REVIEW – My son and co-reviewer, Mason, is on a smoothie kick. I hate to discourage this healthy habit, but our old blender is loud enough to wake the dead (or at least his little brother). When I saw this opportunity to review The BlendJet 2 “next-gen blender” that’s lightweight, cordless, and came with both

REVIEW – Cooking for two is always a bit of a challenge because most recipes are designed for four or more people, leaving my wife and me with more food than necessary. One way to deal with the extras is to heat up the leftovers in the microwave for the next day or two. Souper

REVIEW – Do you buy almond, soy, coconut, oat, and other plant-based milk from the grocery store? Ever taken a look a the list of ingredients on the package? There’s probably a lot of sugar and weird ingredients like carrageenan and artificial flavors and colors. Making your own plant-based milk is a great idea until

NEWS – A couple of months ago, I wrote about a travel crock-pot that made a great option for a mobile slow cooker.

REVIEW – Very recently my partner has shared with me the wonderful world of hiking. I have exactly zero shame in admitting that when choosing trails, he picks the ones that have the most opportunities where we can stop and “take in the scenery” (AKA Cat can remember how to breathe and not expire). What

NEWS – Peeling the skins off potatoes, carrots, and other veggies doesn’t take that long when your handheld peeler is sharp but who the heck keeps their peelers sharp?

REVIEW – There is an old joke about buying healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and then throwing them away a week later since they rotted in the refrigerator. That used to be funny before food prices started climbing faster than Olympic rock climbers. Luxear aims to help protect your precious fresh edibles with its

REVIEW – I have a kid who has never really eaten a “normal” breakfast. It’s probably all my fault since I used to just toss him into his car seat in the morning with some dry cereal (he didn’t like it with milk) that he would eat like kibble on the way to school.

NEWS – If you have leftover pizza, the Pizza Pack is the perfect place to put it. It’s like a Tupperware container, but it’s expandable. This allows the slices to be stacked on top of each other and thus efficiently uses space in the fridge. It comes with five little trays to separate the slices,

NEWS – When it comes to chopsticks, I want to use them when I’m at an Asian restaurant, but I’d be there for hours trying to eat my food, so I opt for a fork. The Mantis Chopsticks look like a pair of chopsticks that I actually might be able to use because one end

REVIEW – I love dried fruits and nuts. When the Paris-Rhône PE-FD001 Food Dehydrator came up for review, I thought it might be a chance to see if homemade really is better.

REVIEW – I don’t snack a lot, but when I do, I like to choose snacks that are low in carbs, have healthy fats, and taste great. Last year, I reviewed Blake’s Seed-Based rice crispy treats, and a couple of weeks ago Blake’s Seed Based sent me samples of their new Snacking Seeds. Let’s check

REVIEW – LivBars are made of real seeds, grains, fruits and flavorings, few of which exceed 3 syllables. ‘Himalayan’ is no actual violation. It’s the absence of chemicals and preservatives that I appreciate. Our bodies know what to do with real food. I took a taste of the Crowd Pleaser 12 pack assortment of LivBars.

REVIEW – A multicooker is an appliance that has many of the cooking capabilities of other appliances, which means it can perform a variety of functions, like boiling, frying, stewing, baking, and steaming. This should allow someone with limited kitchen space to replace several single-function appliances, like a slow cooker, a steamer, an air fryer,
