You didn’t think all you could do on your Nintendo DS Lite
was to play Yoshi’s Island
and Mario Kart
all day long, did you? Or are you more of a Dr. Kawashima
kind of DS game player? Whatever the case, get with the program; you can cook up a storm with Personal Trainer: Cooking on your trusty DS. It’s so wonderful because the DS is small and will fit on your counter while you cook and remind you about what you need to do to prepare some of the most tastiest dishes on earth. Check it out.
First things first: select a recipe. With 245+ to choose from, Personal Trainer: Cooking makes it easy to find what you’re looking for by helping you browse by country, ingredients, difficulty, cooking time, cooking technique or even calorie count.
Once you’ve found something that looks yummy, take a look at the ingredients. Out of butter or need to buy some cumin? Just tap them with the stylus to automatically add the ingredients to your Shopping List. Making several dishes tonight? Just keep tapping ingredients - your Shopping List keeps it all in one place for you. Now that you’ve got your ingredients, it’s time to start cooking. The DS Chef is there with you, talking you through every step along the way. Don’t know how to fillet a trout? Watch the demonstration video when you get to that step. Didn’t quite catch the last step? Just say “Repeat,” and the Chef will explain it again. You can pause the recipe at any time to consult the Cooking A-Z guide, and prompts will appear within recipes for specific terms you might need more information about.

Shop early for gifts! Yes, right now. You’ll thank me later.
“This slicer is an inexpensive alternative to a professional stainless-steel mandoline, this device makes it possible to quickly, uniformly, and safely slice and julienne vegetables and fruits. It also shreds cabbage and neatly dices potatoes, tomatoes, and onions. For safety, a holder firmly grips food with stainless-steel prongs so fingers are protected from the German surgical-steel blades, and the three inserts accompanying the device lock in position. The inserts act as a guide for slicing against the V-frame’s knife that reverses to create slices either 1/4-inch or 1/16-inch thick and two julienne inserts for creating 1/8-inch or 3/8-inch strips. For storage, the V-frame, all three inserts, and the safety holder fit into a caddy that can stand upright on the counter, lie flat in a drawer, or hang on the wall. Made of rugged plastic, the device measures 15 inches long and 6 inches wide when assembled for storage.” –Fred Brack

Since getting the Roomba, our house is so much cleaner! We both work and the cleaning is farther down the priority list but it’s a great help to have this awesome vacuum cleaner. It’s one of the best ways to maintain cleaner floors every day. Excellent navigation, cleaning coverage, vacuum pickup, particle filtration, and scheduling capabilities, the Roomba 560 picks up amazing amounts of dirt and debris from your floors with the touch of a button–so you don’t have to. That’s how we like it.
The Roomba 560 even cleans on schedule when it’s most convenient for you. Use the on-board scheduling system to easily program up to seven days and times per week for Roomba to vacuum–whether you’re at home or on the go. The Roomba 560 also offers the most efficient room-to-room cleaning available using two innovative, new Virtual Wall Lighthouses.
The Roomba 560 picks up amazing amounts of dirt and debris with the simple touch of a button. There are spinning side brushes that grab dirt and dust from corners and along wall edges, as well as two high-speed, counter-rotating brushes that pick up pet hair, cat litter, food crumbs, and other dirt from floors. The vacuum sucks up the debris and deposits it into a large, easy to empty bag-less dustbin, and its fine-filtration system traps dust, pollen, and other allergens inside the unit, reducing infiltration into the living environment.
You will NOT regret this purchase.

The Professional 600 Series is KitchenAid’s most powerful Stand Mixer. I have one and absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Everything will last a long, long time and there are no plastic attachments. All attachments are metal. I hate plastic!
This excellent mixer is for the serious home baker and features a 575-watt motor with heavy-duty transmission and a 6 quart bowl combined to give you the power and capacity to mix 13 dozen cookies, 8 pounds of mashed potatoes, or over 8 loaves of bread.
I didn’t make my own bread before but now I only make it at home with the Kitchen Aid and it is so incredibly easy. Much better tastewise and healthwise for you too, instead of buying premade, packaged icky bread in the market.
KitchenAid’s unique planetary mixing action provides faster, more thorough blending of ingredients all the way to the edge of the bowl, without ever rotating it. The rugged, all-metal quality construction and Commercial-style motor protection assure a long life of trouble-free, dependable and quiet operation.
Other features include a professional style bowl-lift that makes it easy to lift the bowl into the mixing position, 10-speed slide control ranges from a very fast whip to a very slow stir and a power hub for optional attachments. Included with the Stand Mixer, a burnished aluminum flat beater, PowerKnead spiral dough hook (designed to replicate hand-kneading to handle 20% more dough than previous models), a professional wire whip and pouring shield.

It’s summer, which means only one thing for many of you: ICE CREAM. The sad thing is, most commercial brands include unsavory ingredients like corn syrup (yes, corn syrup is BAD for you and will make you fat very quickly.), preservatives and other chemicals I can’t even pronounce. And you know what people say now, “NEVER eat anything you can’t pronounce.” Avoid all the unhealthful choices at the market and opt to make your own. That way, you know exactly what is in your ice cream and you can rest assured that the ingredients are only quality, exactly what you and your family deserve. What kind of parent would you be if you let your kid eat any ole nasty chemical laden ice cream? A crappy parent, that’s what.
Don’t worry about making your own. It’s not like you have to get out and churn some cream eight million times or something that you just don’t have time for or don’t have the energy to do. With the Cuisinart Supreme Commercial Quality Ice Cream Maker, it’s faster and easier than ever to treat friends and family to rich and creamy gourmet ice cream. The Cuisinart Supreme Commercial Quality Ice Cream Maker has a built-in compressor-freezer, so there’s no bowl to pre-freeze. That means frozen desserts are ready to enjoy sooner. Processes batch after batch of scrumptious ice cream, fruity sorbet, silky smooth frozen yogurt, and even your favorite ice summer drinks. Just add the ingredients and turn it on. No pre-chill or freezing bowls required. Fully automatic 60-minute timer. 1 1/2 quart capacity. Click here for details
