#0979014 MSRP $39.99 

My Thoughts 

I got to test out the Salt Mill and it's awesome. If you enjoy fresh ground salt or pepper,  you need to have one of these in your kitchen. It crushes spices to just the right consistency. The pieces are never too big or too small. The blades are sharp, but designed so that it's both safe and functional. It comes with pink salt , but if you enjoy grinding other herbs, like cloves, pepper, or anything else you can think of, this will work just as well.

As for the salt, I could go on and on about Pink Himalayan Salt. Real salt is crucial to our body's well-being and this container is huge!! This will last me for months because it's much more potent than your typical table salt that you buy at the store. Who doesn't love a little pink sprinkled on their food anyway? It's fun!!

Kangovou Dishware - Mother's Day Gift Guide

Kangovou's mission is to create high quality food-grade stainless steel dishware products that areBPA, PVC, phthlatate, lead, and melamine free.

Kangovou dishware products are made from quality food-grade, Type 304, 18/8 stainless steel.

Why is this important?

Because you want the surface your food touches to be BPA free, naturally anti-bacterial and to not leach chemicals. Kangovou food-grade stainless steel provides these benefits and is also light weight, durable, does not rust, cleans easily with soap and water, and is top shelf dishwasher safe.

Kangovou outer jackets are BPA, PVC, and phthalate free. Kangovou uses materials which are free of bisphenol-A, polyvinyl chloride and the chemical phthalate.

Bisphenol-A and polyvinyl chloride are plastics used for making PVC pipes, DVDs and CD’s. Phthalate is a chemical which helps plastics bend.

Additionally, the Kangovou outer jacket prevents the transfer of heat, cold and condensation.

Our Thoughts

I have been wanting a set of these types of containers for a long time! I hate using plastic, it just cakes on grease and it leeches nasty chemicals into your food. I love the sleek design of Kangovou's products and these containers hold a lot! I know this is the kids line, but as you can see below, they are sufficient for an adults meal. The soup and salad photo was my lunch and the container photo was my husband's lunch and we both were sufficiently full with the amount of food that fit into these.

This line holds a lot of food, is appealing to the eye, is very easy to clean, and the compartments hold adequate portions. It's great that it's separated in the try because lots of kids don't like their foods touching, the other flat tray is great for like pasta and things of that nature that you don't care about touching. You wouldn't even use all of these containers at once for a child's meal, not even for an adults meal so this is also great for picnic-ing because you can take a lot of food.

The lid clasps on so that food doesn't spill out, which I think is amazing. I throw the containers in my purse for lunch and don't worry about it spilling out at all. It's also very easy to interchange the divided tray and the main tray. 

I like to hand wash all the items, it just takes a simple wipe with some hot soapy water and they come clean, food being stuck on hasn't been an issue. The hardest thing to clean is the cup but even that isn't hard as long as you clean it after each use.

These are GREAT for busy families and busy moms and for lunches at school or work. Very versatile and I love the color, very unisex! 

Buy yours here and don't forget to check them out on Facebook, and Twitter!

My Thoughts

What a great idea ! Pizza is one of life's greatest inventions. I'm originally from New York I relocated to Cape May New Jersey in 2000, and I have to tell you their pizza cant hold a candle to N.Y.'s pizza. With A 10,11 and 15 year old in the house pizza is always a hit. But these days it can also cost alot lot of money even one pizza night can be up to $25. But Your Slyce Eliminates 
that expense.

I've had  my kids friends over and it's always a challenge trying to narrow down what kind of pizza to order everybody wants a different kind,  well no more Your Slyce allows you to make each pizza exactly what each kid wants you can personalize it is much as you want ! My kids and I have used Your Slyce so many times since we received it we don't even put it away!

In today's world everyone is rushing around rushing through life not able to just stop and have a conversation. Well Your Slyce allows my kids and I to have a wonderful bonding time. While we're making our personalized pizza we can talk and laugh and joke around and it just really makes for a nice bonding time for  the kids and I. It's absolutely wonderful to have something to do with the family that doesn't involve screen time! 

What I like to do for our pizzas is I buy sauce and other ingredients from  my local favorite Italian restaurant. This makes our pizza exactly what we want and it tastes absolutely delicious. Your Slyce is also a 100% percent food grade, nonstick silicone, it is also dishwasher safe for easy cleanup, very flexible so you can store it  anywhere. Any time with my kids that we can have fun is an absolute plus if you have kids this is an absolute great  idea allowing you to spend quality family time and have a wonderful pizza night!

My Thoughts

I was excited to get to try out all of these great little kitchen gadgets. Each one of them found a home in my kitchen in no time and was being used.

The wine charms are adorable and a great way to be able to mark wine glasses when you have friends over. They were well made, easy to put on, and very cute.

The multi-use tie has been a lifesaver when the bread tie goes missing and we need to get the bag closed so the air doesn't get to it. The tie was easy to use, even my kids could figure it out.

The zest grader did a great job zesting. I've never really used a zester, so I didn't know what to expect, but I used a lemon peel on it to test it out. I really liked the fresh lemon scent when using it.

The flex pot grip was AWESOME! Especially when making a sauce. I didn't have to set it on the counter and keep leaving little stains. It dripped into the pot and I was happy to not have such a mess to clean up later!

I haven't had a chance to try out the dripless spout, but looking at it, it does appear to be universal to different bottles and would go on easy. Its soft and would be easily washable if changing between different oils and dressings.

And finally, the cookie cutters. I haven't made cookies yet with them, but I do plan to soon. They are made of a nice metal and come in 5 different sizes. They have a rubber coat around them and are sharp enough to go through the dough, but wouldn't cut little hands.

All of these are really great products and would make great stocking stuffers for the cook in your life.

My Thoughts

This coffee maker is awesome! It has so many amazing features. First, I'm excited to have a coffee pot that goes off on a timer. It was really easy to set, and it's great to have your coffee waiting as soon as you get up in the morning. Because sometimes it's hard to make a cup of coffee before you've had a cup of coffee. You can even program different settings for the weekdays and the weekends. But that is only the beginning of the perks with this coffee maker. I really love the coffee customization which allows you to choose the strength of your coffee so you can have either regular or bold, depending on your personal taste.

The special brewing process definitely makes a difference. I've noticed that my coffee has a fuller, more robust flavor, no matter what brand I use.  I really love the brewing pause and serve option. My teenagers are notorious for yanking the coffee pot off the machine in the middle of brewing. Then I have coffee everywhere and, of course, they never clean it up. I also love the sturdy twelve cup pot which is dishwasher safe. The large pot is great for when we have company, but I also love that it was the option of brewing smaller batches for the days that it's just me enjoying my coffee.

If you still aren't impressed,  there is more to love. The reusable coffee filter basket is on the top, allowing for easy filling and removal. Clean up is also a breeze. There is an indicator that lets you know when the coffee maker needs to be descaled. 

These are only a few of the awesome features. Yet, none of  this would matter if you didn't have a great cup of coffee waiting for you at the end of the process. And guess what? You will. Ever single time you use this machine, you are pretty much guaranteed the perfect cup.  Taste will vary depending on the brand of coffee you prefer, but using the most common name brands, my coffee has been just the way I like it every morning--strong, warm, fresh and delicious. You simply can't go wrong with this coffee maker.
