I have been using the Grocery IQ app on my iPhone for years. I started using it way back when I had my iPod Touch; I believe I even paid $1.99 for it back then (and worth every penny), but it’s FREE now! They do add a bit of “advertising” but after awhile, it’s not [...]

Williams Sonoma Outlet – 60% Off All Staub Cast Iron Cookware!
Whoo hoo! My cast iron collection is complete! Just bought a Staub 6.25 qt round and 11 inch gratin pan. I am thrilled! (EDIT: my Williams Sonoma receipt states 7qt, but matching the # to the Staub brochure, it states 6.25qt. It’s probably only 6.25 usable, but to fill to the top, it’s 7 qt) [...]
Le Creuset Stoneware Baking Dish
I bought my Le Creuset stoneware 9inch square baking dish for a bargain price at Home Goods and it is my favorite baking dish. I have been using it for at least a year or two, and I think my favorite use is roasting vegetables – it cleans up very easily too. I’ve also baked [...]
Moved the Oven Outside!
Last summer I did this, and it worked so well. Today, I moved my smaller counter-top oven outside to our enclosed porch. This way I can still cook in the oven and the house won’t get too steamed up!

Ordered West Bend 41300 Bread Machine
Well I did it, I ordered a new bread machine! My older Breadman bread maker seemed to be on its last legs. I know I’ve been saying that for months, but it just keeps on going! My husband has tinkered with it several times bringing it back to life when I thought it was a [...]
My Oven Died!
Yikes, this is not the week for kitchen electronics. Don’t things happen in threes? Uh oh, what else can go wrong? First my bread machine bit the dust (thankfully, DH fixed that, albeit temporary) and now my beloved Hamilton Beach counter top convection oven is dead. DH can’t revive it! I used it this morning [...]
Breadman Bread Machine is Finally Dying
Well I wrote about this previously, how my Breadman bread machine just stops working when I’m loaded up and ready to make dough. I’ve now learned to check if it’s working first before I add my ingredients to the bucket. Mike has tried fixing it several times. He has to manually turn the paddles or [...]
