Mixed Crowd Pleaser - Shrimp and Sausage Bake
Salmon Stuffed with Broccoli, Cream Cheese and Water Chestnuts
Kielbasa and Sauerkraut with Carrots and Brussels Sprouts
Low carb recipes don't have to be bland. Consider using sauerkraut to infuse surrounding vegetables with gratifyingly tart flavor. If you're into nitrate free sausage, I highly recommend Aidells chicken apple sausage and Kiolbassa brand beef sausage.

My Top Ten Favorite Cookware Items
I Love Every Piece in this Beautiful Porcelain Collection by Cuisinart
Let's talk about porcelain coated cast iron. It somehow stays white, no matter what I do to it. My metal casserole pans must be replaced every so often, but this iconic piece by Cuisinart has been in my collection for eight years. I cherish the beauty of this piece when it's time to set a nice table for the holidays. When company arrives, I don't like to serve beautiful food creations in ugly metal pans!

This 16 Inch Skillet Doubles My Cooking Space for Large Meals
When I need to make large batches of chicken, I turn to my electric skillet! It allows me too prepare more than twice as much food as I'd be able to cook with a simple frying pan. That translates to more leftovers and less time cooking for a few days! If I'm prepping for future weeks, I prefer to use freezer bags versus Tupperware style containers. That way, I can squeeze the air out of the top of the bag.

The Absolute Best Nonstick Pan
Introducing the best nonstick pan I've ever owned! It's not just my opinion. An independent testing agency spent hundreds of hours evaluating nine different nonstick brands in terms of performance, durability and ease of use. The test kitchen began by cooking several sticky and clingy recipes in each pan. To evaluate nonstick performance over time, they cooked 50 eggs without oil in each pan at the beginning and end of their cooking experiments. They even whacked each pan against cinder blocks to test construction and durability. After watching the video from America's Test Kitchen on YouTube, I knew I had to order my Oxo Good Grips Nonstick 12-inch Pro Skillet right away. Sure enough, the durability and nonstick performance is far superior to any pan in my home collection.

Does the Iconic Hex Clad Frying Pan Live up to the Hype?
When I saw Chef Gordon Ramsey promoting this pan on YouTube, I just knew I had to buy it. This pan has some grip, so it delivers a nice sear similar to cast iron. However, it's not the greatest pan for cooking things like fish. I love that the pan is oven safe up to 500 degrees! That means I can fry my things on top of the stove and transfer the pan to the oven to let them finish cooking. This pan's claim to fame is that the surface stays new for a very long time. It doesn't scratch when metal utensils are used. That much seems to be true. Amazon purchasing history shows I bought the pan back in September of 2021. As of this writing on July 27 of 2022, my pan still doesn't have scratches. I'll update with photos to show age progression.

I Can't Live Without this Nonstick Stock Pot
Here's a lesson I learned the hard way. Stock pots made of stainless steel are great for boiling pasta or making certain types of soup, but creamy soup recipes will stick and start to burn. When it's time for me to make broccoli cheese soup or chicken with dumplings, I pull out this nonstick stock pot! I love that this pot is large enough to cook three or four days worth of food. I divide my soup among several plastic containers with snap tight lids.

This Divided Skillet Lets Me Cook Several Breakfast Items at Once
Where has this brilliant pan been all my life? When I think of all the times I've washed three or four pans connected to one meal, I wonder how I survived the injustice of it all. But seriously, I live in a house where different diet objectives often conflict. If I'm in the mood for chicken and my husband wants hamburgers, it's no longer a big hassle to prepare both. There's more than enough to room to make two different types of meat with up to three side dishes. I sometimes feel like I'm at a restaurant sampling little items from his dinner and giving him little nuggets from mine. Sharing is caring!
