now that I am thinking about it, it's kind of irrational that I love these three small kitchen appliances so much, but they really do make my life SO much easier. Now that I'm working full-time again, it's even more important to be organized and have my appliances do as much of the work for me as possible!
1. My yogurt maker is the BEST. Yes, I know you can make it in the crock-pot, but my crock-pot is otherwise occupied right now. We here at Casa Palagi are crazy about yogurt, and especially greek yogurt, so this was a very good investment. I'm making yogurt right now that later I'll strain into greek yogurt, but because of his handy-dandy machine, it's all MUCH less expensive and pretty darn convenient. Sadly, I have run out of Sage Mountain Farms organic locally-made strawberry jam, so I guess I'll have to flavor our yogurt with something else.....
2. My crock pot is making baked potato soup right now and my house smells wonderful! This last week was extra busy and we ate out WAY too much. It's time to bust out the crock pot and have a nice meal waiting for us when we get home from our various extra-curricular activities.
3. It is now the one-year anniversary of me buying myself my wonderful kitchen aid mixer for Christmas. Merry Christmas to me! Now that I have it, I'm not sure how I ever lived without it! Sure, it would be nice to have it in fire-engine red (from Sur la Table, I think), but it has helped me make countless muffins, cupcakes, breads etc despite the fact that it is plain white. I love it.
I must also note the presence of my slowly dying kitchen cabinet undermount iPod/radio stereo. I don't think I could cook without having access to NPR and/or good music from my iPod!
