Save and Print Recipes, thanks to Ziplist!

March 22, 2013 by kim Leave a Comment

I don’t know if you guys have noticed, but when I switched over to WordPress, I also teamed up with Ziplist to create that user friendly recipe box at the bottom of all my posts. They’ve helped make it easier to save recipes and print ingredient lists straight from my blog, which in turn helps you stay on top of the recipes that you want to try.

I’m still slowly converting all of my recipes over to having that box at the bottom, but please be patient with me. There are a lot of recipes to go through!

Curious as to how it all works? Well, click on the “recipe box” in the navigation bar on my homepage:

That’ll take you to this:

There, you can manage recipes, create grocery lists, and find grocery deals all in one place. How easy is that? To save a recipe on my blog (we’ll be using the last post for microwave brownie in a cup), simply click on the blue button that says “save recipe.” Once you log into your ziplist account, the recipe will be saved in your file.

You can also “print” recipes with the button right next to the “save recipe” button. Obvious, I know… but sometimes you miss what’s right in front of you. I know I do that all the time.

The best part is that your Ziplist account will connect the recipes from other blogs and websites that offer Ziplist as well. All of your favorite recipes from blogs like Martha Stewart, Woman’s Day, Simply Recipes, and Recipe Girl will be saved in one spot.

I hope this helps some of you out (or at least makes organizing recipes a little bit easier)!

My New (ish) Kitchen

September 3, 2012 by kim 9 Comments

I’ve gotten a couple of requests from readers to post my kitchen from my apartment that I moved into at the end of May and am finally getting around to it. It’s a LOT more spacious than my previous apartment and I love everything about it. The glass door cabinet, the granite countertops, the new stainless steel appliances, and the plethora of cupboards won me over when we were looking at apartments. If the kitchen’s amazing, then the rest of the place doesn’t matter. Okay, that’s not 100% true, but the kitchen does play a huge factor.

Yes, it’s still an electric stove, but it sure as heck beats my old one with coils.

There’s two entrances into the kitchen and it gets a good amount of natural daylight from our balcony. There’s more cabinets and counter space to the left of the last picture that I forgot to take a picture of.

Also, these pictures were taken before I moved in, which explains why it’s so clean and empty. I’ve never been one to use dishwashers before, but having one now, I don’t know how I ever lived without one. It’s one magical little machine, I tell ya.

Another awesome feature about this kitchen is the corner cabinet on the bottom. It opens up to a two story lazy susan. Love!

Well, that concludes the tour of my little kitchen. Hope you enjoyed it!

My Must-Have Kitchen List

July 19, 2011 by kim 11 Comments

This post is going to be a bit different from the usual. I just moved into my apartment this past weekend (but came back home for my friend’s wedding and will be officially moving out the first), so I thought it’d be fun to compile a list of my kitchen necessities. Moving out, I realized that there’s plenty of accessories that you take for granted, like a can opener or kitchen towels. You kind of forget they’re there because they always have been. Does that even make any sense?

Moving out gave me an empty palette; Start from scratch and buy everything that I need in order to furnish my own kitchen. Here’s a list of the basics that made it into my kitchen:
Screen shot 2011-03-10 at 9.10.16 AM

Rubbermaid 24 Piece Container Set:: This is something I never would have remembered if it wasn’t for seeing a steal online. Where else would you store leftovers?

Screen shot 2011-03-10 at 9.13.27 AM
Pyrex Measuring Cup:: Used for every recipe in the kitchen, pyrex measuring cups are my favorite because they’re durable, made out of glass (no leftover residue, smells, or grease!), and have bold, red lines that are easy to read.

Screen shot 2011-03-10 at 9.18.33 AM
Corelle Dishes:: This set above is actually the exact set I bought online for my kitchen. Since my kitchen’s theme color was going to be a “Tiffany” blue, these fit right in. Corelle dishes are also a favorite because they’re shatter resistant, lightweight, and last forever. I’ve never had any other brand of dishes in my household besides Corelle and that’s for a dang good reason. I can’t tell you how many plates my family have dropped! Good thing they don’t break easily… unless you’re using a hammer or really trying. Plus, since I’ll be living with my boyfriend (who isn’t exactly the most coordinated person, on earth), these will survive. I bought mine from Walmart online and had them shipped to store for free. I’ve found that Walmart has the best selection of Corelle dishes.

Nordic Ware Baking Sheet:: I’ve used many baking sheets before, but these aluminum pans are the ones I have had the best luck with. They evenly bake my cookies with no burnt bottoms or sides. I actually bought these pans in 2 different sizes so that I could bake/cook different sized items.
Screen shot 2011-03-10 at 9.30.20 AM
Silpat Sheets:: Siplat sheets are a lifesaver in the kitchen. They keep your mess from getting all over the place, protect your sheets, and are quite versatile when you need more counter space. They wash easily and can withstand a lot of abuse. Plus, they come in a ton of different sizes to fit your needs.
Screen shot 2011-03-10 at 9.22.13 AM
KitchenAid 17 Piece Starter Set:: Well, this one’s pretty self explanatory. All the stuff you need to cook with in one pack. How convenient.
Screen shot 2011-03-10 at 9.38.23 AM
KitchenAid Knife Set:: Hey, you have to cut stuff up sometimes, too.
Screen shot 2011-03-10 at 9.41.54 AM
Cuisinart Stainless Steel 7 Piece Cookware Set:: I really don’t know anything about pots and pans because this isn’t my speciality, but you definitely need some in a bare kitchen.
Screen shot 2011-03-10 at 9.48.06 AM
Farberware Bamboo Cutting Board:: I’ve always been a fan of bamboo cutting boards over the regular plastic ones. They’re easier to clean, less greasy, and look nicer. Done deal.
Screen shot 2011-03-10 at 9.50.43 AM
Keurig Machine:: I actually got this as a gift for Christmas from my DB’s mom and it’s one of the greatest inventions ever. Sure, it’s a little pricy, but it’s totally worth it. For just my DB and I, there’s no need to make a whole pot of coffee…. one cup will do just fine. Annnndddd, they have a ton of different flavors to please everyone! My personal favorites are the Cafe Mocha (which tastes just like a dark hot chocolate) and Chai Tea Latte.
Screen shot 2011-03-10 at 9.53.37 AM
Black & Decker Toast-R Oven:: I’ve always had a toaster oven in my house and my DB never did until he met me. I personally don’t understand how people can live without one. They’re so convenient! Crisp up some cold pizza, toast your entire sandwich, or make some french bread without wasting all the gas to turn on your oven.
Screen shot 2011-03-10 at 9.20.48 AM
KitchenAid Artisan 5 Quart Series:: And of course… we have the Kitchenaid. How can any kitchen live without one? It’s made my life so much easier. Since my mom wanted to keep the other Kitchenaid I had, I bought a new ice blue one for myself… to go with the kitchen, of course! I did a lot of research debating between the Artisan and the Professional series, but I ended up with the Artisan again because of the price and the quality. Apparently there really isn’t that much of a difference between the Professional mixer and the Artisan one.

Is there anything that I missed/must have? What’s your favorite kitchen item? Feel free to shout them out in the comments!
