This is not a sponsored post.  I just wanted to share with you some things that I’ve been loving lately in my kitchen!  What are your favorite things in the kitchen these days???

1.  Shirley J Chicken Bouillon–it dissolves easily, is double concentrated so you only need half the amount (it will last you forever), isn’t too salty.  I substitute it for chicken broth.

2.  Kirkland Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips–they’re new at Costco and I luuuuuhhhve them.  They are a good deal too.  They would be less than $2 a normal-sized bag!  I’ve been using them like crazy making these chocolate chip cookies lately.   

3.  Avocados.  I just love them.  Everyday.  My son and I like to eat these sandwiches.

4.  Salad Master Machine.  It has changed my life.  It’s simply amazing.  Chops, slices, dices, shreds in about 1.1 seconds.  A-Mazing for making salads and chopping veggies for soups!

5.  Reynolds Slow Cooker liners.  If you don’t like scrubbing your crock-pot these will save your life.  A brilliant idea!

6.  Shirley J Timeless Grains…it’s a bunch of different grains that you cook into a hot breakfast cereal.  Chewy and delicious.  This will keep you full for hours.  I like to add in some sliced bananas and craisins for a little extra sweetness.

7.  Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch…these are new too and I love them.  So does my husband.  I was so sad when I went to grab the box today and they were all eaten.

8.  Prairie Grain Bread Co Honey Whole Wheat Bread…I make a special trip to Costco to buy this bread.  So yummy and it has 4 grams of fiber in each slice.  This is the bread we use for these sandwiches.

P.S.  Make sure to join in all the foodie fun on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest!

    Um…total AMEN about the slow cooker liners! How did I ever function before I found them? ๐Ÿ™‚

    And I LOVE the cheerios product, too! Picked it up at Target last week on a whim and I'm in love!

    Anonymous, I would think probably around $300ish.
    Annette, Shirley J is a local business so I just buy their products online.

    I'm mad that our Costco doesn't carry that bread anymore! It is more than $4 a loaf at the regular grocery store. Maybe next time I can get some from your Costco. It really is the best bread ever!

    Hey Kel,
    They are one of those companies that has parties and dealers, so it doesn't say too much of their website. I'm sure they're hoping that you'll host a party or something. But I can tell you that I love mine so much! If you love fresh veggies and use them in your cooking it is such a useful tool. It is hand cranked and you can literally grate a block of cheese in 15 seconds. I think it's kind of expensive but for the ultimate home cook it would be worth getting! https://secure.saladmaster.com/contact.pgm?option2=on

Hi, I’m Karen. I know that dinner time can be less than relaxing. Busy schedules and cranky kids and a hundred other things can lead to weariness when it comes to putting dinner on the table. I can help! I make homemade, family-friendly slow cooker and Instant Pot dinners and share the recipes with you.
