Counterscaping

2012-01-17T11:08:00.000-08:00

First a note: I have not been able to log into this blog for a few days. This morning, everything is fine. Have any of you had this problem recently?

Tupperware's new Winter/Spring catalog has some new products that I just love! Counterscaping Containers for liquid and dry products, are pretty enough to sit on your counters, convenient to your prep & cooking area. I've included the link to a 2-minute video about them, below. I love having ingredients at hand when I'm cooking. I am also NOT a member of the clear counter club! Those who know me, know I love my stuff around me. :) That being said, I can see these containers on a nice tray, stashed in a cupboard or pantry, and brought out only when needed.

Liquid Container Set - $39

Dry Seasoning Container Set - $36

It would be great to hear what you think about this new product! So please leave a comment, either way! Thanks!

Focaccia Tiles

2012-01-08T04:57:00.000-08:00

I've been looking at the "Food & Drink" category on Pinterest again! It is a constant source of inspiration for me. This morning, I found this gorgeous photo and delicious-sounding recipe for Focaccia Tiles.

This recipe presents so many possibilities! There must be hundreds of yummy things with which to top this no-knead focaccia bread. The author's choices are just a place to start. One topping for me would be Butter-Balsamic Caramelized Onions. What would you like to add?

Next time I am having friends for drinks & snacks, this will be on the menu! I'd probably cut it smaller, just nibble size.

It's 4:52 am & now I'm craving caramelized onions. LOL!

Enjoy!

Oh My Darling, Clementine!

2012-01-06T03:59:00.000-08:00

I love this time of year! One of my favorite fruits, the Clementine, is abundant & grown right in my own "neighborhood". These little beauties, a type of mandarin orange, are sweet, easy to peel, and almost always seedless. One perfect little package...

I found a recipe for Clementine sorbet on Pinterest that sounds delicious. I am going to try it this weekend. Here's the photo, and the link to the recipe is in the caption.

Enjoy!

The Most Expensive Food Product In Your Kitchen!

2012-01-03T07:33:00.000-08:00

Today, I'm writing about the most expensive food product most of us have in our kitchens.Do you know what that product is?

Pretty, but not the best storage method.

It is the Spices& Dried Herbs youhave on your shelf. Depending on where you live, and the type, these can cost$8 to $10 an ounce.

These productslast about 6 months, with normal storage. You take the top off a jar ofspices, remove the airtight, tamper-proof seal, and the replace the top. Thecontainer is no longer air-tight. The biggest enemies of your spices &herbs are, light, heat & air! (Never store your spices above or next tothe stove.)

You can add the bug problem in there, too! They are especially fond of paprikaand chili powder products.

If youhave had to replace or purchase new spices as you began your seasonal bakingand cooking, you know how costly it can be.

The solution? Enter the Tupperware Spice Containers and Carousel!

Tupperware Spice Containers Complete Set with Carousel

Thesecontainers are on sale for at a 40% discount! (This sale ends on Jan, 13, 2012) They havefeatures that will help you store spices in an organized manner AND keep themfresh up to 10X longer!

·Virtuallyliquid & air-tight

·Frosted sideshelp diffuse light

·Clear frontpanel for easy ID of contents

·Seal has ashaker side & a pour/scoop side

·Stackable

·Set contains 81-cup & 8 1/2-cup shakers

·Carousel fitsin most standard cabinets.

Thecomplete set is $47 (save $32). You can also purchase the shakers without thecarousel, in sets of 4. The 1-cup shakers are $11 (save $8) and the 1/2-cupshakers are $9 (save $6).

You can shop for these by clicking on either the sale flyer or catalog photo in the right sidebar. If you have any questions, just click the "email me" button, and I'll be happy to help!

P.S. You really need two of these. One for your baking spices, and one for your cooking spices, blends & rubs.

Here's another great tip:

Fill one large container with bandaids, ointment & alcohol swabs (most cuts happen in the kitchen).
Fill another large container with toothpicks. They shake out easily.
And if you're REALLY organized, fill a third with a small spool if clear polyester thread, a pkg. of needles and a small pair of scissors. You're ready for a quick button fix!

Getting Organized

2011-12-31T08:02:00.000-08:00

It's that time of year when we start thinking about the things we want to improve for the new year. Each year, one of my resolutions is to become more organized. How about you? I hear that "organization" is very high on the list of New Year's Resolution.

I am very pleased to say that Tupperware is making that resolution easier to keep! Our wonderful pantry/cupboard storage containers, Modular Mates are on SALE, up to 50% off! And, in addition to the red & blue seals, we once again are offering BLACK seals! Hooray! I can't tell you the times I have been asked for them...

Below, is a photo I took at Tupperware Jubilee last August. If your cupboards or pantry look like the one on the left, I can help with that! The cupboard on the right shows what the products from the left cupboard look like when they are organized, sanitized (bugs? yikes!), and modularized. I'm sure you can see the value and convenience of having your staples stored this way.

Now, I have a gift for you! Subscribe to my E-Newsletter (see the top of the right sidebar) and I will email to you a chart with sizes, shapes & container capacity for our Modular Mates! You'll be able to decide which containers will work best for you. I am always ready to help you with your custom kitchen planning, too! Just click the "email me" button & let me know you'd like a phone or on-line consultation; it's FREE.

For those of you who already subscribe, just click that same "email me" button, and let me know you are a subscriber and that you'd like to receive the info too!

Be sure to come back next Tuesday, 1/3/2012, for a post about storage solutions for the very most expensive food item you have in your kitchen!

Composting?

2011-10-05T09:22:00.000-07:00

We have been composting for several years. Collecting kitchen scraps is an easy way to fortify that deliciously dark "food" for your soil and your fruits and veggies. How to manage the scraps, not so much.

I have seen lots of kitchen scrap bins that sit on the counter, but have been worried about odor & fruit flies/gnats. Then at Tupperware Jubilee in August, I saw a demo that put those worries to rest.

Imagine it...I had the solution right ~~at my fingertips~~ in a box in my garage! The Tupperware Access Mates® Large Container is perfect! It has a tight seal, and a wide opening in the access panel. It even comes with a a "Veg-Out" vented seal for potatoes, onions, etc., which is how I use them in my pantry. I guess that's why I never thought of using one as a kitchen scrap bin? By the way, the container corrals all the papery onion skins and dirt from potatoes, which is very helpful.

I learned that if you crumple a couple of sheets of newspaper and place them in the bottom of the container, it eliminates odors if you don't carry scraps out right away. It is working perfectly for us!

The container has a 5-qt. capacity, and is dishwasher safe. (Just in case you forget it for a couple of days and get a "science experiment" growing inside.)

The container can be purchased on my shopping website <HERE>. The cost is $35.00 and the seal colors available are Brilliant Blue & Passion (red). Sorry, green is no longer available.

YUM! Salmon Carpaccio & Halibut Tartare

Happy Bratwurst Day!

2011-08-16T07:41:00.000-07:00

Do you love Bratwurst as much as I do?

According to Wikipedia, Bratwurst is a sausage usually composed of veal, pork or beef. The plural in German is Bratwürste.

The name is German, derived from Old High German Brätwurst, from brät-, which is finely chopped meat and Wurst, or sausage. Though the brat in bratwurst described the way the sausages are made, nowadays Germans associate it with German verb “braten”, which means to pan fry or roast. Bratwurst is usually grilled or pan fried, and sometimes cooked in broth or beer.

The following link to the Wikipedia page has some interesting info on the types & history of brats.

Wikipedia - Bratwurst

My brother lives in Wisconsin, where cooking brats is an art and a science. He makes his own venison brats that are so delicious! I prefer them grilled, with mustard of any kind.

Speaking of mustard, here's a recipe that I copied from the web several years ago. I can't figure out where I copied it, so if the recipe is yours, just let me know & I'll post credit. And whoever you are, THANK YOU! This stuff rocks!

MUSTARD BEER BUTTER

Mustard beer butter goes well with grilled pork and pork products, especially sausages. That’s not to rule out grilled chicken or fish. Unwrap the roll and cut it crosswise into ½ inch thick slices. Place a slice on the hot grilled food.

This recipe will go great with sausage! What can be a better combo? This recipe brings together sausage, mustard, and beer! To reinforce the mustard flavor use three types: seed, powder, and prepared. The choice of the prepared mustard is up to you, a French mustard will give you a different flavor than a honey mustard … pick your choice. It will make for a great combo either way!

Ingredients:

2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
2 teaspoons black mustard seeds
¼ cup finely chopped shallots
½ cup dark beer
2 teaspoons wine or distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 tablespoons prepared mustard, or more to taste
8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, at room temperature

Place both mustard seeds, the shallots, vinegar, and beer in a small saucepan and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a medium and simmer until most of the beer has evaporated and the mixture is thick and syrupy. for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and cool to room temperature.
Place the mustard powder, prepared mustard, and butter in a mixing bowl and stir or whisk until light and fluffy. Stir in the mustard-beer mixture. Correct the seasoning, adding more prepared mustard or vinegar if needed.
Wrap, roll, and store the butter . this will make about ¾ a cup and will serve up to 12 people.

Happy Grilling!

Pasta Perfect in Minutes!

2011-08-15T08:20:00.000-07:00

I am having so much fun with my new Tupperware Microwave Pasta Maker & 25 Pasta Creations Cookbook!

My Summerfest Demo Table

Pasta Perfect, Oodles of Noodles, Lotsa Pasta Menu of Parties!

The weekend I brought my sample home from SummerFest, I made Shrimp Fra Diavolo. The "Everyday Marinara" recipe is kicked up (cheers, Emeril!) with crushed red peppers and served with sautéed shrimp, over pasta. I used gemelli. It was delicious, and got two thumbs up from the husband and daughter!

Last night, I made the Chicken Picatta from the cookbook, and served over shell pasta. This was a very easy recipe. I took some photos along the way. I hope you'll enjoy them!

Ingredients were easy and I keep most on hand.

Sauteed chicken breast slices; EVOO, salt & pepper.

Chopped a shallot & garlic - love my Tupperware Santoku knives!

Pasta & cold water in the microwave pasta maker, nuked for about 16 minutes while I made the white wine sauce.

Finished Product.

I forgot to take a photo of the sauce prep, and I was so busy getting the food plated, I didn't get a photo of the them either. I promise, they looked pretty with the chicken composed over the shells and the chopped Italian parsley & lemon slices.

I loved it! The white wine sauce is delicious. My husband was less impressed. His comment was "it's okay". I'll qualify that by telling you that in his world, pasta should have gobs of red meat & red sauce! I have plan-overs for another couple of meals for my daughter and myself. He'll get tube steaks! :)

The pasta maker worked like a charm. No boil over, and no watching and NO additional heat in the kitchen. I'm hooked!

National S'mores Day!

2011-08-10T06:39:00.000-07:00

For our family, S'mores present the fondest of memories. From the time we were little kids, my family camped. First, in a tent, then a trailer & then in my parent's dream 5th wheel. No matter how luxurious the "abode, we spent most of our time outdoors, and never camped where we couldn't have a campfire.

The campfire was a nightly tradition, which we all loved! We sang silly songs, listened to my folks tell stories, and of course, ate S'mores!

Now, after all these years, anytime I bite into a warm, gooey, chocolaty S'more, I am transported back to those sweet times!

Since this is National S'mores Day, we're making S'mores tonight, for sure! Mine may be in the form of a S'mores Martini...

No one is sure who invented S'mores, but it may have been the Girls Scouts. (I'd like to think so...)According to the National Historic Preservation Center:

"We don't really have a history of how or when some-mores (or S'mores) were invented. Our records show only that they appeared first in our 1927 book Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts. The 1927 recipe for "Some More" calls for "16 graham crackers, 8 bars plain chocolate (any of the good plain brands broken in two), and 16 marshmallows."

Bless them, whoever they are!

Raspberry Chipotle Baby Back Ribs

2011-07-05T08:13:00.000-07:00

Erin at The Queen of Tarts Blog posted a Raspberry Chipotle Ribs recipe the other day that just had to be a part of my 4th of July menu!

My family loves baby back pork ribs, and with raspberry & the tasty heat from the chipotles in adobo, I knew it would be a hit.

The sauce is so easy to make! Took all of 5 minutes to assemble and mix the ingredients, then 5 minutes to simmer. It is so good, everyone kept "tasting" it. My husband even dunked a celery stick from the veggie tray in it. He pronounced it, "mighty good"!

Leftover Sauce is a GOOD thing!

The BBQ King grilled the ribs to perfection. But you'll have to take my word for it. I was so intent on getting everything on the table, I forgot to take a photo until we were finished! Everyone LOVED these ribs!

DISCLAIMER: Under normal circumstances, I would never show "after" photos of a meal. But...

Raspberry Chipotle Ribs

As for the leftover sauce? Erin suggested pouring over a block of cream cheese and serving it with crackers as an appetizer. That is a definite possibility. But it will more likely show up on grilled chicken in a day or two!

Please try these ribs! If you like sweet/spicy BBQ, you're going to LOVE these!

Strawberry Cake

2011-07-03T07:34:00.000-07:00

I promised a Facebook friend, Melissa from "Cooking with Mel" I'd post the recipe for my microwave Strawberry Cake. Yes, I said microwave. It was HOT here yesterday, but I wanted a dessert because I had invited a friend to dinner. AND, I had strawberries that had to be used...if you know what I mean!

Below, are photos of the cake, one from the cookbook and one of my cake.

Cookbook Photo

My Cake

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 pkg (18.25 oz.) yellow cake mix - I used white cake mix since that's what I had
3 eggs
1 can (21 oz.) strawberry pie filling - I finely chopped & macerated my own berries in sugar

Directions:
Prepare a microwaveable bundt/tube pan by greasing and sprinkling with the granulated sugar. Mix the cake mix and eggs together thoroughly. Add the pie filling and mix until well blended. Pour batter into the baking pan. Microwave on High Power (100%) for 10-12 minutes, until the cake is just moist on top. If your microwave doesn't have a turntable, you'll want to rotate the pan 1/4 turn, every 2 minutes.

I used my Tupperwave Stack Cooker for this. I used the 3 qt. casserole with the cone. In my new microwave, the cake only took 8 minutes. Since microwaves are all different powers, you just have to experiment. You can have a cake that resemble a brick if you overcook it. :o)

Stack Cooker - Click HERE for more info

You can combine just about any flavor cake mix and pie filling. WARNING: Yellow cake & blueberry filling give you something the color of swap water. We'll not discuss how I know THAT!

You'll also notice that my cake doesn't have little piped bits of cream & strawberries. No, we piled on the whipped cream, made fresh in my Whip 'N Prep (in about a minute) and fresh sliced strawberries!

Hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July!

Chill Out!

2011-06-11T07:35:00.000-07:00

Summer is POPSICLE time!

One of my favorite memories as a kid is my mom making fruit or pudding pops in her Tupperware Ice Tups™ Set. Whether it was a grape or an orange bar, or the occasional chocolate pudding pop, it was always such a treat on a warm, summer day!

The tradition continues! Tupperware's Mid-June sale flyer features the new Lollitups™ Set.

Make fun, penguin-shaped fruit popsicles for your kids with this exclusive new product. Just add your own ingredients―fruit juice or purée, ice cream, flavored beverages or other treat. They’re easy to fill and simple to seal.

Lollitups stand on their own two “feet,” so there’s no need for a separate tray. To keep them from getting separated, simply clip their “beaks” together until ready to eat. Once removed from the mold, the cover becomes a base that shields against messy drips and sticky fingers. Kids can even stand them upright on a table before finishing.

• Set of six.

• Each Lollitup includes a cover/base and ¼-cup/65 mL mold.

• Make healthy yet delicious Lollitups using water flavored with natural fruit syrup, pure fruit juice; or try smoothies or yogurt or milk shakes.

• In Orange/Green.

• Dishwasher safe.

$24.00 per set (Available online HERE)

The Mickey Mouse Ice Tups™ Sets are also still available HERE.

Spring Food Festival, Part 2 - Rhubarb!

2011-03-30T08:23:00.000-07:00

Did you try either of the Asparagus recipes I posted last time? I hope you will. The really are delicious and worth your time!

Today, I'm going to focus on another favorite (of mine, at least) - Rhubarb!

I think I like it so well because it reminds me of my maternal grandma. Stewed rhubarb was a staple in her kitchen...

From Wikipedia: "Rhubarb is a group of plants that belong to the genus Rheum in the family Polygonaceae.

They are herbaceous perennial plants growing from short, thick rhizomes. They have large leaves that are somewhat triangular-shaped with long fleshy petioles. They have small flowers grouped in large compound leafy greenish-white to rose-red inflorescences.

Although the leaves are toxic, various parts of the plants have culinary and medicinal uses. Fresh raw stalks are crisp (similar to celery) with a strong tart taste; most commonly the plant's stalks are cooked and used in pies and other foods for their tart flavour. A number of varieties have been domesticated for human consumption, most of which are recognised as Rheum x hybridum by the Royal Horticultural Society.

Rhubarb is usually considered to be a vegetable; however, in the United States, a New York court decided in 1947 that since it was used in the United States as a fruit it was to be counted as a fruit for the purposes of regulations and duties. A side effect was a reduction in taxes paid.

Here are the links to the Rhubarb recipes:

~ Martha Stewart's Mini Raspberry-Rhubarb Gallettes
(I haven't tried this one, but I saw her make them on her TV show & they made my mouth water!)

~ Allrecipe.com's Streusel Rhubarb Bread

I've listed and linked a few products that would help with these recipes. Click on the HERE for more information.

Spring Food Festival - Asparagus!

2011-03-23T10:44:00.000-07:00

Spring is officially here! During the next couple of months, we'll be able to take advantage of all the delicious & healthy spring produce at our Farmer's Markets and from our own gardens. Depending where you live of course... ;o)

I am going to take the next few days to talk about spring produce and provide links to recipes that I've tried, or in some cases, want to try.

I hope you'll enjoy them! So, on with the Festival!

Today's spring produce star is Asparagus! This is my absolute favorite spring vegetable!

From Wikipedia: "Asparagus officinalis is a spring vegetable, a flowering perennial[1] plant species in the genus Asparagus. It was once classified in the lily family, like its Allium cousins, onions and garlic, but the Liliaceae have been split and the onion-like plants are now in the family Alliaceae and asparagus in the Asparagaceae. Asparagus officinalis is native to most of Europe, northern Africa and western Asia, and is widely cultivated as a vegetable crop.

Only young asparagus shoots are commonly eaten: once the buds start to open, the shoots quickly turn woody and become strongly flavoured. Asparagus is low in calories and is very low in sodium. It is a good source of vitamin B6, calcium, magnesium and zinc, and a very good source of dietary fiber, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, thiamin, riboflavin, rutin, niacin, folic acid, iron, phosphorus, potassium, copper, manganese and selenium[citation needed], as well as chromium, a trace mineral that enhances the ability of insulin to transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells[citation needed]. The amino acid asparagine gets its name from asparagus, the asparagus plant being rich in this compound."

Here are links to two recipes, both I have made and recommend highly!

~Ina Garten's Roasted Asparagus

Mmmm...Dinner In 20 Minutes!

2011-02-24T16:44:00.000-08:00

Does this look like someone might be cooking?

I had my Tupperware Team, over for training last night. One thing we did, was to cook our dinner in a Tupperware SmartSteamer. This is such an innovative product for the microwave! The SmartSteamer uses breakthrough technology, to direct the microwaves away from the food and into the water tray, so that only the water is heated by the microwaves. So, the food is only steamed, not "nuked" also. Brilliant!

It's a product I love! (Click on the Dr.Oz button in the sidebar to see him recommend it.)

This meal was simple, nourishing, delicious and ready in 20 minutes. I really intended to take more photos, but I was talking/training and obviously can't multi-task. We had filled our plates before I thought to snap another photo.

This menu, Salmon with Pink Peppercorns & Oriental Veggies, is a demo I do at my parties. I'll post the recipe below. It is easy, fast & delicious. Most of us can find 20 minutes to cook, even on a busy night. The Tupperware MicroSteamer makes it healthy too! Recipe booklet included.

Don't forget that the SmartSteamer is on sale at 40% off until March 11. Click Here

Recipe - Salmon with Pink Peppercorns & Oriental Veggies:

1 lb. Salmon fillet

1 T. olive oil

2 T. pink peppercorns

1 - 16 oz bag of frozen oriental vegetables (thawed)

2 - T. teriyaki sauce

Cut the salmon into serving size pieces & place in the base of the MicroSteamer. Brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with pink peppercorns.

Place colander on top of steamer base & add thawed veggies. Brush with teriyaki sauce. Place the base & colander on the water tray, which contains 1-3/4 cups water.

Place MicroSteamer in the microwave on "HIGH" for 8 -10 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes. As with all microwave recipes, the time may need to be adjusted for your particular microwave. Mine in a 1200 watt, and it took 9 minutes, because my veggies were still partially frozen.

The set-up, prep & cooking took 20 minutes! Way cool...

Enjoy, Chris

Easy Rainy Weather Recipe

2011-01-30T09:26:00.000-08:00

I'm not going to church this morning, my cold is a doozy and I thought it better not to share it. Besides, not sure Pastor Ed would appreciate my coughing, sneezing and nose-blowing from my usual seat in the front row! *Ü*

After several days of beautiful spring-like weather, we're having a chilly, rainy day, in my neck of the woods. I know many of you are having far worse! I'm sympathetic to all of you who are crying out "ENOUGH, ALREADY" to Mother Nature.

I decided today was a good day for a warming meal. And I've decided to share with you! This recipe for Mexican Lasagna is really easy and fast. It is made in the microwave, ready in about 30 minutes, including prep time. I'm taking the easy route...

I use my Tupperware Vent 'N Serve - Large Shallow container to nuke it, but you could use any similarly shaped 6-cup microwaveable container. The advantage to the Vent 'N Serve container is the ability to cook, freeze, reheat & serve all in the same container. (You could even do it in the oven, adjusting the cookware, times & temps accordingly.) You can view and shop for Tupperware microwave cookware & reheatable containers on my website, HERE.

*Today's Organized Kitchen TIP: Make two of these and put one in the freezer for a quick meal next week.

What a Waste!

2011-01-10T07:55:00.000-08:00

I was reading through one of my favorite blogs yesterday, Kitchen Stewardship, and came upon these statistics. The statistics are from 2008, but the total of discarded food was predicted to be 150 billion pounds by 2009! Where is that total today, in 2011??

Tupperware has great solutions (Clear Mates, FridgeSmarts, Modular Mates, etc.) to help with this tragedy. We also have the means, parties, events, social media, cooking schools, to spread the word and educate consumers! What's my/your Tupperware mission? If I/you haven't figured that out yet, this one could be world-changing!

Imagine that... You, changing the world, one pantry or refrigerator at a time!

Fun, Giftable Ideas

2010-10-19T04:07:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of cute ideas for gift-giving this Halloween & on into the Christmas season. I have them decorated for Fall/Halloween, but you could certainly wrap them up in green and red for Christmas or blue for Hanukkah. Think teacher gifts, office exchanges, Secret Pal, drop in Holiday guests.

The tall containers are Tupperware's Spaghetti Dispensers. These are one of my favorite TW products!

The special insert allows for easy spaghetti pouring and measuring. Great for breadsticks too! Contents stay fresh and quantities visible. Clear container with choice of seal color, Passion (red) or Brilliant Blue. The cost is $11.00. Capacity/Size: 4 ¾-cups (1.1 L); 11 ¼"H x 3 ½"Dia. (28.5 x 9 cm)

They are made to look like sand art. The container on the right is filled with Sand Art Brownie Mix, and the one on the left is Best Bean Soup. The directions and an accompanying poem are on the cards attached. You'll also notice that the soup container has one of our Tupperware Midget containers with the soup seasoning attached.

Cute, even if I do say so myself! (o:

The Pumpkin Poop is just candy corn, purchased in individual bags, stapled to a poem card. I used a baggie here, but I would definitely use a couple of the little pre-packaged bags to avoid any worries for parents of your little ghosts & goblins!

Like these ideas? Here's your chance to have the "recipes" and poems for yourself. Become a Follower of Today's Organized Kitchen blog, leave a comment that you have done so, and I'll send them out to you as my gift. Please note: These will come in the form of an attached Word document. This will allow you to design your own cards. If you are already a follower, just leave me a comment and I'll get them out to you, too!

Enjoy! Chris

Home-Made Cream Cheese

2010-09-02T20:01:00.000-07:00

I decided to try my hand at making my own cream cheese since I needed the whey that is a by-product of the process to make sauerkraut. I have to say that both the cream cheese AND the sauerkraut were delicious!

It's really so easy. Well, except for the first step! Which is, finding anything but low fat buttermilk! (Fortunately, I have since found a couple of places that carry whole buttermilk and also raw milk. Yay!)

I was determined to make the cream cheese, so I used the low fat buttermilk anyway. The result was very tasty, even if not as good as it will be in the future, when I use the whole buttermilk.

Step 1:

I placed a colander over a glass bowl to collect the whey. I placed several layers of cheesecloth in the colander and poured the quart of butter milk into the cheesecloth. I covered it with another layer of cheesecloth to keep out any critters that might happen by. I let this sit overnight on the counter.

Step 2:

First thing next morning, I tied the "cheese" loosely in the cheescloth and hung it on a wooden spoon over the colander. This was to allow every last bit of whey to drip out. This sat all day on the counter.

Step 3:

In the evening, I untied the bundle of cheesecloth and scraped the cream cheese into a dish. This was the second hardest part of the process. It really wanted to stick to the cheesecloth, and I wanted every last bit of it!

Step 4:

Collect all that wonderful whey and place in a glass mason jar in the refrigerator. It will keep for a month or so. I've already used most of it for sauerkraut!

Finished Cream Cheese

Below, is the finished cream cheese. We have had it plain and mixed with fresh thyme and dill from the herb garden. Delish!

I really think you should give this a try! It was easy, fun and I think kids would enjoy the process. The real benefit is that you get something yummy with no undesireable ingredients!

And the WINNER is...

2010-08-16T10:58:00.000-07:00

I am a BIG FAN of zucchini! I like it any way it's prepared. I happened across a recipe for Zucchini & Red Onion Salad on-line and I'm making it tonight!

Thought it would be a good idea to share. Some of you may have lots of zucchini. Mine isn't doing well this year - weird weather I guess. Thank goodness for the Farmer's Market!

The recipe is from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food Newsletter and you can access it HERE. There are 50+ summer squash & zucchini recipes at that link!

How Green Are You?

2010-05-03T07:26:00.000-07:00

This is the "kit" I used for my Earth Day Driveway Dashes. I put it in the trunk of my car, drove to a couple of friend's driveways, and held quick, 30 minute demos on Tupperware's sustainable GREEN products for my girlfriends and their neighbors.

It was a ton of fun, and gave me the opportunity to do something worthwhile for Earth Day and for my business!

First, I want to share Tupperware's drinking water & hot beverage solutions.

Did you know that 85% of the PET water bottles purchased NEVER GET RECYCLED! It takes them 1000 years to biodegrade. Please don't use them! Tupperware has reusable sports bottles, sipper cups for kids, and insulated tumblers with straw seals. Drink your own tap water and save money. Did you know that most of the water in those purchased bottles came from municipal water supplies?

Then, there is the Styrofoam coffee cup...Styrofoam NEVER DEGRADES! This stuff remains in our our landfills forever! The paper cups are a better choice, but even better is a reusable hot beverage mug.

Next, are our microfiber products.

Super absorbent and durable these are the workhorse of your cleaning arsenal. No more paper towels needed for clean-ups, washing windows, or dusting. These towels also dry dishes in a flash!

The towels on the left side of the container our our Microfiber Chef's Towels. These are exactly what you need in the kitchen! They have an ultra-tight weave & larger size. (These are my favorite.)

The towels on the right are our Microfiber Kitchen Towels. I have stacks of these, and use them for just bout everything. Not pictured, are the Microfiber Window & Mirror Cleaning Towels. These you use dry with you favorite cleaning product, for a streak and lint free shine! Keep reading. I have a recipe for home-made window & mirror cleaner.

The two sponges in the front of the container combine the convenience of the sponge with a microfiber cover. The orange sponge has a waffle weave which is great for scrubbing, The yellow sponge has a very soft weave for gentler cleaning, like on cars or wipe-up on furniture. You can see the rest of our microfiber in the Spring-Summer 2010 Catalog.

Last, but certainly not least, we have our FridgeSmart® Containers.

These will save you so much money! No more tossing fresh fruit or vegetables because they spoiled before you could use them! I wrote about these previously, and you can read about them HERE.

To purchase any of these products on line, click on the Spring-Summer 2010 Catalog photo in the sidebar.

Home-made Window Cleaner:

In a spray bottle marked "Window/Mirror Cleaner" mix:

8 oz. Tap Water

8 oz. White Vinegar

8 oz. Rubbing Alcohol

This stuff works great!

So...how green are you?

Modular Math - How to Customize Your Kitchen

2010-01-14T16:17:00.000-08:00

**Reminder** Right now, Modular Mates® are on sale at a 40% discount!

Here's how you can design your own customized cupboards and/or pantry.

First, you need to know that Modular Mates® come in 4 Shapes and 5 Sizes. These canisters were engineered to fit virtually ANY cupboard or pantry configuration, even your RV or boat.

Shapes: Oval, Super Oval, Square & Rectangle

Sizes: Height of a 1, Height of a 2, Height of a 3, Height of a 4, Height of a 5.

Here's a hint. If you are a "scooper" you'll probably like the square & rectangle containers. If you're a "pourer" the oval & super oval are well-suited for that. Or, if you like to pour some things & scoop others, use a combination of the shapes depending on the particular item.

Decide which of the 6 most common storage centers you will install. The centers are: Baking, Snack, Breakfast, Pasta & Rice, Beverage, and Spice.
Determine which cupboard and shelves you'll be using. Measure the shelves front-to-back & side-to-side. Also measure the height between shelves. This is especially important if they are stationary.
Complete the Custom Kitchen Planning Chart. (You'll get the opportunity to request planning materials at the end of this post.)

Remember, if the space between your shelves is 9", that is the height of a 4. You can fill that space with one 4 container, one 3 + one 1 container, two 2 containers or four 1 containers, etc. (See the top/left set in the first photo above, as an example.) Once you know what you want to store, you simply find the container shape & size that best holds that item and fits your storage space.

Tupperware's Modular Mates® are a unique and functional food storage and organization system. This system will save you time, waste, space & taste!

Facts: The containers are dishwasher safe, and carry Tupperware's Limited Lifetime Warranty against chipping, cracking, peeling or breaking, under normal non-commercial use for the lifetime of the product.

To recieve your Custom Kitchen Planning Chart by email, CLICK HERE and complete the Contact Form adding "Planning Chart" in the comments section. If you like my help to design your storage, you can mention that and I'll call you to discuss.

A Custom Kitchen

2010-01-12T08:43:00.000-08:00

First, I apologize for not posting yesterday! Sometimes, I just schedule too much for one day, you know?

Tupperware Modular Mates® are on Special for 40% off!
You can view/purchase them or host an Online Party with your family & friends to earn some free!
CLICK HERE

Let's talk about why you want to customize, organize, sanitize and modularize your kitchen storage.

I know you're busy with family, work, travel, hobbies and life. It's quite possible that your full schedule means that your kitchen storage doesn't get the attention it needs. Disorganization can be frustrating and can lead to feeling overwhelmed and out of control. (Not to mention wasted time, space & money.)

A little organization can make a world of difference! Do your kids or husband constantly ask "Mom! Where's the cereal, crackers, whatever"? Are you constantly out of things you need to prepare a meal? What if you could open your kitchen cabinets or pantry, take a look, and make a shopping list in less than 5 minutes? Now that's organized!

Have you ever found 3 packages of opened brown sugar, all hard as a rock? Worse yet, you're ready to bake and there's no baking powder, ugh! Or here's my favorite, the cracker box with 2 stale crackers in the bottom!

Now if that's frustrating, how about BUGS!?!

Did you know that most of the bugs you find in your cupboards and pantry hitch-hiked home from the grocery store? Think about this: Where does the grocery actually store boxes, bags & bottles before they get to the shelves? That's right, a warehouse. And try as they might to keep things clean (they do don't they?), critters just happen in places like that. What's more, the glue used in food packaging is usually grain/starch-based, for safety's sake. Guess who just loves that? Bugs do, of course. They eat a little, drag their 6 little shoes through it, and even lay their eggs there! Do you REALLY want those boxes in your kitchen? If you do happen to bring home an infested product, if you put it in a Tupperware Modular Mate®, it will contain the pest and keep it from spreading into everything else.

Buying in bulk saves money. Knowing what you have on hand, saves time. Modular containers that fit YOUR cupboards, pantry, boat or RV, save space. THAT's why I love Tupperware Modular Mates®!

C'mon back on Thursday and we'll learn about how to customize the containers to your space, That's Modular Math!

Time to Get That Pantry Organized?

2010-01-09T07:10:00.000-08:00

January is a time of resolutions for many people. If you are one of those, and getting organized is on your list, Tupperware certainly has some wonderful solutions!

Tupperware's Modular Mates® Containers are just the thing to organize your pantry or cupboards. And the best part? They're on sale at $40% off!

If you'd like your cupboards to be "show-off" ready, be able to save space, time and waste, this kitchen "system" by Tupperware is a must-have!

If you're really ready to get your kitchen storage in shape, be sure to visit Today's Organized Kitchen Blog over the next week or so. I will be teaching you all about the benefits of having an organized, sanitized and modularized kitchen. It'll be an online Tupperware demo you can attend in the comfort of your own home! You'll learn about how buying and storing in bulk can save $$, the 6 storage centers, Modular Math (how to determine which canisters are best for your kitchen), and I'll even throw in a recipe or two! When you're ready to start, I'll send some handouts to guide the way.

I hope you'll join me! If you have a particular storage issue or question, please leave a comment and I'll try to answer as the "demo" proceeds. I just added a followers gadget in the sidebar. If you become a follower of this blog, you'll know as soon as I post something new, so that's a handy option.

I'll see you Monday for the first installment of this series!

Have a great Tupper day!
Chris

Spectaular Savings - December 11 - 15

Fun Gift Idea - Sand Art Brownies!

2009-11-03T06:21:00.000-08:00

Tupperware is always providing us with great time, money & space-saving ideas. I know this one isn't new, but I think it's pretty cute.

If you aren't into Tupperware, (you're not? *Ü*) this would be really cute made in a great old canning jar with a circle of Christmas fabric tied to the top.

In this case, it is presented in a Tupperware spaghetti dispenser, which is a cool kitchen tool. The special insert allows for easy spaghetti pouring and measuring. Great for breadsticks too! Contents stay fresh and quantities visible. It's a clear container with choice of seal color: Passion (red) or Brilliant Blue.

Make several of these Sand Art Brownie gifts up to have on hand for quick gift giving. These are wonderful gifts for teachers, neighbors and service persons (mailman/woman, UPS/FedEx driver, favorite waitress) or drop-in guests.

You'll find the Spaghetti Dispenser and all of Tupperware's Modular Mates® containers on my website, listed under "Storage".

Happy Gift Giving! Chris

Happy Birthday Tupperware! Giveaway!

2009-05-05T14:47:00.000-07:00

This month, Tupperware is 63 years young!

In 1946, Earl Tupper introduced Tupperware’s first 2 consumer products, the Wonderlier Bowl® & The Bell Tumbler. Both of those products are still being sold in the current Summer Catalog. What a testament to great design!

You can click HERE to read more about our Tupperware Heritage.

I am proud to have been raised in a Tupperware home. My mom was a consultant for many years! I was surprised the first time I ate at a friend’s home and there was NO Tupperware in the kitchen!

Now I have the privilege to be a consultant myself. To own my own business, to coach others on the Tupperware Systems & Solutions, and to have fun doing it…what’s not to love?? Just imagine the “aha” look on the faces of party guests when you pull a perfectly baked cake right out of the microwave, in 12 minutes! Priceless…

From pantry & refrigerator/freezer organization, to microwave cooking/reheating, to serving & saving, to sustainable products that replace toss-away water bottles, plastic bags & Styrofoam containers, EVERYONE needs Tupperware!!

In honor of Tupperware’s 63rd Birthday, I am giving away some Birthday gifts to you, my readers! (Please note: I will ship internationally for this giveaway!)

Remember those first Tupperware products? You can win a piece of history!

Two lucky readers will each win a 5-pc. set of Wonderlier Bowls & Small Hourglass Salt & Pepper Shakers.

Two more readers will each win a Set of Bell Tumblers, with Sipper Seals, if you’d like them.

Here’s all you need to do:

Go to My Organized Kitchen website and sign up for my Monthly Newsletter & Email updates.*

It’s as simple as that! On Monday, June 1st, I’ll draw 4 names, each to receive one of the gifts.

Good Luck! Chris

Organizing Your Kitchen - Part 1

2009-04-29T09:23:00.000-07:00

Today, I am beginning a series on organizing your kitchen. I’ll be focusing on 4 specific areas, using Tupperware’s 4 basic systems:

1. FridgeSmart® Containers – A system to keep produce fresh longer
2. Modular Mates® Containers – Virtually air-tight, modular pantry storage
3. Microwave Cookware & Reheatable Containers
4. TupperLiving™ Products – Lifestyle enhancers & sustainable/reusable products to replace toss away items

Why organize your refrigerator?
1. Energy savings – your refrigerator & your freezer both perform more efficiently when full.
2. No UFOs (unidentified food objects, AKA science projects)
3. Less waste – if it’s easily accessed, it’ll get used.
4. Save $$ - did you know that the average family discards approximately $600 of spoiled fruits & vegetables a year?

Still not convinced?

An organized home contributes to a sense of calm & well-being! In the case of the kitchen, where we spend a fair amount of time, it can make meal planning & preparation so much easier!

Tupperware’s FridgeSmart® Containers have an innovative venting system that allows produce to breathe, keeping them fresh longer. Each container has two buttons that can be opened/closed to customize the airflow in the container.

For example:
Low (both vents closed) – Asparagus, carrots, ripe berries
Medium (one vent open) – Beans, cabbage, lettuce
High (both vents open) – Broccoli, peas, sweet corn

The containers have a ridged bottom that allows any condensation or moisture to collect in the bottom of the container while holding the produce above the liquid. When fruit & vegetables sit in collected moisture, they spoil faster. The tops of the containers are textured so that they don’t slip when stacked on top of one another. And unlike the plastic bags being sold for the same process, they aren't toss aways. If the container fails, it gets returned & recycled. I have had mine for 4+ years.

The chart for setting the vents by produce type is integrated into the side of the container, so it’s always handy. The containers are sheer enough to see what is inside.

Because these containers are virtually airtight with both vents closed, I also use then for storing lunchmeats and cheese.

Here’s a photo of the inside of my refrigerator. As you can see, the modular design of the containers allows me to fit a ton of stuff in my side by side.

Another way you can save/organize space is to put all the jars, and small containers in your “slime” drawers. I mark the top of some jars that aren’t easily recognizable with a Sharpie.

I have kept broccoli for 6 weeks, even fresh strawberries for 5 days before they started getting mushy! These FridgeSmart® Containers will save you money and help you to eat healthier meals, full of great, fresh produce.

You can shop for them now by clicking either the catalog or the “Shop Now” icon in the right sidebar.

Next, I’ll be telling you all about Tupperware’s Modular Mates® Containers. How cool would it be to have your pantry staples stored in airtight (bug-proof) containers, and organized into 6 “centers”?

-Pasta & Rice
-Breakfast

2009-04-10T09:02:00.000-07:00

He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.
Matthew 28:6 NIV

Hallelujah! Jesus, my Savior lives!

Lord, I thank you for my own salvation & I pray that many will come to know your saving grace in my own church and in churches around the world this Sunday! Holy Spirit, urge them to come. Preachers, "tell the old, old story of Jesus & His Love"! In Jesus' precious name, Amen!

Dear friends, I wish you and your families the blessings of Easter, Chris

Arrgh! Plastic Water Bottles & Styrofoam Cups & Containers!

2009-04-05T06:34:00.000-07:00

(Hint: There is a duplicate of this post over at my Refining Life blog, with a different giveaway! You can enter both!)

Did you know that Americans consumed 50 billion single serve water bottles in one year? It is estimated that only 2 in 10 bottles are recycled. Where are the rest? You got it, in landfills. These PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bottles take 1000 years to biodegrade! Then, you need to consider the energy consumed in the manufacture, transportation and disposal of these items. Does this concern you?

Now, let's talk about Styrofoam (Polystyrene) cups & containers! While the technology for recycling polystyrene is available, the market for recycling is very small and shrinking. Most of it ends up in the landfills, and it often breaks up into small pieces that can choke animals & clog their digestive systems.

I plan to eliminate these things from my home and lifestyle! Won't you join me? It's pretty simple really.

Get a nice sturdy travel mug for you hot beverages (see below)

Purchase a reusable sports bottle for drinking water on-the-go

Take your own "to go" box when you eat out. Stick it your purse and when it's time to corral the leftovers, you won't be taking styrofoam home.

Edited to add: My buddy Doodles reminded me that I neglected to mention plastic bags! Here some info that she has provided on her blogs that are MUST READ! Thanks, my friend!

Giveaway!

I think this is so important! If you'll leave a comment on this post by Saturday April 11th, I'll enter you in a drawing to win a Tupperware Commuter Mug like the one pictured above! And please, spread the word!

Visit My Organized Kitchen website & sign up for my newsletter, and you'll get two enteries!

Cheers! Chris

"Investment" Cooking

2009-02-21T08:34:00.000-08:00

What is "Investment" Cooking?

Enjoy a freezer full of nutritiously prepared homemade meals
Enjoy great savings by buying in bulk and cutting WAY BACK on take-out
Cut your grocery bill in half (and more!)
Save time

Do I have your attention now?

There are three steps to Investment Cooking.

Choose a time to prepare meals ahead. Have the groceries on hand, the recipes set out.
Collect grocery sale flyers and coupons during the month. Price watch! Bulk buy whatever is on sale that you can use in your PLANNED meals. Choose recipes based on what the best buys are and what your family enjoys (no use saving (?) money on a dish no one will eat).
After cooking, pack it all in the freezer. You'll need to keep an organized freezer - remember FIFO.

Does this sound interesting? Want to learn how?

Would you like to attend a free upcoming Webinar all about Investment Cooking? (date & time will be determined by interest)

If the answer is yes, please leave a comment with your email address or email it to me at everydaykitchen@yahoo.com. I will send you all the details regarding the date & time as well as instructions for attending the webinar. There will be how-to photos, recipes and much more! I'll even be drawing a name for a Tupperware prize from webinar particpants! I hope you'll join me for this fun & informative session!

If you’ve been reading this blog over the last couple of weeks, then you’ve learned that I believe that FridgeSmart is a kitchen “must-have”! The beautiful array of spring produce (our local strawberry stand has been open for a few days – whoo hoo!) and the soon to begin Farmer’s Market have me dreaming of crisp, ripe veggies & luscious fruits!

In celebration of the season and Tupperware’s 60th birthday, the company has created a TOWER of FridgeSmart at a 50% savings! This set also shows off a new color configuration – Watermelon, Apricot & Orange Peel! Yummm!

8 pieces, with a value of $115 are on sale for $57.75! This set includes two each of the Mini, Small and Medium FridgeSmart® Containers, plus a Medium Long and a Medium Deep container.

Now, you can keep your produce fresh longer, save $$ and dress up your refrigerator all at the same time!

Here’s a quick and easy recipe to enjoy with those spring strawberries, or to dip cookies in...if you must!

Lemon Delight
1 container (8 oz) whipped cream cheese
1 Tbsp sugar
1 container (6-8 oz) lemon yogurt
1 lemon, zest and juice
1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed

Directions
In Quick Chef with paddle blade, blend cream cheese, sugar, lemon yogurt, lemon juice and lemon zest until smooth and creamy. Add whipped topping and continue blending until smooth. Place into Snack Cups with the Saucy Silicone Spatula and serve with fresh strawberries or cookies.

Happy Birthday TUPPERWARE!

This month, Tupperware celebrates 60 Years of Partying!

What started as a few plastic containers with air-tight/liquid-tight seals, designed by Du Pont chemist Earl Tupper, has become a whole set of Systems and Solutions that simplify our lives!

From the Hardware Store Shelves to Home Parties to Mall Kiosks to the Internet, Tupperware's business plan has evolved to meet consumer’s lifestyles & buying habits!

Brownie Wise, a single mother with a flair for marketing & a love of people, helped to launch the home party phenomenon for which Tupperware is legendary!

Tupperware was THE FIRST Home Party Business. The hundreds that have followed have Earl Tupper & Browine Wise to thank for their vision!

In March 2008, Tupperware Brands Corporation was ranked #2 Household Brand on Fortune's Most Admired Companies list!

This is Birthday Month! It's a time when Tupperware consultants worldwide strive to give the company a huge present...record-breaking sales! We are ALL trying to make sales goals that are a very big s-t-r-e-t-c-h for us! My goal for the month of May is $15,000!! Will you help me reach my goal? The posts coming in the following days will tell you how you can help me sell more Tupperware in one month than I ever have before!

Tupperware has given us some awesome tools to meet these goals! Consumers, hosts & consultants will all be richly rewarded by Tupperware during May!

Stay tuned! The news is incredible!!
