Stay Away from the Heat with Casabella Silicone Pot Holders

Casabella Black Pot Holders

My wife is always in the kitchen so, when I search for a gift for her, I look for kitchen-related products. I know you’re probably thinking that this is comparable to giving your wife a vacuum cleaner or a washer/dryer as a gift but my wife is truly interested in anything to do with the kitchen and cooking. She would prefer a new Le Creuset pot over a shiny new gold necklace. So, when her birthday is on the horizon or Christmas is around the corner, I head over to the kitchen store in the mall. A few years ago as one of her Christmas presents, I bought her two Casabella silicone pot holders that were very different-looking to me [...] Read more »

Invest Wisely in a Brew N Go Black and Decker Coffee Maker

Brew N Go Black and Decker Coffee Maker

I really cannot say enough about the Black and Decker coffee maker, the Brew N Go. It has been my go-to coffee maker for the past two years every morning for my first cup of coffee at work. Black&Decker wasn’t the first brand name that would come to mind when I would think of office coffee makers in the past. I had obviously heard of Black and Decker appliances but that was more along the lines of tools and DIY-related equipment. So how did I end up buying a Black & Decker coffee maker? The only reason that I purchased the Black and Decker Brew and Go was because it was recommended to me by a friend in the blogging [...] Read more »
