Not your Granny's baggies
Baggies are just so darn versatile. Now, I'm mostly using them for portion control - I separate cookies, crackers, snacks into one-serving-size baggies. Then, when I'm putting my lunch together, or need a snack on a go, I just grab a baggie and I'm on my way. I also use them for packing and storage, too. The possibilities are endless.
Given my love for baggies, you can imagine my joy in discovering these adorably-designed baggies at Spoon Sisters. I just can't wait to get my snacks in them so I can show them off!

Cook Up Some Fun with Polka Dot Frying Pans
Making dinner after a long day at work can be a drag, especially when you're using boring, beat-up cookware you inherited from Mom. But nothing says cooking with gas better than these colorful frying pans by Bialetti. Express your culinary creativity and liven up nightly meals with these heavy gauge, 11" non-stick pieces, featuring a porcelain finish with a choice of blue, yellow, or pink. I'm dying to buy one. Maybe then, even clean-up won't seem so bad!

Even Girls Who Shop Sometimes Cook!
Even though I love to shop, I do sometimes find the time to cook. No, I am definitely not a chef but I still like pretty dishes/cookware! I used to think shopping for cookware was boring until I came across these funky, exciting utensils at Plum Party. This is definitely the place to find "fashionable" kitchen accessories.Even their plates are cute. Can plates be considered cute? I think SO!

Easy does it with Salad Shaker & more!
When I saw this Salad Shaker by Fit & Fresh I knew my mornings just got easier! Let me explain...
Trying to eat healthier (keyword-trying), I have been preparing salads to take with me to work. Here lies the problem->I can't fit the salad, the bottle of dressing and silverware into my lunch bag. I end up putting it all in a plastic shopping bag and by the time I get to work my silverware is poking through, my salad is a jumbled mess and my bottle of dressing gets left at work! Not to mention that I use a lot of dressing (not quite the recommended 2 tbsp).
The Fit & Fresh Salad Shaker has a place for silverware, one serving of dressing, and an ice pack that keeps your salad cool for up to 6 hours! It's an all-in-one, not bad! Can't figure out how one container can do all that? Check out this diagram that details all that the Fit & Fresh Salad Shaker can do! Available for purchase at Linens 'n Things.

Think spring with daisies from Williams-Sonoma
While browsing the Williams-Sonoma sale section recently, I discovered this Daisy Maryanne Pan. First introduced in the US in 1921, it was designed to bake light cake shells for everything from fresh berries to creamy custards to delicious puddings!
With all the snow we're been getting lately here in the Northeast, I saw this and had visions of Spring cakes :-)
It's on sale for $19.99...makes a perfect gift for daisy lovers!
