Last week I told you about my brand new shiny KitchenAid mixer. I am so excited that I've already started greasing my baking sheets and pie pans, but the only problem is my pot holders! Right now they are old, dirty, and just plain gross, so I sent you off to market in search of fresh pot holders. You bookmarked a whole bunch of incredibly cute pot holders with the keyword tag Pot Holders. You can take a ...
off to market recap
All across America, home cooks are taking to the outdoors and making their meals on the grill. I have yet to master the art of grilling steaks, vegetables, fish, and more, and usually leave that up to my dad: the grill master. However, the last time I used his grill, I noticed that he'd let things get a little messy and some of his tools were even rusty! That's why I want to surprise him with a new set of ...
The weather has recently warmed up and I've moved all of my casual dining outside. When eating outdoors on an everyday basis, an easy-to-clean outdoor tablecloth is a must and so are fun, plastic plates. Last week I asked you to help me find some new dishwasher friendly outdoor plates with summery and bright colors. You saved the plates in the Yum Market with the keyword tag Outdoor Plates. Some of you (thanks mellie_608 and ...
I totally believe in rewarding oneself and that's why I am treating myself (for all of my hard work here at YumSugar) to a new blender. During summer I'm all about blitzing up fresh and exotic cocktails, with new and interesting ingredients. A new blender that can expertly and efficiently crush ice and smoothly mix a piña colada is very important to me. My blender is several years old and after reading an article about certain blenders with ...
The outdoor eating season is finally upon us! I love summer, the hot weather, and eating outdoors. When the weather is gorgeous, I can't sit inside at the table, so I move everything outside for my favorite time of the day: dusk. Part of prepping for my summer routine is getting the patio dining table 100% ready for entertaining. I want to get a new tablecloth and I asked you to help me find one last week. The tablecloth ...
As you all know I am planning a super special breakfast for my oh-so-fabulous mother to celebrate el dia de la madre (translation: Mother's Day). Unfortunately I've turned the only breakfast tray we own into a crafting station for my invitation making hobby. The face of the tray is covered in glitter, glue, and paint - that's why last week I asked you to help me out and find my mom a beautiful breakfast tray. It should ...
Last week I asked you to help me help Julie come up with a wonderful wedding favor for her impending nuptials. I'm providing her with plenty of inspirational ideas to ensure she has months of stress-free planning ahead of her. I asked you to search the web for the most creative, memorable wedding favors for Julie. You saved your favors in the Yum Market on TeamSugar and labeled them with the keyword Wedding Favors.
I ...
A champagne toast is often one of the most memorable parts of a wedding. I most certainly remember when my brother gave his bestman champagne toast at his best friend Ryan's wedding last September. I like the idea of everyone getting a glass of champagne - even the people who don't drink or don't like alchol - to take part in the toast. Julie and Scott's wedding will kick off with a special toast in which guests ...
Last week I planned Julie's wedding. I asked you to help me with her look and search the web for a beautiful table setting. You saved anything along these lines: tablecloths, silverware, plates, vases, flowers, candles, and cool centerpieces in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Wedding Table. You certainly did not let Julie or I down and suggested awesome ideas and fabulous finds. The picture at right is the actual room where the ...
Last week I told you about my white wine glass dilemma. The white wine glasses I have all come from the remnants of wine glass sets given to my parents many many years ago. Meaning I have plenty of white wine glasses but none of them go together! This has been slowly driving me crazy especially after I went out and bought a few boxed sets of new red wine glasses. That's why I asked you to help me find ...
My girlfriend Kristen recently asked me if I could help her find a cool flask for her longtime boyfriend Chris. She has been going through some stressful times and he has been so supportive that she wants to surprise him with a small special gift. I asked you to head off to market in search of the coolest flasks around for Chris. The flask had to be functional and sleek, durable and modern to fit Chris' intelligent, super social great ...
At the end of April, I will be attending a picnic down in Bakersfield on a friend's family ranch. Every April Laura and her family invite all of their friends out to their ranch for some frolicking in the sun, and every August they invite the same people to a reggae party at their beach house on the strip in Hermosa. Last August I spent the weekend at their house and had the most amazing time. So much so that ...
A little while back I dramatically declared that YumSugar was desperately in need of our help. Ok that may be a little exaggeration but she recently spent a good amount of money on a special, creamy goat butter (which she expertly turned into delicious goatbread cookies). Before the butter goes bad she wanted to find a butter bell. A butter bell is a butter container that maintains the perfect temperature of the butter while protecting it from outside ...
My mom is hosting a dinner party and since she does not cook I promised her I would cater the event. To keep things simple she requested a meal that consists of chicken and pasta. Chicken and pasta are two dishes that really take on the flavorings of the food they are cooked and the possibilities are endless: Simple?! Make that stressful. Luckily I have you readers and you saved your best chicken and pasta recipes in the database ...
