"LOVE IT" PAGE


I was thinking of some the products I absolutely love and use in my cooking and wanted to have a way to recommend them so I created this "Love It Page".  I'm not paid to recommend these products, rather, I recommend them based on my experience with them. :)

 TRADER JOE'S  Oh how I love thee. Let me count the ways... 

Trader Joe's® is first because, let's be serious, you can always find something great at Trader Joe's®. Here are a few of my favorites.

ALL THINGS GREAT...SPICES AND STAPLE INGREDIENTS

I love McCormick Grill Mates® Marinades. They're great for quick marinades for your weeknight meals, ready to go in 30 minutes. I like to freeze chicken in these marinades so when thawed they are already marinaded.
McCormick Grill Mates®- Baja Citrus Marinade

Best Foods® Mayonnaise
The only mayonnaise I use. Ever.

Dorot® Garlic and Basil Cubes
I use these in everything. The garlic cubes are great for a quick salad dressing. No mincing required, just thaw in a little olive oil and balsamic...done!

Chris and Pitt's® Hickory BBQ sauce
The staple barbeque sauce for my Mom's meatloaf recipe.

Spice Hunter® East Indian Hot Curry
I'm pretty sure Spice Hunter discontinued this particular East Indian Hot Curry, but this spice made the best Tandoori Chicken marinade. I have yet to find another one as good. Please Spice Hunter...bring it back! Please.

PENZEY'S SPICES 
Penzey's Spices is just a dream store for a cook. There are too many amazing products to mention but their Dressing Bases are... To. Die. For.

Gourmet Garden- Lightly Dried Parsley
Thanks to my mom, she introduced me to these awesome lightly dried herbs. I love the convenience of having them on hand! 



MORE LOVE...

99CentsOnlyStore: The GREATEST store on the planet if you ask me! Even though I can't get a dozen medium eggs for a dollar anymore, I still love you. Don't raise your prices too much more!
                                                                            
Cuisine at Home Magazine                                           
The best cooking magazine around. I love getting them in the mail and love the Reader tips and tricks. Pure genius. I have blogged many recipes from this magazine, one of them being Rice Veracruz.   
                

Martha Stewart Living
Simply the best magazine with tons of inspiration! I love Martha!

Calico Cake Shop in Buena Park, CA

The best place for baking supplies. They've got everything including these adorable Mini Gingerbread Man Sprinkles.

Pampered Chef Products
My favorite items:  ice cream scoop, cookie scoops in three sizes (These are invaluable!), corn kernel cutter, apple slicer, pizza stone and my breading trays. I love the breading trays!

Gain Dishwashing Liquid- Apple Berry Twist scent...this just made my whole kitchen smell like Bath and Body Works. :)

Belly BombZ Food Truck in the Los Angeles area. They have the most amazing Chicken Sliders. I loved it so much I decided to try to copy their recipe with my Sliders with Pickled Onions and Spicy Mayo.

Chef Tech Cooking School, Long Beach, CA: I'm taking a class this month...Yay!

Tuesday Morning
This store should be called...Treasure Hunt! I love finding fun treasures there. Plus they have some great Scrapbook supplies at clearance prices.  I got most of my ceramic pumpkins at Tuesday Morning over the years as well.
