Kitchen “Must-Haves”

April 12, 2023April 24, 2023 christyaustin1680

If you’re in the kitchen a lot like me, there are some items that are “all-stars” in the kitchen.

Many of the items I love have been recommended by others and now, I can’t live without them.

With Mother’s Day around the corner I wanted to share my Top 5 Favorite Kitchen “Must-Haves.”

Manuel Food Processor The current price is only $8.97

I love this easy to use manual food process. You simply pull that handle and it chops items up so easily. My kids love using this item too! Making soup is sooo much easier with this food processor.

Cheese Slicer The current price is $11.95 Get thin slices of cheese. Fast and easy to use!

If you’re not using a cheese slicer in your house, you’ll want to start!

Rachel Ray Ceramic Olive Oil Dispenser. The current price of this olive oil dispenser is only $19.99.

It adds the perfect amount of olive oil to any pan. It’s spout is great for pouring, it’s also made to keep your olive oil fresh longer. It’s dishwasher safe and easy to clean.

Collapsible Silicone Measuring Cups The current price of these measuring cups is $7.37.

I love how these measuring cups easily fit into a drawer without taking up much space!

Wall Mount Grocery Bag Dispenser. The current price for this grocery bag dispenser is $20.00

We have been using this grocery bag dispenser wall mount for years now and I love it! It’s out of the way and keeps things looking neat and organized!

Now it’s your turn!

What kitchen “must-haves” would you suggest?

I’d love to hear!

My friend introduced me to this amazing kitchen gadget and I had to share!

This kitchen tool is called: Chef’n VeggiChop Hand-Powered Food Chopper

I purchased this veggie chopper for only $15.30 on Amazon, and it works great!

The blades are sharp and it works great with just a pull of the cord at the top!

I love that it’s not overly expensive, its’ easy to use, and it’s not extremely big which makes it easier to store.

Chopping onions, and garlic, or anything else was never so easy!

My Favorite Places to Find Gluten-Free Recipes

July 12, 2020July 12, 2020 christyaustin1680

After years of eating gluten-free I have found some GREAT resources when it comes to finding tasty gluten-free recipes and meals.

I hope you will find these resources helpful, even if you don’t have to eat gluten-free I think you’ll enjoy it!

To watch my YouTube video on this look below:

1- Download the “Tasty” app! This app is so helpful and has so many gluten-free recipes. It shows ratings on how well people have liked the meal and the instructions are great and easy to follow.

You can also save your favorite recipes to come back to.

2- Get meal plans from :

http://www.sixsistersstuff.com

The best option is to buy them for a year which is only $48.00

The recipes are sent to you weekly via email.

It’s 6 days worth of dinner meals and each meal has the main meal, a side dish and dessert.

I printed my recipes off on paper and created my own cookbook with these meal plans and I use them frequently.

I love the Six Sister’s Stuff and think you will too!

3- Go to: https://cleanmondaymeals.com

This website has endless meal prep recipes and even better?! They are ALL gluten free!

The recipes on the website are tasty and easy to follow.

JaNae Cox is the founder of Clean Monday Meals and she has wonderful ideas for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Check out her website, and she also has book options available for purchasing!

4- Don’t be scared to pull out those delicious family recipes books and replace regular flour with gluten free flour.

Sometimes it takes experimenting but it’s so rewarding to create that delicious meal you loved from grandma .. and make it gluten -free!

Create your own gluten-free recipes with just a bit of an adjustment

My favorite flours that are gluten free are: cup4cup, namaste, and better batter flour.

5- Pinterest!

You can find me on Pinterest “christyleepixx” and I have pinned a lot of great gluten-free recipes.

Even more, start finding some yummy gluten-free recipes and save them to your Pinterest page.

Yes you may make some “Pinterest fails,” but it’s worth it to find some of those tasty “Pinterest wins.”

I hope this helps you find more gluten-free recipes!

The resources out there are wonderful these days and I’m so happy to see gluten-free friendly meals popping up all over now.

Do you have any great places YOU look for gluten- free recipes?

Until next time!

Xoxo,
