I Am An "As Seen On TV" Junkie

I love infomercials and if I could afford it, I would want to own one of nearly all the “As Seen on TV” products available. I love the totally unrealistic struggle with an item or situation that a person undergoes and then seeing them effortlessly resolve that problem with the new product that they are selling. I seriously want to be an actor for one of these infomercials as I am sure the Director says “just say act like an idiot” and that is it.

My newest favorite item is the Perfect Brownie Pan Set!



“Perfect Brownie Pan makes baking brownies easier than ever before!!!

NOW you can make 18 perfectly sized, moist and chewy brownies, EACH with PERFECT edges with the Perfect Brownie Pan!!! Don’t just bake brownies; the Perfect Brownie, non-stick Pan is also great for making rice crispy treats, corn bread, crumb cake and MUCH MORE!!!

Your Perfect Brownie Pan set will include an 11x7 inch Perfect Brownie Pan, divider and serving rack...PLUS our gooey and chewy recipe guide…ALL for just $19.95 plus $8.95 processing and handling… We will ALSO include our BONUS offer of TEN decorative stencils…at NO ADDITIONAL COST!!!”

Yep, I think I need this because it is just genius!! Not because cutting a square brownie is all that hard (I mean watch the video, come on - really?!?!) but because each brownie would have that crispy edge around it with a gooey middle....mmmmmmmm. And the multipurpose serving trying is pretty darn cool as well. Yep, this is a must have.

I Think I Need This...

It is the Pancake Puffs Pan!!

Terry & I saw a commercial for this last night and we both decided we needed to get this. Website is here.

"The Pancake Puffs™ Pan is revolutionary, just pour, flip and fill to make the perfect Puff every time. For only $19.99 and just $9.99 shipping, you'll get the Pancake Puffs™ Pan, the recipe book and a set of flipping sticks! They make meal time more fun for the entire family! "

Make an Endless Variety of Pancake Puffs™:
Buttermilk Pancake Puffs * Blueberry Pancake Puffs * Meatball Sandwich Puffs * Fruit-filled Puffs * Pizza Puffs * Pigs in a Blanket Puffs * Banana Bread Puffs * Brown Sugar Puffs * Applesauce Puffs * Cinnamon Raisin Puffs * Sugar Puffs * Apple Puffs * Crab Cake Puffs * Brownie Puffs * Strawberry Cake Puffs * Omelet Puffs

This just looks way cool! And the clincher for me was at the end of the commercial they said..."It is Pan-tastic!" Um - Awesome! How did they know I loved cheesy marketing like this!

For You Two Pretzels

So K, I saw this in my Rachael Ray magazine and immediately thought of you! And as a lover of all kitchen gadgets I thought I would pass this along!

It is called Eiko, and it is an eggcup that you can hang on your pot to boil eggs in. Can’t say how well it works, but it looks like a great idea and way fun!

"EIKO is an ingenious solution for the perfect breakfast egg: Simply hang the egg cups containing the eggs over the edge of a pot of boiling water, use the colors to differentiate cooking times, remove the eggs by grasping the cool handle, run under cool water, and carry to the table where Eiko functions as an egg cup!"

I love all things kitchen!

What a Great Feeling!

This morning I got up and prepared a pot roast in our Crock Pot for dinner tonight!

I am excited b/c the house is starting to smell really good and it just feels good when you make food in a crock pot! At 6pm when my husband comes home dinner will be ready, the house will smell like I have been cooking all day long and we will be able to sit down and enjoy a great dinner with no fuss from either of us! It is PERFECT!!!

I don't know why I don't use our crock pot more often because really it is a wonderful kitchen appliance!

I Love....

My New Saute Pan!!!!

So my parents just got me this new saute pan and I am here to tell you this is a MUST HAVE for anyone who cooks! In fact, I dare say this is the only saute pan you will ever need from this point on!

"This Members Mark 5.5 qt Deep Saute Pan is made of heavy-gauge porcelain enamel with a superior nonstick coating. The stay-cool silicone soft-grip cast stainless steel handles are ergonomically designed for comfort and safety."

Let me tell you, this thing is huge and wonderful! My parents got it for me from Sam's Club and it was only $20 (well worth it)! The thing I love most is that the other day I made a dish with tons of sauteed veggies in a red sauce in this pan and still had room to add a pound of bow tie pasta to the pan with room to spare! Also, because it is not stick it is easy to cook lean meats and fish without a problem!

I have said this before, I am an addict for all things kitchen. But my friends, this wonderful pan is one of my new favorites and has been bumped up to my "top 5 must haves for any kitchen" list!

Thanks again mom and dad! I loves it!
