REVIEW – In 2023, I tested and reviewed the Waterdrop WD-A1 Countertop Reverse Osmosis System. Although I loved the system, I had no idea that it would become the go-to source of drinking water in my home and that the kids would use it so much that they behaved like they could not do without […]

REVIEW – Stealing an old TV commercial line, ‘And – it makes julienne fries!’ The ONCE FOR ALL Mandoline Slicer can cut a lot of foods, a lot of ways. The company kindly sent a veggie and a meat slicer. This is the first mandoline slicer my wife and I have used and we proved

REVIEW – I have never been a big fan of buying water bottles only to throw them away (worst case) or recycle them (best case). My husband has his own business, and he buys the big 5-gallon jugs and puts them in a dispenser once a week. So when the SimPure water filtration system came
REVIEW – Juicing (in the sense of extracting juice from fruits and vegetables, not in the sense of being “juiced” or under the influence) is a popular health practice for many.

REVIEW – Being empty nesters has greatly reduced the size of our meals. Firing up our big conventional oven seems like a waste of electricity, which of course means money. Since using the Midea Flexify French Door Air Fryer Oven for the last month or so, we have not used our big oven one time.
REVIEW – We enjoy hosting groups for parties and gatherings at our home. Since we have moved into our new house three years ago, the number of gatherings has increased. All of these parties require food, and up until I received the Feppo Silicone Dish Warming Tray, that meant having cans of Sterno and unwieldy

REVIEW – Pressure cookers are not new technology, but it has been interesting to watch how the cooking scene has changed since the Insta-Pot came out.

REVIEW – Fun holiday gathering post dinner/pre dessert discussion topic: Does every appliance now need to be “smart”? I have a “smart” carpet cleaner and I have exactly zero idea why it needed to be smart; now I have an app that tells me when it’s on or when the water is low, two very

REVIEW – If you cook on a griddle, then you know that there is nothing better than cast iron for high-temperature cooking. Grilled sandwiches, smash burgers, eggs, and more all call out for cast iron for balanced temperature cooking and simple cleanup. Some cast iron pans are a bit unwieldy to handle as cast iron

REVIEW – I’ve never been a “juicer.” I like juice, but juicers always looked like they were hard to clean, took up a lot of space and were noisy. Plus, I don’t know anyone who has a juicer who uses it past six months. But I am a sucker for unique kitchen gadgets, and a

REVIEW – Unpopular to my teenagers’ beliefs, our dirty clothes do not belong on our floor or around the house wherever we feel like tossing them that day.
