This set of glassware has everything I need for now, though I might even buy more pieces eventually. The Pyrex set includes three 2-cup round storage containers, two 7-cup round storage bowls,  two 4-cup round storage containers, and two 1-cup round storage  bowls plus the nine matching blue covers. Pyrex is so easy to use – the glass doesn’t stain or absorb odors plus the dishes can just be popped into the dishwasher for easy clean-up. It’s the perfect Food Storage Container Set for me!

If you’ve got a collection of budget drink recipes handy, it makes sense to mix up a few batches so you have them ready when needed. That way, you’re not tempted to run to the grocery store and buy one of those expensive, and frankly, not so delicious, pre-packaged flavored coffees. Get a few air tight containers, mix up an assortment of flavors, and you’re ready for your next peaceful retreat!

I am so glad that he did because it’s not only a larger capacity, but it’s also programmable. Our old pot didn’t have this feature and I simply can’t believe how convenient it is.  I love waking up to fresh hot coffee waiting for me.  It has a lot of modern features like easy to clean touch pad controls and a digital clock timer with auto-off. My hubby purchased it in white which matches perfectly with the rest of small kitchen appliances. It’s so nice to finally have a large programmable coffee machine in our home.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and put a light coating of cooking spray on a 2-qt baking dish. In a medium to large bowl, mix together the sea salt, baking powder, ground cinnamon and oats. In a separate bowl, combine the almond milk, butter, whipped egg, organic unsweetened applesauce, and brown sugar. (Note: If you’re on a strict cholesterol diet plan, you’ll want to reduce or eliminate the brown sugar since it’s not a good low cholesterol food suggestion.) Now combine the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients and empty into the 2-qt basking dish. Place dish in pre-heated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, take out the backing dish, stir the oatmeal, add in the chopped apple and bake 20 additional minutes. (Note: Top should be lightly browned when done.) If you’re not a fan of apples, you can always replace with blueberries or another fruit of your choice. Enjoy.

Deep frying food can be a messy affair if you don’t have the right equipment.  Not so with the DeLonghi fryer – It seals nicely with a viewing window lid so I can safely keep an eye on the dish as it cooks.  It also has an easy oil drainage system that collects the oil through a nylon filter so I can reuse the oil for my next project if I want to. Our breaded mozzarella sticks and battered catfish pieces turn out fantastic. Plus I don’t have to worry about the kids touching the hot fryer since the outside stays nice and cool.  We’re certainly glad that we purchased this electric deep fryer for our home.
