In fact, I plan to see to it that she does.
Made of resin, I plan to use her more for looks than anything else.
Originally carved out of a knotty wood, this adorable pig bowl measures 4″ wide, 8″ long, and 3″ wide.
Like the beautiful pig platter above, the pig bowl is also made of resin.

As someone who is both obsessed with and a collector of pigs, I feature a lot of pigs on this food blog. What’s funny is, I hear from SO many of you who feel just as strongly about them as I do.
They’re whimsical, fun, and impossibly cute… what’s not to love, right?!
The adorable Pig Paper Towel Holder, pictured here, is pretty much a MUST HAVE as far as I’m concerned.
Not only is she a beauty, she serves a very useful function – she give that ever-present and ever-wandering roll of paper towels an attractive place to call home.

When I found these adorable Pig Molds on Amazon, I knew I had to tell y’all about them because I’ve heard from many of the food blog’s readers who love pigs as much as I do.
First is Piggy Pop (pictured to the left).
Piggy Pop makes Pigs in Blankets easy peasy.
Product Description
Piggy Pop provides a cute and creative way to make Pigs in a Blanket and then some. This is a silicone baking pan that bakes 12 pig shaped treats at a time. Simple and easy to use, you simply fill each of Piggy Pop‘s molds with pancake batter or dough, add the cocktail franks and bake.
Piggy Pop comes with a recipe guide that includes 12 tasty recipes. The baking pan is oven safe and heat resistant up to 500 ° F. I love the fact that it’s dishwasher safe.
Next up – Silicone Pig Pancake Molds (pictured to the right). I love these just as much as Piggy Pop. My grandbaby, Maddox is absolutely obsessed with Pigs (and with adorably making the “oink” sound!) and I cannot wait to make him pig pancakes!
Product Description
With these adorable molds, you can make 20 pig-shaped candies (or chocolates, jell-o, ice cubes…) at once. The molds are BPA free and made from high quality 100% food grade silicone.
These are safe for use in the oven, freezer, microwave, and dishwasher.
Simply pour your favorite recipe in the mold, prepare, and cool completely. Then turn it upside down, this flexible silicone candy molds offers a non-stick surface that allows the sweets to pop right out with a little push from the bottom.
If you prefer another animal, when you click through, you’ll find other animals and shapes available on Amazon.
The Pig Pallet Art Wall Hanging combines two of my favorite things – pigs and a rustic look. Love it!
The Pallet Art measures approximately 9″ by 12″ and comes ready to hang with a saw tooth hanger or wire picture hanger. These are hand cut and painted so they will vary slightly, making them one of a kind… something that makes it even better in my book.

Part of my pig collection now sits on top of the hutch in our kitchen. My grandbaby LOVES pigs and he LOVES lights… so pigs and lights, it is!
eBay is a great place to find vintage pig collectibles, as are Hobby Lobby and Amazon.
See my buddy above? FrankenPig? I’m totally in love with him and don’t mind you knowing it. My youngest daughter and son-in-law gave me this adorable wall hanging a few weeks ago… a “just because we love you and we’re awesome people” gift. They know how much I’m obsessed with both pigs and this time of year – so they thought of me when they saw it.
At least that’s why I assume they thought of me. Hmmm….
Anyway, I know I have a lot of fellow pig lovers and collectors that visit the food blog, so I wanted to show him to you. They bought it at Kirkland’s here in Owensboro, but your local Kirkland’s may have one too.
I checked Kirkland’s website and couldn’t find him BUT they have a ton of other pig lovelies. Just enter pig in the search box and prepare to say, “So long!” to your money.
Or is that just me?
The black and white Retro Kitchen Apron, pictured above, would make a perfect Mother’s Day gift idea (whether you’re buying it for your own mother or dropping hints for your own present!).
They’re all so cute AND inexpensive, in fact, that a lot of people are buying them two/three at a time. They’d make a wonderful gift idea for Mother’s Day, Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries… any time, for any lovely cook in your life.
There are even more impossibly cute aprons pictured below. So many to choose from, right?!
I am all about the whimsy! ALL ABOUT IT… so, as you’d expect, I don’t just have a whimsical kitchen, I have a whimsical home.
Scratch that – I have a whimsical LIFE.
So, naturally, these Whimsical Whisks on Amazon have caught my eye. It’s just a matter of deciding which one I want first:
The Carrot Whisk
The King Kong Whisk
The Bird Whisk
Each time I think I’ve made up my mind, I change it again. Seems whimsical isn’t all I am – indecisive tops the list as well.

More fun in the kitchen from Fred & Friends Below…
A while back (actually quite a while, I believe) I wrote a review or Rachael Ray’s Moppines. Loved them then, loved them now. This morning, while thinking of great last minute Christmas gift ideas for cooks, I thought of these moppines and how much I love them. I checked Amazon and, sure enough, if you order them asap, they’ll arrive before Christmas.
Speaking of love, I’ve got NOTHING but mad love for Amazon, too.
Since reviewing my own red moppines, A LOT of gorgeous new colors have been added to the Moppines Collection – meaning you can go all matchy matchy with anyone’s kitchen color scheme.
And they are all gorgeous. Click here to take a closer look.
If you order soon, you can still have this Stoneware Honey Pot delivered by Christmas. Le Creuset has an unreal number of gorgeous stoneware lovelies for the kitchen – many of which are also available in this Dijon color. Or, if you’re like me and pretty much go with every color of the rainbow, that’s more than possible too!
While the 2 Piece Non-Slip Kitchen Mat Set (pictured above: Coffee Design), is shown here under the category Christmas Gift Guide, it may be more appropriate to consider it “FOR MY Kitchen… Before Christmas” because most of us like to do a little “sprucing up” before company arrives.
While I love the beautiful designs these mat sets come in, the thing I love the most is the fact that they’re “non-skid” and that their edges won’t “dog ear” like some mats do. Even those with the best intentions tend to do that and it drives me batty.
