a few of my favorite things


It's easy to amass kitchen utensils in your drawer(s), some which never see the light of your actual kitchen.

What I love is when you find a kitchen utensil -- something not of the basic wooden spoon variety -- you start using it and think, how did I ever live without this?

My top 3 kitchen utensils from top to bottom: 1) Pastry scraper: except I don't use it for pastry, I use it to assist in picking up things I've chopped off my cutting board; 2) Garlic peeler: I have owned every type of garlic peeler and this is only one that really works; 3) Scooper: We do a lot of muffins and cookies in this house and this thing gets regular use.

My runner up for this list is my Silpat which I use at least once a week.

What are your top kitchen utensils? Always looking for something new to fall in love with.

I would have to say....my 3 cup Cuisinart..perfect for hummus or other dips. My cookie scoop as well...I even use it for meatballs. And I have this over sized spatula that is awesome for turning pancakes.

The garlic peeler, my fav. We use lots of garlic, I don't know how I made it before I had one.
