Because it seems like it might be difficult to UNdo, if it ends up being a mistake. But SO USEFUL! How could it be a mistake?<br /><br />Also, the recipe cheat sheet is GENIUS!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05170500094049647497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572319288218404423.post-84805716413215044242010-01-06T10:09:36.443-05:002010-01-06T10:09:36.443-05:00I got my covered bowl from Pampered chef.

I love it, but this post is making me realize that I don't use it NEARLY enough! <br /><br />I also love my Kitchen Aid mixer, but I can't fit it on my counter-top (it's too tall!), so I have to store it under the sink, where I forget about it, and I fear it doesn't get the use it deserves! Poor, poor mixer!<br /><br />And now maybe I'll run out (um, after all this darn snow STOPS) and get myself some GOOD baking pans and some ziplock bags!

If we had an appropriate door I would totally do that in our kitchen.<br /><br />Where did you get that covered glass bowl that you keep the muffin batter in? I love the fact that it has a handle and now I want one so I can make muffins a few at a time.<br /><br />Wait, I lied. I can't live without my crock pot. Especially in the winter. I make huge batches of chili and soup and we eat on them for days. Tomorrow I'm making white chicken chili, something that I would never attempt if I had to make it on the stove top.sagessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08169428901374693619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572319288218404423.post-22471232924818246822010-01-05T15:04:00.778-05:002010-01-05T15:04:00.778-05:00Sarah - they are dishwasher safe, but I don't ...Sarah - they are dishwasher safe, but I don't put them in.

My kitchen is small (and I do mean SMALL) but with some organization and as long as the husband and dog aren't in there with me at the same time, it's a very pleasant room for me to spend time in.

I would just need to prepare the night before and store and heat griddle in the morning to make. Awesome.<br /><br />I love my Cuisinart coffee maker because of the thermos carafe. IT stays hot for about 12 hours. I also looove my extra large pizza pan. I got it years ago after looking for one this big for a looong time. I can make one extra large pizza and divide it to make half our pizza and the other half pepporini only.Bettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12536805575639056231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572319288218404423.post-74268844898663558172010-01-05T12:42:12.326-05:002010-01-05T12:42:12.326-05:00I saw a kitchen that was redone and all the cabine...I saw a kitchen that was redone and all the cabinets were painted with the chalkboard paint. It really was gorgeous, actually. I've also seen a fridge with a chalkboard front; I think I would find that totally useful.<br /><br />I have a small and medium scoop, and I don't know how I managed to make cookies and muffins before them. They make everything go so quickly and smoothly!<br /><br />I use my KitchenAid mixer at least twice, often three times a week. Because of that mixer, I no longer buy bread; I always make my own. <br /><br />I make my own bisquick-type mix and store it in the fridge. I use that at least twice a week, whether for biscuits, pancakes, banana bread or a casserole. It saves so much time. It is less expensive than a processed variety and soooo much healthier. Yep, that "master mix" is definitely a handy tool.artemisiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048259618106957687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572319288218404423.post-77482934420763181352010-01-05T12:08:12.584-05:002010-01-05T12:08:12.584-05:00Ditto on the Wilton pans, stand mixer, Pyrex anyth...Ditto on the Wilton pans, stand mixer, Pyrex anything (agreeing with Jess), my Cuisinart food processor, and my big set of knives.

My favorite things in my kitchen are my set of three stackable cooling racks, and the electric hand mixer my mom gave me when they were downsizing. She never used it, but I use it all the time. A Kitchen Aide mixer has been at the top of my wish list for a few years now, but I just don't have the space for one in my current kitchen. It is just too hard to justify the expense when I don't have the storage space anyway. As soon as I have a larger kitchen though, it will be my first purchase!fairydogmotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07901824447445942886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572319288218404423.post-47564030638769297132010-01-05T10:50:48.299-05:002010-01-05T10:50:48.299-05:00This post is AWESOME.

I am already trying to mentally scout out where it would fit best in our house.<br /><br />Let's see, what do we love in our kitchen. We used a wedding gift card to Williams-Sonoma to purchase a non-stick griddle, which was Torsten's idea and I thought wouldn't be worth it--but in fact we use it all the time, for breakfasts and dinners. I also love my stand mixer. The Pyrex glass dishes are great. I also use the Pyrex glass measuring cups a lot. We have a two-story dish rack that is fabulous. And I don't drink coffee but Torsten has a DeLonghi coffee maker that he bought refurbished for half price and he gets incredible use out of that thing.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942269316108576622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572319288218404423.post-30831855034526703452010-01-05T10:31:09.519-05:002010-01-05T10:31:09.519-05:00Dude, I LOVED reading this post!

Hmm, maybe I need to think that suggestion through...<br />Anyways, I love the scoops. I have a BIG one that's really only good for muffin tins, not cookies. That's something I always suggest as a stocking stuffer and is always forgotten about. I think it's time to just go BUY ONE for myself.<br />I also appreciated the bakeware suggestion. My pans always look like crap by about six months in, and I've been searching for good ones, but I'm too afraid to buy any without hard and fast proof that they won't rust and look gross eventually! So you're saying these can be put through a dishwasher and they'll still look ok?Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07141742419364168878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572319288218404423.post-61422340737369688632010-01-05T10:26:54.396-05:002010-01-05T10:26:54.396-05:00There is a Wilton pan that makes a bunch of little...There is a Wilton pan that makes a bunch of little truck cakes that I've been wanting for years.
