Joy in my Kitchen

I am like my Dad, I love gadgets, especially kitchen gadgets. I like ones that actually help make a job easier and don't break right aways. So I thought I would show you a few things in my kitchen that I love that make my time in here just that much more fun.

This is my Ninja  Blender. It pulverizes frozen fruit and ice in seconds. Smoothies is now a big thing in our house. My only complaint about it is the square design of the pitcher. I have to stop it while making smoothies to get food out of the corners that isn't mixing in.

And that is my daughter "patiently" waiting for her mango strawberry smoothie.

This is the middle knife thingy of my Ninja, see all those knives? Awesome!

Tupperware Counterscaping containers. The liquid ones on the left are air tight and have a great pouring spout. An easy flip top lid you can flip and pour and close with one hand. The round jars on the right have a small scoop held in the lid. These look great and now make things quicker for cooking.

This straw holder is now used a lot since smoothies have made their debut. Again looks good and is easy to grab a straw without touching so many in a box. 

ah yes..the Cherry Chomper.  Put the fruit in the mouth, push the head down and it pits the cherries, pits go down into the bottom which you just dump out. I have a son that doesn't really like fruit and if it is a process to eat it, he won't eat it at all. No matter if he likes the fruit or not. So when I found this little guy that pits cherries, it made it fun. Now cherries are consumed quite readily and make it easy for me when making desserts with cherries. The kids ask if they can help me with this part. Found this guy at Home Outfitters for $20.
