- Tovolo Mini Scoop and Spreader -OH, do we LOVE this little rubber spatula and or spreader!? It is exactly what we have needed for years.
- Citrus Reamer – My mom prefers this tool for lemons, limes, and all things citrus that need to be juiced. I prefer the lemon press below!
- Lemon Press – This gets SO much action at my house. The acid from all the lemons and limes I juice has removed the paint from the press!

- Parchment Paper – This may sound dull, but do not underestimate this stuff. It saves you 1000’s of calories as it replaces greasing a pan; it saves you 1000’s of hours in cleanup, and your food still browns. I love it when our kids whip out the parchment paper when they are cooking! A good habit in action.

- Apple Slicer – This moves apples and pears through your home. Place it next to the fruit bowl and watch the games begin.
