Well it’s hard to believe it but it’s the July 4th holiday weekend approaching. Time to hit the store and buy lots of great goodies for a big backyard barbeque - it even looks like the weather will cooperate.

 There’s a lot of fun to explore around town and it’s such a nice time to kick back and spend time with our favorite people.  Hope you and yours have a very Happy and safe 4th of July!

I love these new mixing bowls from Gourmet Standard. While yes, they are useful and I needed a new set of mixing bowls, I really had to have them because of the great colors. The 3 piece set comes with 3 size bowls that nest together - the smallest, 3.5 quarts, is a wonderful warm yellow - the medium bowl, 5.5 quarts, is a bright cherry red - and the large bowl, 7.5 quarts, is a sharp cobalt blue.

What’s even better about these porcelain-enamel coated bowls is that they are made of professional grade stainless steel, so I know they’ll last me for years and years.
