My top 5 kitchen gadgets


I’m a gadget person but my favorite place to have gadgets are in the kitchen. Gadgets just make life easier. And since I love cooking, my favorite gadgets tend to be in the kitchen. There are my top non electrical 5 gadgets that just make my cooking life easier and/or fun. 
My zoodle maker! That’s what I love to make zucchini noodles with it. It’s really called a spiral cutter. I’ve also done carrot noodles, parsnip noodles and squash noodles too. There are lots of cheaper ones, but this one is sturdy and I’ve owned mine for 2 years. If you think you’ll love veggie noodles, then I recommend this one because it is more versatile because it will allow you to do bigger things like butternut squash or apples.

My Lemon Juice Squeezer! I use a LOT of lemons. I love to drink fresh lemon juice in my water, cook with lemon juice and more. I use it EVERYDAY!

My bacon grease saver! Do I need to say more? I love cooking with bacon grease and I love making homemade bacon mayo! Since I buy pastured bacon, the fat from pastured pork is high in oleic acid which is the prized element in olive oil. Hello bacon! Stay tuned for my bacon chipotle mayo recipe.

My salad dressing bottle! This handy dandy little thing has 8 recipes on the bottle. You fill it up according to the line on the bottle and it makes beautiful salad dressing every time! No more store bought GMO, HFCS filled salad dressing! This makes homemade dressing so easy!

My garlic press! We go through A LOT of garlic in our house, approximately 2-3 full bulbs per week. I don’t think it’s possible to ever have too much garlic! You don’t even have to peel the garlic before putting it in the press! This handy tool minces garlic with one press and it has a cleaning mechanism that pushes out the leftover peel.

My brother teaches me something

I decided to write my brother a letter last week. While I sat down to write the letter, it dawned on me that there were some words he needed to hear. Chris reminded me that I might be the only person in the world that understands him because of experiencing the same childhood. First, I told him I was proud of him for working hard to stay out of trouble and keep a job. These are words that we both long to hear from our parents. Our desire to hear these words from them pushed us to act in two very different ways. Second, I told him that I admired him. That might sound strange intiailly but the last time that I saw him was at dinner at my parent's house. Before he left, he leaned down to give a hug to my father who was laying in the recliner. Dad didn't reciprocate, but I can't imagine how much courage and forgiveness had gone through Thomas's heart to be able to do that. I'm shamed to admit that I can only remember hugging my dad 2 times in my adult life. ...

Amazed again!

I was speaking to Don, the owner of the lot we purchased today and he exclaimed, I know someone that knows you! Gina Patterson! Hmmm...I know I'm pregnant and losing some brain cells slowly but the name didn't ring a bell. I told him that I had no idea who that was and then he cautiously asked, how are things with the baby? I said, Great, although, we did have a scare a few weeks ago. I told him the story but then affirmed that we had some amazing prayer warriors petitioning on behalf of Lana and I and God heard the prayers and the problem disappeared. Then he said, well, that's how I thought you know Gina. I received an email from her asking to pray for you and your baby. I was afraid to ask about the baby in fear that something bad may have happened. So somehow through a course of prayer chains, emails, and phone calls, this prayer warrior saint, Gina, received word about my situation and then turned on her list of prayer warriors to get them interceding on our behal...

Spring

It's hard to believe we've been in TN for almost 10 months. We've just about made it through all the season. I have to admit that it was quite beautiful to experience the fall leaves for more than a day that we might have seen in Charleston. The winter was a rough initiation but I made it. I'm pretty sure I made every attempt not to leave the house, but the snow pretty much helped with that. It seems that the seasons have changed once again overnight. Literally, in one day, the leaves on the tree next to our house have gone from barren to full of green. Bushes and trees are flowering everywhere. There's something so refreshing about spring. While all the seasons are beautiful, spring represents new life. What a perfect time for Lana to arrive!
