If you're searching for the perfect gift or hostess present for someone who cooks or loves avocados (like myself 😉), check out the items below.

A while ago, one of my reader-friends gifted me a set of flexible, stackable red bowls, and they’ve truly been a game-changer in my kitchen. These bowls offer several practical advantages:

You can squeeze it into a small space inside your dishwasher.
Easy to smash a recipe like guacamole or thick cracker dough up against the sides while mixing.
They're lightweight and stackable.
They aren't noisy when mixing things with a whisk or metal utensil. (I'm weird about certain noises.)

I keep a thirsty towel handy to absorb water that collects on top when they're upside down in the dishwasher.

Do you remember the portable vacuum sealer for Mason jars I mentioned some time ago? That post has become VERY popular.

Here’s a tip: Store the other half of your uneaten avocado in a pint-sized Mason jar. Seal it with a flat canning lid (reusable when not used for heat canning), and it will stay fresh the next day. It may darken slightly on the cut surface (depending on how ripe the avocado is), but it won’t brown nearly as much as when wrapped in cellophane.

DAY ONE

DAY TWO

Of course, results will vary depending on the ripeness of your avocado when you seal it.

Remember, vacuum-sealing is not a substitute for hot water bath or pressure cooker canning. Perishable foods must be stored in the refrigerator.

⭐️ Before You Make Those Thanksgiving Rolls… Read This

Hi Friends, If you’re planning to make rolls this Thanksgiving, especially from an old family recipe, here’s a quick PSA before the flour starts flying. Many of those heirloom recipes are long on love and tradition but short on modern measurements—and definitely not written with bread machines in mind. Don’t let that stop you. Just keep these two things in mind as you adapt them. 1) Watch the flour amount. Most bread machines (except 3-lb machines) can't handle more than 4-4½ cups of flour....

Bread Machine + Hot Oven = Fresh Pita Magic

Have you ever tasted something fresh for the first time and wondered why you spent years settling for the packaged version? That was me the day I walked into a Middle Eastern grocery store and bought a bag of warm pita bread. The package was still steamy, and I suddenly understood what pita was supposed to be. Store-bought pita can’t hold a candle to the homemade kind. My brand-new recipe for Bread Machine Pita Bread (with an optional oatmeal twist!) is finally live. Your bread machine...

Two Things Every Cook or Baker Should Own

Whether you are making a gift list for yourself or someone else, here are two things I think every baker or cook should have and use in their kitchen. DIGITAL SCALE: The fastest way to cook and bake more consistently—especially with flour. Weighing in grams removes guesswork and keeps recipes repeatable. Look for a scale with a tare button, 1-gram (or 0.1-oz) resolution, and an easy-to-read display. Set your mixing bowl on the scale and start dumping--no measuring cups required. I like the...
