Kitchen peelers



Having a peeler handy can really help out with food preparation. If you have children helping out this kind of peeler is much easier to use then a paring knife.

I think all of my children started with a peeler just like this, minus the sharp spike which is great to use to crack eggs open by the way.

I usually just crack my eggs in one hand while baking, but my children are still learning and this helps them out greatly in cracking eggs.

Love that this is easy to clean and store. We keep our peelers right in our utensil turntable on the counter for easy access.



You can purchase the SIWU Vegetable and Fruit peeler on Amazon.

What SIWU has to say abou their product.

Ergonomically designed handle has a pleasing heft in your hand and is constructed of durable metal with a brushed satin finish.Streamlined profile adds a contemporary touch to your kitchen décor. Weighs a solid 2.6 ounces and measures a little over 6 inches long. Cutting blade measures 1.75 inches across

Unlike other peelers, the ultra sharp stainless steel cutting blade is mounted in metal (not plastic) for long-lasting durability. Nonslip black plastic ribbing on the top of handle gives you a firm grip for professional-style peeling. The blade is positioned perpendicular to the handle to make the most efficient slicing motion. So you can julienne and peel like the pros!

It's super easy to cut eyes out of a potato with the handy micro triangular knife point on the side of the peeler. You can also use it to knick the rinds of oranges, lemons, and other citrus fruits for easy peeling.
Peel vegetables and fruits with remarkable ease to cut down on your preparation time so you can focus on creating fabulous, tasty, healthy meals. Dishwasher safe for easy clean up.

Why use Silicone lids over plastic wrap?



No more plastic wrap for food storage for us. Mainly this is how it has been for years. Most of the time we use food storage systems but every now and then we have the bottom but the top can not be found. Now we can grab one of our Ezlids and we can still store our products.

Works on Glass, metal and plastic and temperatures from -40 degrees to 450 degrees. Microwave, dishwasher, and food safe. Love that this is also eco friendly. These can be used over and over again.

The smaller one is great for cups, sinks, and bathtubs. The larger one is great for pots, pans, and bowls.

You can purchase Ezlids on Amazon.



What EZ-lids has to say about their product.

EZ-Lids are reusable food-grade silicone lids that create an airtight seal. It's the  perfect way to store food or reheat food.

To use simply place the EZ-Lid food cover on a smooth surface container like ceramic or melamine and then push down. That's it.

Overall EZ-Lids are a great addition in the kitchen.

Live Infinitely





The Live Infinitely infuser water bottle is the first infuser bottle I have seen where the infuser is attached to the bottom, which makes so much sense because that is where your water sits to the very end. Which means every last drop is infused with lots of fruit flavor.

I also liked how the top came off and you were able to drink out of it like a cup. Doesn't work well while you are driving but works well pretty much everywhere else.

So many colors to choose from, each person in my home can have a different color so there are no mix ups, which makes me really happy. I don't like to share drinks.
