I Love My Lodge Logic Cast Iron Skillet ~ Buy Yours Now While It’s At a Great Price!

January 11, 2013 By 2 Comments

I just had to blog about this Amazon sale because I love my Lodge Logic Cast Iron Skillet so much that I just bought another one  while it is at such a great price. It comes pre-seasoned so it’s ready to get cookin’ in your kitchen!

The 12 inch size is perfect for cornbread to frying just about anything. I leave my cast iron skillet out on the stove top because I use it so often. It is a really versatile piece and I think everyone should own one. The Lodge Logic Cast Iron Skillet is sturdy and nice. It’s heavy, too. There’s nothing wimpy about this skillet.

If you take care of it properly (cast iron does require special care when you clean it), it will last forever.

Regular Price: $27.50

Current Sale Price: $18.97 and ships free with Amazon Prime!

{Recipe} Freezer Friendly Banana Muffins

May 9, 2012 By 3 Comments

I just love it when I buy too many bananas at the store and they get ripe before we have the chance to eat them.  I really do! It gives me the excuse to bake one of my favorite yummy things to eat…banana bread!  I make this easy recipe into muffins so that I can easily freeze the leftovers and take them out one at a time anytime we need a quick snack or breakfast on the go.

Banana Muffins Recipe

Makes 18 muffins or 1 loaf of banana bread.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 3 Tablespoons milk

Directions:

  1. Mix dry ingredients together.
  2. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients mixture and stir until they are blended together.
  3. Fill lined muffin cups approximately half full to 3/4 full of batter.  (Or if you are baking a loaf, pour batter into a greased loaf pan.)
  4. Bake muffins in 350 degree oven 20-25 minutes or until done.  Muffins will start to brown on top.  (Bake banana bread loaf for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until you stick a toothpick in the center and it comes out clean.)

Allow to cool and enjoy!

Xtrema Ceramic Cookware For Healthy Cooking

July 21, 2011 By 6 Comments

BraiserBaker
“It’s so pretty!” was the first thought that popped into my head as I lifted the shiny black piece of Xtrema cookware out of its shipping box. I was in love already – and I hadn’t even used it yet. This eco-friendly line of healthy cookware is handcrafted from natural materials and has a 100% nontoxic ceramic glaze surface.

I’m convinced that Xtrema cookware is not only beautiful to look at, but that your health can benefit by using it. Did you know that commonly used nonstick metal cookware can leach toxins into your food? Xtrema’s cooking surfaces are not coated with harmful chemicals and their products have proven to be the healthier alternative to traditional cookware.

I have been able to cook, serve, and store our meals in the Xtrema Braiser/Baker with Cover that I received for review (pictured above). The ability to use it in so many ways means less dishes for me to wash, which is another reason I love this cookware so much!

What else makes Xtrema so wonderful? Read on for the Features and Benefits (taken from the manufacturer’s website):

Xtreme High Temperature: Cookware can withstand 2,700 F;  Steel can melt at 2,200 F

Xtremely Easy to Clean: Non-Scratch, Non-Toxic Ceramic Glaze Surface

Xtremely Attractive: High Gloss Black Finish

Xtremely Versatile: Oven, Stovetop, Broiler, Freezer, Barbeque Grill, Microwave Oven, Dishwasher and Dining Room Table

Xtremely Healthy Cooking: No Trace Metals or Chemicals Leaching from the Cooking Surface

Xtremely Practical: Reduces Cooking Time and Uses Less Energy, Foods Stay Hotter Longer

Xtremely Tasty: Ceramic Far Infrared Cooking Enhances the Food Flavor and the Entire Cooking Experience

Xtremely Durable: Cooking Surface cannot be Scratched, even by Metal Utensils and Industrial Steel Wool

Xtremely Green: Handmade using natural gas, clay and water

The Xtrema cooking surface contains no harmful PFOA coating and produces no harmful PFOA gas which can occur with most popular non-stick petroleum based coatings.

Xtrema’s versatility — Stovetop, Oven, Broiler, Microwave Oven, Refrigerator, Freezer, and Table Top usage reduces the need for multiple products which can save energy, time and money.

You can learn more about Xtrema products, which includes Cookware, Bakeware, Teaware, and Flair Nonstick Skillets and purchase Xtrema online at Ceramcor.com.
