These deep serving bowls from Reco are just what I needed. They’re perfect for serving mashed potatoes, vegetables, or any number of hot side dishes as well as for putting out snacks and chips. When the package arrived I found that they are even more attractive in person, very classic styling and solid quality. The bowls even feature a handy side loop handle which I thought was a great idea. I can’t tell you how nice it is to finally have some colorful serving bowls to serve my food in.

This coffeemaker has exactly what I’m looking for – it’s a Spacemaker so I can mount it to my top cabinets and actually gain back some counter space – and it’s programmable, so I can set the timer and have hot coffee waiting for me when I wake up. This Black & Decker coffeemaker is just the machine I’ve been waiting for & I can’t wait to brew my 1st cup of coffee in it.

I’m always surprised to hear from friends that they don’t really use their crockpot at all. Almost everyone I know has one, but doesn’t take advantage of the hundred or even thousands of yummy crockpot recipes out there. It just makes cooking dinner every night so much easier for me when my beloved slowcooker does most of the work for me at least a few times each week.

Using a covered clay baker for baking apples helps keep the natural fruit juices in your dessert. Once it’s fully baked, you can top it with cinnamon and nuts, or whipped cream, ice cream, honey – just about any topping you can imagine tastes delicious on top of a juicy warm baked apple. The dessert is really simple to make, but it creates quite an impression.  And this adorable baker is just one of the many great cookware pieces offered by Romertopf clay. Not only is it fun to have in your own home, it also makes a very unique housewarming or Christmas gift.
