The Gluten Free Diva: Maple Grove Farms Pancake & Waffle Mix

The Gluten Free Diva: Maple Grove Farms Pancake & Waffle Mix

“Is this gluten free?” Loaded question? You betcha, especially when posed by the smallest and most finicky person sitting at my breakfast table. My second gluten free product review is going to get a pretty high scoring from me again, but don’t start thinking that I hand out spoons too easi

The Wooden Spoon: Not Just an Instrument of Discipline from Your Childhood

The Wooden Spoon: Not Just an Instrument of Discipline from Your Childhood

Sure, it’s used for cooking, but that’s not its full potential. Days when my fingers are swollen, I use it push buttons on my blender or select the crushed ice option on my fridge, but that’s just my kitchen. In my car I use it for tricky seat belts buttons, my son’s car seat and I have even

Product Review of OXO Good Grips Citrus Squeezer

We all want to get the most out of our citrus fruits, which usually means squishing them until we’ve gotten every drop of juice. Some people recommend that you microwave your lemon for a few moments or roll it on the counter, but when it comes right down to it, you still need an effective way to r
