Norpro donut maker

Donuts, yum!  We know we’re not supposed to eat them, but they’re so hard to resist.  So how’d you like to make your own so that you’ll at least have some measure of control over what goes into them?  Even if you still don’t have complete control over how many of them go into you!

This Donut Maker gadget comes with instructions and recipes.  It claims to also be a good dispenser for waffle batter, but I mean come on…why?  It’s time to make the donuts!

Only $12 to turn out quick and delicious donuts!

Celebrate food independence!

Local food is good food: good for the farmers, good for the soul, good for your health, and good for the economy.  Kitchen Gardeners International is asking us to source the ingredients for our holiday meals as locally, sustainably and deliciously as possible.  And they are asking the nation’s first families to do it too!

Here’s how you can get involved: You can find all the information on this movement, along with a petition to send to your state’s governor, at the website Food Independence Day.

Earth-friendly Options For Countertops

Sunset Magazine has a wonderful slideshow featuring 17 different and beautiful earth-friendly options for your countertops.  They write: “High style meets sustainable living: find an eco option for every kitchen”.

Shown above is a Squak Mountain Stone product, slabs that are a composite of crushed glass, cement, and ash.

And this beauty is from BottleStone, and is made from recycled glass and ceramics.

Antique-look appliances

Do you own a period home?  We’ve got a Victorian, and no matter how much I want that authentic look, I am simply NOT going to cook on an authentic Victorian stove…if I could even find one.  But how about a new stove that pays homage to period styling?  Try Elmira Stove Works’s custom range creator widget. It’s fun!

You can design your own layout, create an appliance, find a dealer, and get a quote, all at Elmira Stove Works.

Non-stick oven liner

Ohmygosh, how I need this Oven Liner!  I really don’t like using a cookie sheet below my pies because of the way it cuts down on the air circulation.  I never feel like my pies get done properly.  Think of how much time and aggravation this could save you just in cleaning too!

The Liner is reusable and dishwasher safe.  You just stick it on the bottom, under the element or the drip pan if your oven is electric.  If it is gas, or has no visible elements, stick it on the bottom rack.  If one side becomes stained, and it bothers you, just flip it over!
