How CSN Got Me Through the Holidays

Tweet

Everyone should know by now that I used to be someone who would never shop online. I didn't see the point. Everything online could just as easily be bought at Walmart and for less than half the price. That was until CSN came along and changed everything. It also got me through the holidays this year.

I am not a baker. Because I hate the clean up.

I just didn't have the strength left to scrub my metal muffin tin anymore.

Enter silicone baking cups.
Cue angels singing.
Serve eggnog cupcakes for Christmas party.
Repeat.

Matt and I aren't big egg eaters. Unless their deviled eggs. In which case I never even get to have any cause they're all gone.

So finding use for this microwave omelet pan was tricky. Until Willow needed to put on some weight. Dog food omelet, coming right up!

Totally easy to clean! Makes omelets in less than 5 minutes!

We go through tupperware constantly. It breaks, gets lost, melts in the dishwasher, you name it. Until we found SuperSeal Food Savers.

These suckers are durable! And they helped prep meals for Thanksgiving and Christmas, not to mention kept the leftovers safe and sound.

My only complaint is that they aren't stackable. But we also still have all 48 pieces. So I can't complain too much.

 You've seen this before. Cook bacon without the fat!

It does what it says it does. It cooks the bacon, removes the fat, and is even super easy to clean.

Here's my problem. Bacon tastes better with fat. You might as well be eating turkey bacon. And I hate turkey bacon.

I honestly cooked the bacon on this thing for about half the time, let all the grease drain into the bottom, then I added the bacon to the grease and finished cooking it that way! Made great tasting bacon. Not quite fat free. But I also didn't get a grease burn while cooking it on the stove. It's a win-win.

One of my favourite things ever is my rice cooker. It's supposed to be a rice and pasta cooker, but I only use it for rice.

Because the rice it makes is so divine that cooking pasta in it would just defile it's intended purpose in my eyes.

I should mention that I can cook great pasta on the stove. But my rice always burns. Or comes out too sticky. Or crunchy. Or pink. Don't ask.

This however is just awesome. Plus, it came with a strainer, rice spatula, measuring spoons and measuring cups. Sooo worth it!

This was one of Matt's Christmas gifts.

It's a Swiss Army pairing knife. Are you kidding? Nope, no I'm not. A Swiss. Army. Pairing. Knife.

It's heaven. It cuts through onions and tomatoes like a dream.

I imagine it's also a very good weapon. But you'd have to ask the Swiss Army about that.

About a month before Christmas, Matt was all, "We should get a juicer."  

But I totally didn't want to go there. Because I've owned a juicer before, and those things suck at cleaning.

So for Christmas I got him a bad ass blender.

12 speed. The 12th button creates hurricanes. And strawberry banana smoothies. And it can stand the heat too, so I use it to make creamed soups.
