Rice Cooker

This is my new favorite tool to have in the kitchen and for all the wrong reasons! Have you ever had one of those cravings late at night and could do nothing about it? You know the ones, where you want a big slice of chocolate cake (or any kind)? I know I have and not getting that slice usually meant I had cake on my mind all night. At 10 o’clock at night, who wants to wait around for an hour and a half for a cake to bake and get frosted just to satisfy a craving?

Featured Product: Collapsible Bowls

I have found the perfect bowl. The Pampered Chef has this line of collapsible bowls that have been extremely useful. They are made of this soft silicon style rubber that make it easy to pop them up and down, plus they also come with lids. In three different sizes – 2qt, 4qt and 8qt – they have been great to use for dinner outside by the fire. Swarming flies are no longer issue when having picnics outside. Continue reading

So far, I’ve found a couple that I like: Baked Swiss Pheasant Breasts and Baked Pheasant in Creamy Sauce. Continue reading

Spreading the Love

Just thought I would point everyone to this snazzy article I found about OSC. The site, Cooperation, appears to be about promoting anything and everything Open Source related and I’m thrilled that they spotlighted us on their site. It’s always a good feeling when I find someone out there who gets what I’m actually trying to do.

Cool Whip & Raspberry Summer Sensation

I had completely forgotten about this recipe book I picked up at the grocery store. All it has are recipes made from Jell-O and Cool Whip. A lot of them look really easy, but would make a great presentation. The type of presentation that will make you look like an excellent cook. So I went to the Cool Whip site to see what else they had and I found a lot of great recipes. Continue reading
