Best Kitchen Appliances

By Guy J Morris So many homeowners want to change the look of their kitchen without spending a lot of money. If you want to change the way your kitchen looks, you may look at the big picture, such as changing the cabinets, getting new appliances and getting new flooring. These are all ways that you can make your kitchen look more beautiful. However, there are other ways that you can create a comely kitchen that will welcome and invite your guests and your family members. Decorating your kitchen is much easier and easier on your wallet as well over extensive renovations. Here are some great ideas for decorating your kitchen to find an inexpensive way. Using What you Have and Love: Many professional decorators will tell you that in order to get a great kitchen, you should use things that you already own and the things that you love. If you take a quick look around your home, what do you surround yourself with? Do you love antiques and do you collect old china? Or perhaps ...

By Hans Dekker When it comes to prime rib and there are two basic camps. One side says you must cook it with the bones attached. The idea is that the bones give more flavor to the meat. The other side says that the meat can be just as flavorful without the bones, and easier to carve. If you want to give it a try, here is a boneless prime roast recipe. There's plenty of variations on the basic boneless prime roast recipe so feel free to improvise. Boneless roasts are sometimes called ribeye roasts or "eye of the rib". A boneless roast serves more people per pound -- you can count on getting two servings per pound rather than about 1 1/2 servings per pound for a standing rib roast. An eight or ten pound roast is perfect for this boneless prime roast recipe. You can marinate the roast before you cook it for extra flavor, although many think that the beef is tasty enough as is. Marinating can also make the meat more tender. If you decide to marinate the meat, ...

By Jadmaria Rosario Ingredients for Recipe 24 to 48 medium size chicken wings ½ jar of Sambal Olek with Garlic 2 bottles of Bullseye Mesquite BBQ Sauce 2 tablespoons of Tabasco Sauce 4 Jalapeno Peppers, chopped 2 Habanero Chili peppers, chopped Oil for Deep Frying Notes for Recipe Warning this recipe is extremely hot and spicy! Despite the fact that most "hot and spicy" chicken wings that I have tried usually fail to live up to my expectations, these have to be the hottest one's I have come up with. They are not just super hot, they also have a lot of flavour, which is something I think a lot of people do not take into consideration when making their own. Due to the peppers that you will be using for this recipe, I highly recommend that you wear disposable gloves when handling the chili's, there's nothing quite like the pain of getting chili's in your eye! This recipe must be done a day ahead for proper marinating. Instructions for Recipe Begi...

In 2002, when housing prices were starting to rise, I proposed to my husband that, with our forth kid on the way, that we look for a bigger house. He agreed to LOOK. We looked at several areas but wanted to move to a part of town that was closer to the freeways and shopping. When we walked into this house, you would have said, like we said, how odd. It was a 5 bedroom, 4 bath house with over 3,300 square feet of living space. The master was downstairs with four rooms and a HUGE loft upstairs. The kitchen was average with little room for a kitchen table. The reason the house was odd was that the entire downstairs had a 12 by 12 tile floor which had not been completed. The laundry room tile butted against the hall tile but did not match. The worst part was that they attempted to make it match so it just looked off. The master had a wood floor which was elevated, probably over the tile underneath. The walls were painted with watered down primer and they painted around the pic...

Have you been searching for the perfect Chili Recipe for your family? Don't have the ability to watch over it as it cooks? Use your crockpot for this scrumptious recipe.

You can also substitute the mild salsa for medium or hot as well. This recipe is great all year round but especially on a chilly winter day. Ingredients: 1-1.5 lbs of 90% Lean ground beef 15 oz. can diced tomatoes ½ cup-3/4 cup Pace Mild Salsa or your own brand 15 oz. can kidney beans rinsed and drained 1 onion diced 1 green pepper diced 1 celery stalk diced 1 tbsp chili powder 1 tsp cinnamon 2 cups of water ¼ tsp of salt (if other spices have it, don't use it) 1 tsp of garlic powder 1 tsp black pepper 1 tbsp of minced garlic from jar or one clove minced ¼ tsp oregano ¼ tsp thyme ¼ tsp basil 2 tbsp of fresh minced parsley/cilantro (put in 30 mi...

By Natalie Schloesser I see myself as a fairly good cook. I can make something without a recipe, create my own recipes, and alter any recipes I have to fit my family's tastes. However, for some reason I never ventured to create a "clam chowder" type recipe. This is truly strange considering every time I go to a restaurant and they offer clam chowder, I order it. I love clam or creamy seafood chowder, and often when I love a recipe I am anxious to try it. But again, for some reason I would shy away from trying this. Perhaps part of the fear came from creating the cream base or cooking with clams. I'm not really sure, but I finally overcame the fear by cheating. I know that we always teach our children not to cheat, but I have to admit that cheating in cooking is sometimes a wonderful thing. By cheating with this recipe, I've created the seafood chowder I love without a lot of preparation and hassle (and added a few extra twists). Enjoy! 2 cans cream o...

by Jeff Stevens Kitchens are not just for eating meals. For many people it is the heart of the house. A gathering spot to talk, work, and sometimes entertain guests. It is no wonder that it is the most expensive room in majority of homes. When you make the decision to change your cabinets you will need to have basic knowledge to be sure the process will go smoothly. Kitchens should have at least 50 square feet of storage in wall and base cabinets. 11 square feet, or four drawers are often required. At least one of the cabinets should have a shallow drawer.

by south-beach-diet.org The South Beach Diet is the new black in the world of dieting. The South Beach Diet was originally created by Dr.Arthur Agatston, a leading cardiac physician. The diet was initially created to improve the heart-health of his patients. it was later discovered that, as a pleasant side effect, the patients on this diet were also losing a lot of weight. Dr.Agatston claims that The South Beach Diet is not a low-fat or low-carb diet, but instead it is a diet that focuses on acquiring the correct fats and carbs. The South Beach Diet is formed around the glycemic index in which carbs are restricted in the first two weeks of beginning the diet and gradually replaced with carbs that contain a low glycemic index. Saturated fats are also replaced with unsaturated fats. A rapid increase in blood sugar occurs when foods that r rich in carbs is consumed.

The trick to using kitchen light fixtures these days is to have different lights to do different jobs. The days when one ceiling fixture at the center of the room would suffice are quickly ending. Now people want a variety of lights to brighten up one of the most important rooms in their house. Ambient Light For the Entire Kitchen Area The three basic types of kitchen light fixtures are those that provide ambient, task and mood or accent lighting. The ambient fixtures simply give a widespread light for the entire kitchen area. The task lights focus on each task station. Mood or accent lights add a note of interest, and may illuminate a particular object. The common ceiling fixture is a lighting choice that offers ambient illumination. There are ceiling fixtures of different shapes, sizes, and styles. Different materials are used, although glass is the most popular. In fact glass is the best, because it gives of plenty of light and is easily washable. Plastic yellows qui...

by Ernest Jarquio Kitchen counter stools used to come in one standard height. Now, kitchen counters come in different heights. Counter and bar stool companies are trying to accommodate counter heights other than those that are standard. Your job is to decide how tall your kitchen counter stools need to be. The standard height that all bar stools used to be was 30 inches tall. In the past, this was a good height for most kitchens and for most people. With the seat 30 inches off the floor most people were comfortable. The Foot Rail Location Must Be Comfortable One aspect of the comfort of the counter stool is where the foot rail is located. On most stools it is about halfway from the floor to the seat. When the person falls within the average range of heights and the kitchen counter is at a height of about 40 inches to 44 inches, the halfway rail is pretty comfortable. It prevents the person from having to try to reach the floor with their feet, or from being cramped tryi...

by Ernest Jarquio Buying kitchen cabinet pulls seems like an easy task. You just go to the store or spend some time at your computer, and voila, you have some hardware. However, there are a few mistakes people make when selecting and purchasing these items. One mistake is in thinking that adding new handles will change the whole look of your cooking area. That may be unrealistic. While hardware can add a lot of dazzle, it does not make up for a shabby-looking kitchen. If your cabinets have dingy or flaking paint, you need to refinish them along with putting on new knobs. That way, you provide a fresh clean finish for your drawer handles to go onto. Consider Overall Style of the Kitchen Another mistake is trying to go with a different style by changing this one item alone. If you have a country kitchen, it will remain an open casual room. Even if you put modern style knobs on the cabinets, you will not succeed in turning it into a contemporary style kitchen. To accomplis...
