I LOVE my pressure cooker. I can have a healthy and quick meal in less than 30 minutes (in the time it takes to chop veggies, rinse lentils and bring the whole pot to a boil and simmer for a few minutes then let it sit for a few minutes, voila! It's ready!).

I love my Henckel's (the authentic, impoted ones with 2 little men on the logo) and Kyocera (Japanese ceramic) knives so much that when I go to a potluck and need a bread or paring knife to prepare a garnish or slice bread, I bring my own!

My bamboo chopping boards are indispensible to me.

My stainless steel cookware with vented glass lids have been so very useful!

My blender/chopper combo is a must-have, as is my large Cuisinart ood processor.

I find a crock pot to be so helpful when I'll be gone all day and want a warm stew or chili waiting for my family after work and school.

My mini muffin pans are great for quick, portion-controlled muffins, tarts, cornbreads and even tiny cookies.

There are lots more but these are the main things I use regularly.

I am so glad there are others that share my impure thought about Alton. My mom is amazed by that because she can't stand him. She like Bobby Flay how reminds me a lot of my ex husband. They are both obnoxious and full of themselves. I have to agree about Gina she has great recipes but they shoot her so close up she looks like she is a big giant head on a stick thin body. I like Paula Dean and wish I could eat her stuff because it all looks so good. That gal love butter the same way I do. I have never made any of her recipes because it is just too much kcals.

Back to kitchen products another great product I forgot to mention are the new Splenda blends. I love the Splenda for baking and really, really love the Splenda brown sugar. They are 1/2 sugar and 1/2 Splenda so they are very sweet and you need very little. They are about 10 kcal per tablespoon. The brown sugar I think is great because it is has a very strong brown sugar taste. I think there is some molasses in it or something. It really is the best faux brown sugar out there. I use it on oatmeal in the mornings. For a sweet snake I have an yellow squash or sweet potato with little butter and some of the brown sugar blend and I am in heaven. It really hits the spot and is filling with lots of vitamins to boot.

Soups, smoothies, cocktails done withthe help of my blender are the best ones for everybody, as for me.
