Bell Pepper Corer
Another Kitchen Gadget with Peppers on its Mind
It would seem that my food blog has nothing on its mind but peppers today. It’s actually not quite true. I have cream cheese on my mind as well (of course, it’s stuffing a jalapeno..).
The kitchen gadget shown above is a bell pepper corer and it’s a little genius. While it would come in handy when slicing and dicing peppers, it would really shine when you’re preparing the bell peppers for stuffing. If you’ve ever tried to convince a bell pepper to part with its insides, while keeping its outside looking flawless, you know it’s nothing short of a migraine.

Since I Have Fruit on the Mind

After the last post, with it’s adorable fruit plates and bargain basement Black & Decker Fruit and Vegetable Juice Extractor, I have fruit on the mind even more than usual. I traipsed over to my favorite art prints and posters retailer and searched for Strawberries. These are a few of my favorite finds. With me being the chocoholic I am, is there any wonder I gave top billing to the one above. Yeah, I’m pretty much drooling into my coffee…

One of the reasons I love the one above so much is that it reminds me of one of my grandmother’s kitchens. Everything was always so bright and happy and she was almost always canning, preserving, and freezing fruits and vegetables from her garden.
Last, but certainly not least, I love the one below because of the colors PLUS it’s giving me a craving to end all cravings for strawberries. This would be me headed to the store for strawberries within 5 minutes….
