Secret Weapons ...(Kitchen)

Every soldier is only as good as their gun. So for this part of our "mission" we need some power behind all this steam! As with any super hero, domestic divas need some secret "Weapons" of their own! This post is specific to kitchen items. To master any dinner party, pot-luck, or just a cranky husband there are two key goals...fast and EASY!

These are items that every too hot to handle woman should own and keep ready to use at any time:

1. George Foreman: it's fast, keeps meat relatively lean, grills, toasts, and you don't have to deal with the food after you have put it on the grill...I use ours for everything from bacon, fajita chicken, to simple grilled cheese. It's fast and it is so simple to just wipe clean! def. a life saver...and leaves the oven open for baking dessert!

2. Ninja Chopper- or really any brand blender/food processor. It allows for you to make items such as guacamole, salsa, shakes, smoothies, chicken salad or chop meat and veggies..and makes it look and TASTE like you a Emerald himself! It's so much easier to clean up and saves some serious time!!

3. Deep Fryer: from freezer to golden in a matter of min. you can whip up fast sides, great appetizers, even desserts, and meat and have everyone thinking you surely ordered out! It's the biggest time saver! We have one you can clean the grease on, it has two baskets to do 2 things at once, and a top cover so it isn't an eye sore! You will be the hottest football party on the block, and the best movie night in town!

4. Kitchen Aide Mixer: This is the mack daddy of all kitchen appliances...pricey yes but well worth every penny...from homemade pasta to hand baked bread you can literally feed the world with this mixer, or just whip up some A-list cupcakes! Not to mention the way it looks sitting on the kitchen counter ;)

5. Non-Stick pans- last but certainly not least good non-stick pans are the key to making cooking look effortless! Everything cooks even, looks great (because half isn't left behind), and they are a breeze to clean up!

Now that you know what you're going to use to knock em' dead!, I'll have to post the HOW part! Stay tuned some fast easy and DELICIOUS diva recipes are next up!
