REVIEW – Most people I informally surveyed while reviewing the Joy Pebble countertop ice maker prefer nugget/pebble ice to other larger forms of ice.

REVIEW – Summer is officially here in South Texas, and for me and my family, that means BBQ! I am not talking about tossing some hamburgers on the grill or loading up your kettle grill with charcoal and grilling up a steak. I am talking about hours of slow-cooking a big chunk of meat into …
REVIEW – A few years ago, a friend gave me a FoodSaver vacuum sealer she never used. I barely knew what one was, but accepted it anyway because it is a . . . gadget. I am glad I did. If you aren’t familiar with what a sealer can do, it literally sucks the air …

REVIEW – I’ve been looking for a replacement for an ancient Nutribullet blender and a large Ninja blender. When it was offered for review, I was curious if the GANIZA Food Processor could be my new small food processor so I said yes. Let’s check it out. What is it? The GANIZA Food Processor is …
REVIEW – I like smoothies and therefore I have a big, powerful, and noisy blender. It’s not something I can take to work or on vacation very easily though.

REVIEW – My son and co-reviewer, Mason, is on a smoothie kick. I hate to discourage this healthy habit, but our old blender is loud enough to wake the dead (or at least his little brother).

REVIEW – Cooking for two is always a bit of a challenge because most recipes are designed for four or more people, leaving my wife and me with more food than necessary. One way to deal with the extras is to heat up the leftovers in the microwave for the next day or two. Souper …

REVIEW – Do you buy almond, soy, coconut, oat, and other plant-based milk from the grocery store? Ever taken a look a the list of ingredients on the package?

REVIEW – Very recently my partner has shared with me the wonderful world of hiking. I have exactly zero shame in admitting that when choosing trails, he picks the ones that have the most opportunities where we can stop and “take in the scenery” (AKA Cat can remember how to breathe and not expire).
