Hori Hori Knife

When I received the Hori Hori Gardening Knife, I had no idea just how useful it would be. I only wish we had it when we started to plant our garden. This will be a nice product to work with next year when we plant our garden from the built in measuring depth to the sharp edges.

When I say sharp I mean sharp, please keep away from children, also store in a safe place. Even though this is meant for gardening it could easily be considered a weapon. It has both a serrated as well as straight edge.

Great for gardening, fishing, hunting, camping, or for the survivalists out there. This would make a great gift for your favorite outdoorsman.

You can buy the Hori Hori Knife on Amazon.

The hori hori digging tool is a cross between a trowel and a knife - the best garden tool for digging, planting, weeding, and dividing.

The hori hori knife blade is 7.5 inches (19cm) long, and made of sturdy stainless steel with a mirror polish finish. It has a straight edge and a serrated edge - ideal for sawing through tough roots (for instance when dividing clump forming perennials) and other gardening jobs.

The Sensei Hori Hori knife has a tough contoured and textured handle so that you have a firm grip that never slips, making it the ultimate gardener knife. It's also cold-resistant, and suitable for all weathers.

The knife blade has a depth scale marked on one side, so you know exactly how deep you're digging - especially useful when planting bulbs.

Comes with a black mock-leather sheath (with belt loop) for storage and carrying.

As well as gardening, this versatile knife is great to take with you when camping, hunting, fishing or any other outdoor activities.

Precision Elite Food Thermometer

Grilling season is upon us so that means lots of BBQ's and that ups the chances of getting sick from under cooked meat. I am not really talking too much about beef but more along the chicken and pork products that are out there.

A meat thermometer could save you from being sick, and can be used when ever you are cooking meat or anything really that you would need to monitor during cooking, baking, or grilling.

Years ago one of the places we rented had a oven problem and even though we kept out pork chops in way longer then they needed to be, I still came down with Toxoplasmosis, with my already low immune system I got really sick and a few months later when they found out why I was sick I was also pregnant which is a big concern.

They did some tests and it came back that I had it long before I got pregnant so the baby would be safe, but for me I would have a long road of recovery. We traced it back to the night of never getting done pork. Every since we have been really big about out pork being cooked well, as well as many of the other meat products we eat, except for beef which I eat medium.

OK so if you are going to grill a good thermometer is what you need. The Precision Elite food thermometer is one of those choices. Easy to use and can be used for many items. I love that it comes with a case, something I haven't seen with other digital thermometers yet. Happy Grilling and keep it safe.

You can purchase the Precision Elite Food Thermometer on Amazon.

Ground Beef dinners made easy

One thing I try to do it feed our family healthier food. I like to use fresh hamburger to make burgers, meatballs, meatballs, stuffed peppers, etc, when we can. When the prices dip we stock up and fill our freezer. Sometimes we buy premade patties or meatballs, but they never taste the same as homemade.

I actually prepare my meatloaf except for the cooking part before freezing, same with stuffed burgers, regular burgers, meatballs, and stuffed peppers. I take fresh peppers when they are on sale stuff them and just freeze them in zip plastic bags for a meal ready to make by adding a jar of sauce and some cut up potatoes before baking. Add a salad and you have a whole meal.

The Yumms burger press makes it easy to make regular burgers, seasoned burgers, or our beloved stuffed burgers. All you need to do is add your burger, press, release, and you are ready to make another. Yes it is that easy.

You can purchase the Yumms Burger Press on Amazon.

What Yumms has to say about their product.
If you're a burger enthusiast, our gourmet hamburger press will make it ridiculously easy to cook flawless burgers for years. You'll quickly see for yourself how the exceptional design molds and presses ground hamburger meat into perfect patties... time after time... to create the ULTIMATE burger experience. The secret behind it is a special lifter that grates the patty so it COOKS EVENLY and produces an identical, consistent round shape... every time. You'll find this easy grip lifter makes it effortless to remove the formed patty... without ever touching the meat or struggling with the patties sticking to the press. On top of that, you can also choose the thickness you prefer, thin or thick, with 4.5" diameter burgers (perfect for fitting buns). Now, you might be thinking you can make patties with just your bare hands. But the truth is the press makes it a thousand times quicker and easier... and for a much better end result. Plus, if you're not a meat lover you can still use the press with salmon, crab cake or any of your favorite foods. Most importantly, you can also be assured of the quality of the press too... as it's made from thick, heavy-duty, BPA free white plastic that can handle regular use over a long period. For those of you who hate cleaning up afterwards and dealing with mess, the press is dishwasher safe and super easy to clean. And as a special extra bonus you'll also receive a FREE 10 gourmet burger recipe cookbook - which is our gift to you for being our customer. This cookbook will allow you to start cooking burgers immediately. In summary... the "Yumms! Hamburger Press" is exceptionally well designed, but at the same time it's also well priced. Finally, it's a RISK-FREE PURCHASE as it comes with a lifetime guarantee where we'll refund 100% your money if you're not satisfied for any reason... no questions asked.

Titan Military 550 Paracord

I have to be honest and let you know I wanted this so that my daughter could learn how to make military survival bracelets, but since receiving this to review. I have learned that there are so many uses other then making bracelets it.

I really like the strap that comes with this Paracord because it keeps the cord together so it doesn't unravel and make a big mess, or worse get knotted. I will upload some pictures of bracelets once we find out where to get the clip attachments.

Camping Folding Shovel Pick With Compass

What my husband liked about this Camping Folding Shovel Pick with Compass is the portability as well as usefulness.

Less then a minute to assemble.

Yumms BBQ Grilling Mat Video

You can purchase the Yumms! BBQ Grilling Mat on Amazon.

What Yumms Gourmet Grilling has to say about their product.
If you'd like to transform your outdoor grill into a handy, non-stick cooking surface, the "Yumms BBQ Grilling Mats" will make cooking a breeze by preventing food falling through the cracks... so you can avoid the frustration of wasting perfectly good food. On top of that, you'll also love the even heat distribution (with grill marks) that provides added flavor by cooking the meat in its natural juices... resulting in delicious food cooked to perfection time after time. Importantly, the food will not become mangled or burnt, and it will be easy to flip over whilst still remaining intact. The primary reason for this is the ingenious non-stick surface that is made from a material similar to Teflon. This surface is both dishwasher safe and hand washable, which makes it effortless to keep clean... and continually reuse over and over again for decades. These versatile mats come in a set of 2 which can be cut and modified to fit any size or type of grill. Plus, for peace for mind, the mats are FDA approved and can withstand heat up to 450 degrees F. As for storage, the mats can easily be stored either flat or rolled up (including the trunk of your car)... which makes them perfect for picnics or any other outdoor activity. In summary, you get all of these incredible benefits without the mess and frustration you've probably experience with cooking food on the grill before. And you never know when you're going to need them either. Rather than being caught out by attempting to grill on a public barbeque, it makes sense to have it handy when you need it. Plus, the fact they come with a lifetime guarantee means it's a RISK FREE PURCHASE. You simply can't lose. Because if you're ever unsatisfied for any reason, you can always return them for a 100% refund... no questions asked.

Yumms! BBQ Grilling Mat

Our family happens to prefer an indoor grill so that I can grill without a chance of having a fire. Well I haven't had one since grilling inside anyways. We have a favorite grill that we replace every so many years because we wear it out. Ours turns over so that I have a griddle side as well. This side doesn't wear as fast but the grill side does. With the Yumms! BBQ Grilling Mat I can cut it to size and have two mats for my grilling side so that my grill will last longer.

The only thing I don't like about these mats is that I lose the grilling marks on my meat, other then that it tastes just as good. These can also be used on outdoor grills, both gas and not. Being versatile is also a big seller on this.

We usually use one to cut on and one to grill with, they wash up much quicker then my grill so I can enjoy my food instead of having to worry about the clean up.

You can purchase the Yumms! BBQ Grilling Mat on Amazon.

What Yumms Gourmet Grilling has to say about their product.
- Now you can bake or grill anything without it falling in the grill
- Grill fish, veggies, shrimp, and much, much more. Cook the smallest, most delicate foods with ease
- Safe for indoor and outdoor Use. Use on ANY type of grill-gas, iron, or electric
- Take it anywhere you go and make EVERY grilling experience special-picnic, park vacation, etc.

Why we use Mosquito Repellent Bracelets

The first time I remember seeing Mosquito Repellent Bracelets was at my Uncle's 4th of July party. What a great idea. Much better then spraying your child with pesticides all over their body. Now you can just have them wear it on their wrist or on their ankle. I like the latter better because then there is less of a chance of my child having the bracelet come in contact with their eyes or their food, which makes me feel more at ease.

What is really great is that once you break the seal on the package your bracelet comes in, it will last 200 hours which means your child or other loved ones will have protection for days to come. Now if they could come out with something like this to keep ticks off or bees away we would be all set for summertime fun.

You can purchase Mosquito Repellent Bracelet on Amazon.

What Bug Bracelets has to say about their product.

18" BBQ Grill Brush with Scraper

Cleaning the grill has to be one of the hardest things to do. My husband usually does this and before him my father did the grill cleaning. It is a good thing I don't because it would have to be spotless every time before we grilled. I have learned that grills never look like new after using them even once.

I really like that this has a long handle which means there is less chance of getting burned as it seems most people like to clean the grill while it is hot.

Insulated Cooler

Working with Big Easy Brands as well as Sacko and being able to try out their products and then telling my readers about the products has been a pleasure. I really like this round insulated cooler which is a bit different then traditional coolers but in a good way. No edges to bounce into your side while carrying which means less bruises for me.

I also like how this fits just about anywhere we need to sit it. Compact but at the same time roomy inside. It also has a elastic mess pocket for napkins or anything else you would like to include with your cooler.

This is the perfect companion for a day in the park with your family. Enough drinks for everyone and even a snack or two can fit.
