fabulous piece!

A few months ago I reviewed a fantastic foldable sport wagon from The Wagon Store which has become my grand daughter’s best friend! Seriously, she loves to ride around in the new wagon every time we hit the flea market, beach, neighborhood park, take walks, etc. …
A year ago we moved into our new house and since that time we have suffered with disgusting well water. We installed a water filtration system and had terrible results with it. Due to the poor results, we reserved ourselves to buy bottled water which has been expensive.
For the past few months hubby has been reading a ton of reviews and doing a lot of research on under-the-counter water filtration systems and finally contacted Aquasana about doing a review. He was over joyed when they agreed!
If you have never heard of Aquasana let me tell you a little bit about them. They sell all kinds of water filtration systems for your home. You can find under-the-counter models, above counter models, whole house water filters, shower filters, replacement filters and much more! They really are your one-stop shop for these types of products.
A few weeks ago we were sent the 3-Stage Under Counter Water Filter System from Aquasana to review for all of you. It currently comes in 3 different faucet finishes and we selected the brushed nickel so it would match our sink and other faucets that we have.
Product Description: Get more from their best performing water filter with their 3-Stage Drinking Water System. This system features the superior water filtration of their 2-Stage system plus increased capacity to 600 gallons and an additional pre-filter to catch sediment and reduce clogging of system.
* The 20 micron pre-filter removes rust, sediment and silt that can quickly clog your water filter and reduce its effectiveness.
* The Faster flow rate provides clean, healthy water fast! The Aquasana 3-stage water filter features a 25% increase in flow rate to 0.5 gallons per minute.
* The designer faucet has all metal construction.
* Easy to install and includes everything you need to get delicious filtered
water from the convenience of your tap in less than an hour.
* Easy-change filters make replacements a snap! Intelligently engineered so all you need to do is a simple quarter turn of the new cartridge housing for easy removal. No need to disconnect hoses or water lines.
Our Thoughts: Our order quickly arrived to our home. Hubby was hoping to get it installed right away but we were bombarded with terrible winter weather and had power issues for a few days. Once the weather cleared up, he got busy!
I stood in the kitchen the entire time and watched him install the system. I thought it would be a complicated process but seriously, I could of done it myself if I had realized how easy it was to install. It only took him about 15 or 20 minutes, it took longer for me to clean out my cabinet underneath the sink than what it did for him to install the system! Geesh, at least it is all nice, clean and organized now!
Within minutes of him installing it, we were enjoying fresh, clean and great tasting water from our kitchen sink! Oh my gosh! The cloudiness was gone, the odor to the water was gone and it was crystal clear! Frankly, it now tastes better than the bottled water we had been purchasing for the past few months!
It is so nice to have great tasting water again here in our home! We have found that we are even drinking more water & forgetting all about the “icky” stuff in our refrigerator. Water is something that is precious and we all need to be drinking a lot of it and it needs to be great tasting & healthy water for us. This is exactly what you get from Aquasana!
This is a bargain and a money-saver for those of you who like me…were buying bottled water and lugging it home! Gone are those days for us! It has a 6 month filter life and I guarantee you…we will be buying our filters regularly when they need replaced & getting them from Aquasana! This has been a god-send for us and we highly recommend this product and this company to all of you!
