I’ve had this meat chopper for years, and it’s still in great shape. I make a lot of recipes with ground meat, such as chili, tacos and a family favorite, sloppy joes, so this gets used regularly. It breaks up the meat easily and into the perfect consistency.

Okay, so these might not help me in the kitchen, BUT they are so cute! I have a small ledge on my counter between the wall and the sink, so at just over 3 inches wide, the wooden stand to place them on is perfect. The labels help my kids know which dispenser to use. And yes, I also bought the matching sponge holder.

Where has this strainer been all of my life? It is small and compact, and so it doesn’t take up much space in my drawers. It is very easy to use, and I’ve used it for straining noodles as well as draining the fat while cooking meat beef.

I don’t know why, but hand-free can openers make me happy. The kids like to watch this do its job, which it does well, and it leaves no sharp edges on the can! It’s also smaller than most can openers, so it takes up less space in my drawer, and that’s always a plus!
