5 Favorite Kitchen Tools

With Thanksgiving week upon us, there's a lot of cookin' going on in kitchens across America.  Today I'm participating in a blog hop with my friends from The Blended Blog, to share some of our favorite kitchen tools.  If you're stopping by from Katie's blog, welcome!

Let's be honest.  If you know me at all, you are well aware that the kitchen is NOT my natural habitat. I don't enjoy cooking, and it shows in my complete lack of culinary skills.  However, I'm no dummy, so I married a man who loves to cook.  Our friends and family can't wait to come our house for dinner, as long as my hubby is in the kitchen.

Having said that, my number one favorite kitchen "tool" is definitely this guy.

He can open the refrigerator, and within thirty minutes, there's something delicious on the table.  But since I can't share him with you, here are a few other things that make life easier in the kitchen.

- We grill a lot of salmon at our house, and the fish flipper makes turning a long filet much easier.  It's also perfect for pizzas and panini's.

- If you do find me in the kitchen, I'm probably making cookies.  The cookie dough scoop makes a perfect ball of dough every time, and it's also helpful for scooping melon.

- I use the avocado saver several times a week.  It really does work to keep the avocado from becoming brown after cutting.

- My newest kitchen tool is the spiralizer, and there are thousands of recipes using this gadget. Our favorite is to spiralize zucchini and use it in place of pasta.  So yummy!
