Meal prep containers

link to product

These are  great containers for pre prepping lunches or dinners. The plastic is light but hold up well in microwave and dishwasher, the containers are great for controlled portion sizes for those watching their weight or if you are putting together meals for kids lunches or the meals for the elderly. They stack neatly in the freezer or refrigerator. They are great for setting aside meals of leftovers to have for lunch the next day.Container depth is fairly optimal for uniform reheating of leftovers in the microwave

This organic matcha tea powder came in a resealable foil pouch. It has a bright green color and a rich herbal aroma.  It is finely ground with no lumping or caking.  In comparison to o ther matcha powders I have tried I found it to be really excellent quality. Some powders are exceedingly bitter or sometimes have a strong wood like flavor (from stems being ground in) this powder has a strong green tea flavor with the intense herbal like flavor I associate with good green tea.  I tried this mixed in ice cream and in a banana and almond milk smoothie, it lent a nice rich green tea flavor to both. This can be used sparingly as it has a strong flavor, a little goes a long way. I would purchase this product again.

review of cooking thermometer

I recently got an opportunity to try out a Cooking thermometer produced by Chef Remi. I use my crockpot extensively but confess I tend to overcook stuff in it because I worry it's not done enough. This particular tool will help to allay those worries.

I borrowed a thermometer from a friend to do a comparision between the two for accuracy. They matched on the core temp of the roast I had in. The Chef Remi thermometer is really sensitive though, temperature is updated with the smallest shift of the thermometer. It has a nice long probe so you don't have to have your hand stuck in hot oven or over a hot pot or pan. The readout and controls are quite simple to figure out.
There have been many recipes I've seen on the net in the past that I've wanted to try but I did not have this piece of kitchen equipment, now when I see a candy recipe I know there won't be any guesswork or risk.
