E-Z Grip BBQ and Grill Accessory Kit Review

With Christmas coming up I'm getting presents left and right. I'm almost done! I'm just waiting on my parents to tell me what they want.

One of my favorite presents is for my husband: E-Z Grip BBQ and Grill Accessory Kit.  It's not gigantic, but something I know he'll use. I always struggle with what to get the adult males in my life.
My Dad isn't into sports, hunting, or fishing. He's more of a gardener, artistic type.

Travis has lots of hobbys and loves art, but I never know what he has. He is like my Dad, and gets into gardening. He's different than him when it comes to cooking and grilling. He loves to make meals!

The E-Z Grip BBQ and Grill Accessory Kit Comes With 5 Pieces:

  1. 2 BPA Free Bottle Dispensers
  2. 1 Scrapper/Chopper
  3. 2 Spatulas 
I could see us using the bottles for homemade sauces and possibly dressings. Most of our grilled meat we marinate. I love that the containers are BPA free. I do always wonder about the checmicals that are used in plastics when they are BPA free. 

I did have a little problem: One of my bottles came without a lid.

The chopper is great for cutting things in 1/2 like burgers and corn on the cob. I know I'll also use it for scraping flour off the counter when I make roll out cookies. 

I like the spatula with the holes for burgers and sausages. The grease can drip off. Both spatulas will come in handy. They have great grip handles, which is important around a hot grill.


Everything Came in a Medium Sized Box: 


The box is perfect for being wrapped.

Cost of the Set:

$39.99 on sale for $22.49

Everything is dishwasher safe. Super easy to clean!


We like to grill burgers the most. What do you like to throw on the grill?

Essential Oil Diffuser Review

I really like having a humidifier. To be honest they are a bit big, and a pain to clean out. You have to keep them cleaned out, or mold starts to grow in them. 

I love my new Essential Oil Diffuser, 250ml Ultrasonic.


It came packaged really well. It had foam over the whole top, that was taken off for the photo.


It comes with a cord, a cup to fill the diffuser, and the diffuser its self, which comes apart to fill up.


Aromatherapy mist brings calm and relaxation and the large tank in 250mL unit promises a long cycle. I didn't feel like it lasted as long as another one I have. The opening is pretty small. The top dome comes off to fill up with water. I put in peppermint oil in ours. You may also use it without essential oil to humidify the local air, where it may improve breathing and reduce nasal congestion.


The advanced mechanism in 's 250mL Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser creates swirls of endless scented humidifying mist.


About the size of a salad bowl, the small unit may be placed nearly everywhere in home and office. I move ours around because the placement depends on who's having trouble breathing.

The unit operates with a small switching power adapter that plugs into a nearby receptacle (6-foot cord).

Neither heat nor noise is produced. Only a gentle hum may be heard, indiscernible in most ambient locations. It does have a beep when it's done.

There is a low setting and a high setting. On low setting I could not see the steam come out until I saw the photos.

Cost:

$89.90, but on sale for $29.99.

Upper Respiratory: 

I think diffusers are great for anyone with allergies, asthma, or any type of cold/sickness. It helps break up a cough.

Disclaimer: I received this diffuser at a discount for the purpose of this review. The opinions are 100% mine.

Prime Kitchen Review

I love the idea of not ever having to buy paper liners for cupcakes or muffins again. Prime Kitchen sent me special silicone baking cups to review. 



At my work we make treats for our birthday, so I decided to make Raspberry Pink Lemonade Cupcakes. 


Just a warning: They are not healthy. I didn't really make them for me. I made them for my work. I did sneak to have one, and yes they are tasty! 
Cupcakes:
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/8 cup corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup sugar (I used coconut sugar)
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup + 3 Tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons lemon juice
Syrup:
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar 
Frosting:
  • 1 heaping cup fresh raspberries
  • 3/4 cup butter (room temperature)
  • 2 3/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • raspberries for toppings
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
  • Add to a mixing bowl all the dried ingredients to the cupcake recipe. Stir, and set aside. 
  • Add to a mixing bowl all the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and mix.
  • Divide batter among 12 muffin cups. What's nice about Prime Kitchen liners is that you don't need to spray them with cooking spray. Bake in preheated oven until toothpick inserted into center of cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. 
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool.
  • Prepare syrup: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and sugar until sugar has dissolved. Brush mixture over warm cupcakes in 2 coats.
  • For the frosting: Heat mixture in a saucepan set over medium-low heat until reduced by half (to 3 - 3 1/2 Tbsp). Mash the berries. Cool completely (speed chill in freezer).
  • In the bowl use hand held mixer to whip butter until very pale and fluffy. Mix in 1 cup powdered sugar then mix in reduced raspberry puree and vanilla. Add remaining powdered sugar and mix until light and fluffy (if an even stronger raspberry flavor is desired you can add in 1/4 tsp raspberry extract, or to taste).
  • Add one raspberry to top of each cupcake then pipe frosting over raspberry and top with another raspberry.
  • Store in an airtight container.
Lemony Goodness!

With our Prime Kitchen Baking Cups you don't ever have to buy paper cups again. Paper cups just get thrown out, which is bad on the environment, and bad on the pocket book. I'm not saying silicone cups are perfect on the environment. It takes a process to make those. They can be used and used some more for years!

They are also easier to clean than metal cupcake pans. Cupcakes and muffins pop right out of them without using any sprays.

In addition, our Premium Luxury Designed Box can be used as a Dessert Container for taking it with you at School, Work or be used as a Gift!





Why not be creative? These cups can be used for more than baking...

Price:

I did feel like they were on the expensive side. They are $49.99. I do understand that they are reusable. It's just that I've seen similar reusable cups for much cheaper. The box is cute that they came in, they seemed sturdy, and come in fun colors for boys and girls.
