Hamilton Beach Temperature Control Glass Electric Hot Water Kettle

 

This is the best tea kettle I’ve ever had.  We are trying to get away from buying beverages in plastic bottles and decided we should just make our iced tea at home.  Boiling water in a pot takes a long time and you have to stay and watch it and then turn it off once the water boils.  If you forget about it, you could have a dangerous situation.  With this electric kettle, I can just add the water and tea bags, set it and walk away.  It automatically turns itself off once it has boiled the tea.  I let it cool down in the kettle and then add my sweetener and pour it into a pitcher.  This makes homemade iced tea a breeze.

Bluevua RO100ROPOT Reverse Osmosis System Countertop Water Filter

  I bought this machine to purify my own drinking water at home and get away from all of the plastic bottles we have. It is super-easy to use and the water is crisp and clean tasting. You just fill the tank, set the amount of water you want and hit the start button. It is very important to remember that you have to dump out the water from the tank after each use.   It is a little lopsided due to the filter cartridges being on one side, but it’s easy enough to move around. I love that we are helping the planet. It will pay for itself in no time.

EASY OVEN-ROASTED POTATO CRISPS

Image
  Ingredients: 5 medium red potatoes 1 tablespoon Olive oil 1 tablespoon Italian bread-dipping herbs 1 teaspoon chives for garnish   Instructions: Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Thinly slice potatoes by hand or with the help of a mandolin Place in large bowl and add olive oil and the bread dipping herbs. Place in a single layer on baking sheet and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, until crispy. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.   Notes: You can use any potatoes you have handy.   I like red potatoes for their slightly sweet flavor. If you don’t have bread-dipping herbs, you can use a combination of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, dried oregano and dried basil.
