Rogers Family Company Coffee and Tea Market have ingeniously created single serve coffee in 97% bio-degradable packaging that works in K-Cup brewing systems. I drink the
Fog Chaser OneCup. It's robust, rich, and smells like coffee on the opening of each package (something most single serve coffee cups can't offer). Help put an end to the single serve coffee waste filling up landfills and make the switch.
Those that know me know that I adore a good glass of wine. There's nothing like sitting on the back porch with a cold glass of wine, until that wine gets warm. It's a common problem in the South, where heat and humidity are a part of life.
Wine Twirls are one of those items that I first tried and kept wondering why I hadn't thought of them. They are brilliant. No flavor is imparted in the wine at all, and each glass is kept refrigerator cold for 45 minutes.
Labeling is part of an organized kitchen and I use
FrogTape daily. I label my children's water bottles, mark dates to containers in the fridge, and add details to anything I put in the freezer. The tape sticks to wet containers, stays on, and peels off easily when you need to remove it.
This
Bottle Bubble Ice bag chills wine in minutes and also has handles for on the go. I own three of them.
I've never been much of a fan for bottled barbecue sauces, but this one really took me by surprise. It's very close to the sauce I was raised on.
Big Ed's Heirloom BBQ Sauce is now a staple for our family.
A
Sharpie is almost always within an arm's reach in my kitchen. I write the date of purchase on the bottom of my spice bottles, scribble on the FrogTape, and jot down the opening date on jars of jellies and condiments in my fridge.
This is a knife I couldn't live without. It's a
tomato knife from Wusthof. The perfect size with a serrated edge makes it ideal for nearly all fruits and vegetables and small loaves of bread. The fork on the end is an added bonus for picking up the fresh sliced goodies.
After spending nine months covered up in chicken, I went through my fair share of
latex gloves (always powder free). I use them not for a dislike of raw chicken, but for quick and easy cleanup. If one of the children needs me right away, I can slip off the gloves and get going.
With no shortage of carbs around our house, twist ties are in high demand. The little metal flimsy ones that come on bread packages are really shamed by the
Bag Cinch by OXO. They keep the packages tight and are much easier to take on and off.
I'm a new fan Rick Bayless' line of sauces. The
Texas Original Taco Skillet Sauce is my favorite and is known to appear at our house on all things from roasted eggplant to poached eggs. It's a staple in the pantry.
