I'm always looking for new ways to jazz up desserts and other foods with a little extra something. I was thrilled to try out these large flavor injectors by Fuzion Cookware! They took my cupcakes from neat to awesome!
The flavor injectors come in a nice 50 pack which is perfect for covering your next party or event. They are made out of low-density polyethylene and completely non-toxic and perfectly safe for food. The flavor injectors hold 4ml of your favorite flavor to inject into any variety of food. They are perfect for injecting chocolate, vodka, whiskey, rum, strawberry or any other flavor you may dream of into cupcakes, fruit, sushi or any other foods you think need an extra zest. As well as injecting flavor, they make a really neat conversation piece and your guests can get a real kick out of using them!
I used the flavor injectors to add a little extra icing to the inside of some cupcakes. I melted some icing and simply sucked them up into the pipettes. Since the icing was a little thick, it took a minute or two to fill them. I cleared the way by making a small hole with a toothpick so nothing would clog up the injector. Then, I simply squeezed the icing in and it added a nice little extra boost! After cutting the cupcake in half, I realized two may have been better to use per cupcake. I'm sure if I used a thinner substance it would've filled out a little better. Overall, these added a nice extra marbling of flavor and they were a lot of fun to use!

I love baking and just cooking in general. A very important tool in the kitchen is a good potholder or glove of some type to handle all the hot pans! I'm used to old fashioned cloth potholders which have several downsides to them. They can't resist heat for long and if they get dirty, you have to throw them in the washer and possibly go without one for a day. Then you end up using a spare towel or whatever may be handy nearby. A nifty new solution is to use silicone baking gloves!
The Life Quintessentials silicone oven mitts came in an absolutely adorable vintage style box that would make an amazing gift! When you open the box, the oven mitts are neatly nestled in tissue paper and also came with a bundle of adorable cupcake decorational holders. The oven mitts are of extremely high quality and made with BPA-free silicone in a lovely baby blue color. The silicone is very thick and durable. The inside of each mitt is quilted and very cozy and comfortable. A black liner is extremely well stitched with an embroidered brand name on them. The gloves are textured to provide an excellent grip. These are extremely high quality gloves and I'm proud to use them!
The decorative cupcake holders are of a teal lace design and you simply fold them to stand upright around your cupcakes. They would make an absolutely lovely dessert centerpiece! To clean the silicone oven mitts, you simply rinse the outside with warm water and hang up to dry on the attached loop. These gloves are very plsuh and so somfortable to wear! I was thoroughly impressed with them from the moment I opened the box!
I tried them out by baking some cupcakes in my gas oven. My oven was at 350 degrees and I was able to comfortably grab the pan and even hold it for a few seconds without feeling much heat. The gloves were very easy to slip on in a hurry and it was very, very easy to handle the pan. They gave me a lot better coverage than my old potholders! I absolutely love these silicone baking gloves and I'm going to retire my clothe potholders to the back of some dusty shelf now!

I'm an avid coffee drinker and can't go a morning without having my starter cup at least. I like to slow sip my coffee and enjoy it throughout the morning. One thing I've had a lot of trouble with is trying to brew coffee when we are camping! I've had some pretty disastrous attempts with paper filters and funnels that just never had a happy ending. My desire for coffee while camping is easily fixed with this Dolce Caffe Stainless Steel Coffee Dripper! Genius!
The coffee dripper is made of a durable, ultra fine steel mesh that sits on a stainless steel base tht is attached. The base easily fits over even the largest of mugs and stays cool to the touch, so you don't have to worry about burning yourself while brewing your coffee. It's super simple and fast to get a perfect cup of coffee in less than a minute! Simply set the filter on top of your favorite mug. Put in two to three tablespoons of coffee grounds. Pour hot water over the top and just let it drain through. It took less than a minute and filled the room with the delicious smell of fresh coffee. To clean up, I simply rinsed it out in the sink and let it dry. The filter didn't let a single ground leak through, yet allowed the coffee to flow fast through the bottom. The coffee was absolutely delicious and tasted better than my regular coffee machine makes! It's so quick, so easy and so delicious! This is absolutely perfect for our camping trips!

I have a six year old son, and he loves to take snacks on the go. I guess since he's a growing boy, but he thinks he needs a snack every hour! I usually just use sandwich bags for his snacks, but they always tend to open up and make a mess all over the place. Yeah, it's a lot of fun to open his backpack after school and find EVERYTHING coated in crushed goldfish crackers! I was thrilled to try out these resusable snack bag containers by Practico Kitchen. The SnackCubby containers are made of BPA-free and FDA-approved food grade silicone which is also freezer and dishwasher safe. They measure 6.9 in x 1.7 in and easily fit into a lunchbox or side pocket of a backpack. Each container holds 8.5oz, or the same as 1/4 of a standard sandwich bag, which makes it perfect for portion control. The snack bags are see-thru, so you can easily tell what's in them and how full they are. They have an attached cap and come with an accessory cap as well that is perfect for putting straws or popsicle sticks in. The SnackCubby containers are absolutely perfect for putting a variety of different snacks in! You can also make popsicles or even cylindrical ice cubes that are perfect for putting in water bottles. These are absolutely perfect for making flavored or fruit-infused ice in! Pretzels, goldfish, granola, cereal and a variety of other snacks fit in these perfectly. I packed my son some cheese nips in these and sent it off to school with him. They successfully made it throughout the day without busting open and making a mess! I was so happy! I love these little versatile containers, they're so eco-friendly and help save money on buying sandwich bags all the time!

The silicone seal enables you to shake the jar while brewing to get better results.
It is very simple to use, simply fill the jug with cold water. Add a few tablespoons of coffee to the filter, shake and let sit for about 12 hours or overnight.

Live Infinitely has come out with some really great, high quality products that have become some of my favorite everyday items. I have one of their muscle stick rollers and a cooling towel, and they are just amazing! I had very high expectations for their Infuser Water Bottle, and I was not disappointed!
Since my favorite color is purple, I got the water bottle in the Orchid Purple color. I absolutely love the rich, perfect shade of purple! It's a very nice 32 oz so you can make a drink to last for hours. I hate bottles that are too small, and this king sized one perfectly covers my needs! It's made of top quality Eastman Copolyester Tritan that is FDA approved, BPA free , eco-friendly and leak proof. It's completely dishwasher safe, so you can just take it apart and throw it in there with everything else without worrying about it.
The lid had a handy thumb lock on it, releasing a flip top lid that covers the nozzle that you drink out of. It's completely leak proof, so you can easily just throw it in a gym bag without worrying about it leaking on everything. The infuser part is the first full sized one on the market. It goes all the way to the bottom to make sure ever last drop gets saturated with flavor. I never understood why nobody else came out with this before! There's a very nice no slip grip on the side that won't slip out of even the sweatiest hand. A handy clip is also on the side of the lid so you can clip it to a bag or on your bike if you need. This cup fits perfectly in my car's cupholder, which is a huge bonus to me! To use, you simply fill the infuser with fruit or whatever else you may desire, drop it in the bottle, fill with water, shake and let sit for about 10 minutes. This bottle infuses my water with flavor way better than any other one that I've tried! And if you just want plain water or any other beverage, simply remove the infuser and you still have a nice 32 oz water bottle. It's so easy to clean since it doesn't have any weird crannies that get stinky over time. Every single piece comes apart for easy cleaning! I absolutely love this infuser bottle and how durable and versatile it is! Live Infinitely has done it yet again!

I'm an avid coffee drinker! Every morning I wake up at 5 am and the first thing I do is go get our coffee started. I usually have it with a few sweet n lows, some powdered french vanilla creamer and a splash of milk to make it yummy. I live out in the country, so it's not an option to go get a luxurious cafe cup of coffee, so I haven't had a frothed coffee in years! Well, this morning I just had what seemed like the best cup of coffee ever after trying out the MLVOC Handheld Electric Foam Maker!
The Handheld Electric Foam Maker can instantly transform your regular old coffee into a luxurious, rich treat in seconds. It's wireless, and just takes two AA batteries that you install through the bottom. It's very small and compact and very easy to hold in your hand. A thumb operated power switch is located on the side, very easy to use. The mixer itself is very quiet, my phone vibrates louder than it, so you don't have to worry about disturbing anybody else while you use it early in the morning.
I tried frothing my coffee first, and it whipped the liquid around surprisingly smooth and fast. My coffee frothed up pretty good, but I don't think I had enough milk to get a good froth. I tried it on a small cup of milk next. I put only about 1/4 cup of milk in the glass. After just about 30 seconds of frothing, the milk was all the way up to the top of the glass! It created the foam very fast! It was a very smooth, rich froth, you couldn't get better out of a steamer in a coffee shop! I poured it on top of my coffee and- Oooh la la!!! It was absolutely amazing! So rich, creamy and delicious!! This handheld mixer is getting a permanent place next to my coffee machine because I'm never having another cup without frothing first! I absolutely love this nifty little machine!!

I'm always on the lookout for new ways to prepare food to try to keep my dinners interesting. I've been trying out spiralizers lately, and I must say- this is the best spiralizer I've ever used!The simplicity of it and the ease of use is incredible!
This wonderful spiralizer is very easily assembled. Made of BPA-free durable reinforced plastic, it boasts 4 4 ultra-sharp Japanese 420-grade hardened stainless steel blades accessible via a convenient dial for endless creations. The base has strong suction cups on it to hold it securely in place. To assemble, you simply stick the shaft of the spiked pusher through a hole in the tall suppport. Screw the handle onto the top that sticks out and then pop the whole assembly on top of the base. Place the extremely handy clear catching tray underneath the base and you're all set to go! It takes just a few seconds from start to finish! A very handy little cleaning brush is also included, which is awesome because those blades are really sharp!
Using the spiralizer was incredibly easy! I've never prepared a potato so fast! I found it works better if you slice the ends of the potato so it sits in there a lot better. Using firm pressure, but not much, I just twirled the handle and my potato was done in seconds! The spirals were absolutely perfect and had some really long, continuous strands! This truly is the easiest, fastest spiralizer out there! I love it!

I love cooking and love new ways to prepare food! I've always wanted a quality spiralizer, and I think I may have found it! Brieftons Five Blade Spiralizer has so many options, I can prepare just about anything just by using this nifty machine! This is a wonderful time-saver that helps me prepare veggies in all new ways to help keep dinner interesting!
The Spiralizer comes in a nice bundle package with plenty of options. It takes minimal assembly and can be put together in less than a minute. The base has suction cups that you can easily attach to any surface. You simply take the sliding piece and insert the spiked vegetable pusher into a hole at the top. Screw the handle into the back of the threaded spike piece until it locks into place. That's your vegetable pusher piece assembled! Now, just slide your selected blade into the blade holder until it snaps into place. Pop that whole piece onto the base and you have your cutting part assembled! Very quick and easy, and now you can prepare your veggies! The whole pushing piece slides into the grooved part of the base and easily moves back and forth. The handle is made of reinforced heavy duty stainless steel, which is vital if you'd like it to last more than a few months!
The five blades that come with the spiralizer cover a wide range of different ways to cut your veggies! Each blade is made of ultra-sharp Japanese 420-grade hardened stainless steel for durability to make endless creations.
The blades are: Angel-hair blade for 2mm ultra thin noodles Fine-shredding blade for 3mm-wide noodles Crude-shedding blade for 6mm-wide noodles Flat blade for ribbon-like noodles Curly-fry blade for 10mm wide x 6mm thick curly fries
The spiralizer was very easy to use! I chose to use the curly fry blade to make some homemade curly fries! It was little hard to stabilize at first until I moved my hand to the back of the base to stabilize it better. It cut very well and made perfect little spirals. It was very easy to cut the potato and I had my fries cut in about 30 seconds! I didn't have to exert any effort to pushing the potato through, the handle easily helped push it. The fries came out perfectly uniform in thickness and were in nice long spirals. I made some finger lickin' good curly fried that my family loves, and I can't wait to use this awesome spiralizer to try new veggies out! Minimal effort to assemble+ minimal effort to use= maximum results!!
