Last month my toaster oven finally bit the dust. I had that particular appliance for 9 years and absolutely loved it. Yes, it was old but it was easy to use and got the job done! It was made by Hamilton Beach and I knew …
Have you ever heard of a noodle board? I had never heard of them until a few months ago. They’re handcrafted wooden boards with handles that fit across the top of your stove. This wooden tray (cover) gives the home cook more counter space when …
I use a vegetable peeler several times a week, even more when it’s canning season. I use them to peel eggplants, zucchinis, cucumbers, carrots, red beets, turnips, potatoes, etc. It’s much safer to use a sharp vegetable peeler to remove skin than using a sharp knife. At least, that’s my personal opinion.

For the past 15+ years I’ve been using the Tupperware Universal Vegetable Peeler and love it. Matter of fact, I own three of them and have given them as gifts. They fit comfortably in my small hands and are easy to use. The blade is incredibly sharp and glides through whatever you’re peeling. There’s a little circle on the end that you can use to remove eyes and tough spots on your veggies.
These veggie peelers are the best I’ve ever used and they last a really long time. I had one that didn’t need replaced for 6 years and trust me…I’m hard on my peelers! You can hand wash them to help them stay nice and sharp or wash in the dishwasher. I personally hand wash and air dry. You want to keep them protected just like a sharp knife so I keep mine in my knife drawer.
I’ve used more expensive vegetable peelers and cheaper ones over the years and none of them worked as nicely as the one from Tupperware. Plus…the price point is something that we can all afford. If you’re looking to buy a new one…this is the one I personally buy, use and recommend to others.

Once you have met with your contractor and finalized a start date for your kitchen renovation, it is important to begin the preparations for construction. Kitchen renovations can not only be stressful and overwhelming, but they can be messy and inconvenient as well, so the …
When I was a little girl I used to assist my grandmother with her home canning activities. I believe I was around 10 years old when I was exposed to canning for the first time. After she passed my father-in-law picked up where Grandma left off. I’m not an expert canner by any means but I’m pretty experienced and I keep up-to-date on the trends.

In early December I was on the hunt for some new pint-size glass mason jars and picked up several 4-packs made by Ball. Why Ball? I’ve used several brands over the years but find Ball to be the most reliable. They don’t crack, chip or break easily. I’ve never had a Ball jar stain or discolor either!
The jars I picked up were from a limited edition called Sharing Jars from their design series Collection Elite. For every package you purchased you automatically donated 4 meals to Feeding America. They come in a unique and elegant shape which made them perfect for my holiday gifting.
Made in the U.S.A. and BPA Free. They came with the new and improved SureTight Lids which helps to keep your canned food sealed for up to 18 months instead of the normal 12. They’re regular mouth and will work with all of your home canning accessories with no problem at all.
So…what did I use them for? I made a double batch of my Aloha Pineapple Jam and presented my delicious homemade jam in these beautiful jars! You can use them for other things (besides canning) like wax poured candles, bath salts, etc. They’re dishwasher, freezer, refrigerator and canning safe!
I’m hoping that when Fall rolls around again that I can find this particular style of mason jars again. My jam looked beautiful inside! I can see using them for jam, jelly, marmalade, relish, pickles, candied fruits, etc. Absolutely perfect for anything you want to gift!

I’m a big fan of Tupperware products and currently have over 50+ pieces in my home. They make the best kitchen storage containers in my honest opinion and I love their lifetime warranty on many of the pieces that they sell. Over the years if …
