Bamboo Pig Cutting Board…. Yes, Please!

June 2, 2020 By Joi Sigers

I have always had a total, complete, and all-consuming love for pigs. If my cats (the one animal I have an even greater affection for) allowed it, I would have one – a female I’d name Patsy Swine. Come on, how could I not?

I often blog about pig collectibles and kitchen items on the food blog because I’ve heard from so many readers who love them almost as much as I do. I say almost because none of y’all have a name picked out for a pig you’ll never have.

This gorgeous bamboo pig cutting board is from Amazon and I am in love with it. It speaks to everything my own kitchen’s decor is about – a rustic/whimsical approach, heavy on pigs.

Here’s the thing – I have always loved pigs greatly. I even began “collecting” pigs for the kitchen over 12 years ago. Then something happened that made me fall even further in love with them and made me want to have them outside of the kitchen as well as inside of the kitchen…. this “something” that happened is a precious, lively, adorable 2 year old named Maddox and he (along with the rest of my family) makes my world go round.

Since he was about 6 months old, he has LOVED pigs and cats (I keep telling people he IS my spirit animal). While he loves all animals, there is a certain, palpable joy that comes over his face and into his voice when he sees a pig or cat (real, stuffed, drawing, figurine…). If it’s a cat, he laughs and meows. If it’s a pig, he laughs and oinks.

Why wouldn’t I want more of that in my life??!

Pig Paper Towel Holder: Pig Collectors will Lover This

September 16, 2019 By Joi Sigers


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.

  • Bring a farmhouse accent to your kitchen with this delightful paper towel holder featuring a fun-loving pig
  • This standing paper towel holder features a dark brown, rustic color that blends cleanly with your country-themed decor
  • The perfect housewarming or birthday gift for animal lovers, and anyone looking to add a country rustic aesthetic to their kitchen
  • Four hooves keep this holder standing evenly on your kitchen
  • Pig Paper Towel Holder, 6-1/4″W x 18-1/2″D x 6-3/4″H; Cold cast ceramic and wood

FUN Pig Molds for Pig Collectors

August 5, 2019 By Joi Sigers

  I have a few things I love to collect and pigs are one of them. Not the real kind, unfortunately. My cats draw the line at sharing their food, attention, cuddles, or beds with anything that snorts.

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

  • Use any dough or pancake batter
  • Fast, fun and easy
  • Dishwasher safe
  • Easy as fill, insert and bake!
  • BPA free

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.

Pig-Shaped Pancake Molds

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

  • Make breakfast more fun with pig-shaped pancakes; bake 2 at a time with this set
  • Stainless steel curled tail functions as a stay-cool handle; folds flat for storage
  • This silicone mold is heat resistant up to 500F, BPA free
  • Dishwasher safe so cleanup is a breeze
  • Designed in the USA

Candy Molds

Last, but not least, the Perny Silicone Pig Candy Molds (left). Again, I am SO anxious to make Maddox pig candy. It’ll be the first Halloween candy I make and you bet it’ll be used for many Christmas candies!

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.

Pig Pallet Art Wall Hanging: Pig Collectors, You’ll Love This

January 28, 2019 By Joi Sigers

I’ve promised to always show you fellow pig lovers and collectors when I find irresistible pig decor or kitchen items.  This one is a beauty.

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.

Click through the link above or picture to the right for more information.

Pigs on Hutch

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.

Today’s Menu: Pig Chef with Chalkboard

May 16, 2016 By Joi Sigers

Today's Menu Pig with Chalkboard for the Kitchen

Often I write about things on the food blog that have blown me away in an attempt to allow you to, also, be blown away. Other times I write about things that I’ve fallen in love with and plan to get my paws on as soon as possible, if not sooner.

The cutie above falls in the latter category – I don’t have him in my possession yet but, trust me, it’s just a matter of time. This Chef Pig Holding Today’s Menu on a Chalkboard is available on Amazon and, if you love pigs like I do, you’re already deciding where to put him.

Product Details:

  • Unique
  • Portable
  • Anytime best buy
  • Excellent party decor to welcome guests
  • Made from polystone

I love the idea of letting everyone know what to expect for supper but, let’s be honest, mostly I just love the cuteness.

Big time!

See  Chef Pig Holding Today’s Menu on a Chalkboard for more information.

Adorable Pig-Shaped Bacon Press

August 5, 2015 By Joi Sigers

Pig Shaped Bacon Press

Pig-Shaped Bacon Press

I know that most of you, like me, are “hog wild” about pigs in the kitchen.  Sorry, I couldn’t resist the pun. I tried. Honest. I hadn’t done a piggy post in a while and thought it was high time I fixed that.

The cutie above is the Cast Iron Pig Bacon Grill Press (available on Amazon).

My own bacon press has an image of a pig on it (of course… pigs are all over my kitchen) – but it isn’t shaped like a pig. That makes this one really stand out, doesn’t it?! For a long time, I just used my bacon press as a decoration… sitting pretty on the stove. Then I actually put her to work one day flattening bacon and, what do you know it actually works.

It’s ideal if you’re making bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches – or if you just want your bacon to stop looking like it has a perm.

Features:

  • Measures 8.5 inches/21.5cm by 5.25 inches/13.5cm
  • Made of heavy cast iron with a wooden knob handle
  • Whimsical pig-shaped press keeps bacon flat during frying
  • Needs to be seasoned before use
  • Hand wash, rinse thoroughly and dry with a paper towel – Never soak cast iron

I love that it’s cast iron, too. Can you say, “Lasts forever”?!

See Cast Iron Pig Bacon Grill Press for more information.

There’s also a round bacon press option (pictured below) – it’s too cute for its own good, too.


Cast Iron Round Bacon Grill Press

The one shown below is the one I have (and love):


Norpro Cast Iron Bacon Grill Press

I’m actually loving all of these so much, I think I need to start collecting bacon presses. More pigs..yay!

Adorable Ceramic Pig Dish

April 29, 2014 By Joi Sigers

Oval Pig Dish

Apparently a lot of you… like ME… are completely obsessed with pigs. Whenever I show you something pig-licious I’ve fallen hard for, I  hear from other pig lovers who are just as crazy about it as I am.

The adorable Pig Oval Dish, above, is my latest pig find and he couldn’t be any cuter if it was his job.

You can find this beautiful hand-crafted, hand-painted ceramic dish through Amazon – for around $10.

Pig Canisters for the Kitchen

April 12, 2014 By Joi Sigers

Pig Canisters for the Kitchen
These little cuties got SUCH a reaction the last time I posted them that I wanted to do an updated post. I think I got more e-mails about these pig canisters than I’ve gotten about anything.

Ever.

Seems I’m not the only person out there who’s obsessed with pigs!

When I’d spotlighted them before, they were available online through another website. Apparently, they got the same type of reaction I did because they must’ve sold out.

I even heard from Pig Collectors, like myself, who were anxious to add this adorable set to their collection.

Hopefully now we can all get our hands on these 3 Little Pigs Whimsical Kitchen Canister Set Farmyard Whimsy Piggy Ceramic Jar Decorative Kitchen Table Counter Top Accent Storage Organization Decoration!

Click the link for more information.

Find more Pigs for the Kitchen on Amazon (pig platters, salt and pepper shakers, plates, mugs…).
