Most Popularย Product Shares This Week:
1.ย Large Silicone Dough Matย - I LOVE having a big dedicated silicone mat just for rolling out dough, and the one I have has the measurement markings both along the edges and in circles in the middle, perfect forย pies,ย cut-out sugar cookies,ย pizza dough, and any pastry dough. I can't recommend this enough!ย (Currently over 50% off)
2.ย Shape Shifting Boxย - Dominic got one for Christmas last year, and all three kids constantly want to play with it. I picked up two more for gifts recently!ย (Currently 25% off!)
3. Ancho Chile Powderย - An ingredient that packs tons of flavor into the reader-favoriteย copycat Chipotle chicken recipe.
4.ย Indoor Plug-In Fly Trapย - We started using this last summer; it's AMAZING at catching flies and fruit flies. We keep it plugged in year-round.
5.ย Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauceย (another key ingredient for making theย copycat Chipotle chicken recipe!)
6.ย Three-Piece Kids Plastic Knives โ These were popular this week after I mentioned how they are absolutely perfect at cutting brownies โ super clean cuts, no messy crumbs! My kids each have a set of these for helping in the kitchen, but I grab them anytime I need to cut brownies.

Michelle, What begining ages would The Shape Shifting Box and the kids knives be appropriate to have? Thank you for all of your recommendations.
Billie
Hi Billie, The kids knives, I would say preschool age, probably about 3ish. As for the shape shifting box, any age may enjoy flipping it around, but my 6 year old understands how to turn it to make it match and different shapes. I hope that helps!
The children look adorable in their costumes. I am baking your pecan pie for Thanksgiving.Have a Blessed Thanksgiving.๐๐ป
I wonder why no one ever thought to use parchment paper to bake the cake AND roll it! Thank you! Canโt wait to try this!!!
