Ozeri INSTAVAC Nesting Food Storage Container Set

I LOVE food storage containers that come in sets; better yet, I love storage containers that are nestled inside each other, has a vacuum seal and are not half way small, where you can't hold very much food.

That is why the Ozeri INSTAVAC Nesting Food Storage Container Set has me hooked!  I love how easy these snap lids open and I don't have to struggle with them. Not only that, but these gems comes with a Date Dial! WHAT???  Yes...a Date Dial!  On the top of the lid, there is not only a vacuum seal valve, but a little dial that you can turn, to the date you put the product inside.  When you go back to your fridge a couple days later and notice some strawberries in this set, but really can't remember WHEN or HOW OLD they are, this dial will let you know the date this was stored.  SO COOL!

Here's a little more info on the Ozeri INSTAVAC Nesting Food Storage Set:

     *Patented Valve:  reduces air volume so naturally occuring bacteria is less 
                                able to grow, and food stays fresh longer.

     *Date Dial:          to track the number of food storage days.

     *Release Valve:    prevents spills and splatters in microwave.

     *Wave Pattern:     on bottom keeps cut fruit and veggies elevated from
                                 water and juices.

     *Stain Resistant, Shatter Proof and transparent as glass.

     *Freezer, Microwave and Dishwasher Safe.


The Ozeri INSTAVAC Nesting Food Storage Container Set contains instant vacuum freshness without pumps, motors or confusing parts; Simply press down on the lid and air is forced out via the one-way valve.  

This set is an 8 piece set, with lids that contain:

*21 Cup (5.0 Liters)
*12.7 Cups (3.0 Liters)
*  6.3 Cups (1.5 Liters)
*  3.0 Cups (0.7 Liters)

I love that I can save space and money with these containers.  Being that these nests inside one another, I won't have to worry about having four separate bowls, taking up all my cabinet space and I can keep them all in one place.

Westmoreland English Hobnail Glass Luncheon Set- Great For Parties

Past few weeks, I've been planning for not one, but two, baby showers.  Baby showers can sometimes be as almost stressful as wedding showers, with all the planning, making sure you have all the necessities, with hopes that you have everything you need for the party.

From thinking about everything I need for the 'theme' of the party to whether I've covered all basics, I tend to find myself trying to make everything perfect...or as near perfect as I can.

One of the things I find as a must have, is glassware.  Any type of glass dishes, bowls or candy cups that will add elegance to a party.  The glass set shown here, is the Westmoreland English Hobnail Glass Luncheon Set, sold by Invitingly Vintage, on Etsy.

If you are looking for unique pieces, Etsy is the place to go.  It's one of the first places I look, for that one of a kind item. This Westmoreland English Hobnail Glass Luncheon Set comes with 6 pieces.  It consists of 2 luncheon plates, 2 grapefruit bowls and 2 condiment cups.  This luncheon set is absolutely gorgeous!  The way the glassware shines underneath the lights, it's so beautifully made!

The set was made in Westmoreland between 1920-1940's.  The plates have an overall pattern of English Hobnail, along the edge of the plates, with a sawtooth rim.  The bottom of the plates have a pressed glass geometric pattern, very unique and elegant. The condiment or dip cups are small, dainty and have an English Hobnail pattern, as well as a pedestal base and a sawtooth rim.

The dimensions of the set are:

• Grapefruit Bowls - 1 3/8 inches tall & 6 3/4" wide
• Luncheon Plates-   8 1/4 inches tall 
• Nut/candy/condiment cups - 3 inches long, 2 inches tall & 1 3/4 inches wide

This Westmoreland English Hobnail Glass Luncheon Set is ideal and perfect for weddings, baby showers, parties, special occasions and holidays.  I wish you could see these dishes in person.  I can't explain just how beautiful this set is...the photos don't do them justice.

If you are into vintage pieces and looking for elegant and classy glass dish sets for your party, head on over to Invitingly Vintage, on Etsy, and check out all the things Mel has to offer!  They also have a beautiful Vintage Blue Willow Luncheon Set that reminds me of the dishes my grandmother used to have.

MIRA Set of 3 Stainless Steel Lunch Box and Food Storage

I love storage bowls and I love Stainless Steel!  Combine these two things together, and I've got the perfect accessories for my kitchen!  I was honored when MIRA contacted me to do a review for their shiny MIRA Stainless Steel Lunch Box and Food Storage Bowls.  Each one of these bowls fits inside the other, giving you more room in your cabinets and pantry to store them.  

I received a set of three with the three colored lids shown.  You can purchase these Stainless Steel bowls with other lid color choices...just head on over to Amazon and find your perfect color.

The smallest bowl (5 oz), I used it to store some dehydrated cucumbers I made Sunday night.  The 8 oz and 16 oz are perfect to store leftover chopped onions, soup or maybe your left over lunch. 

With some bowls that come with lids, you never know if the lids will fit snug or even fit at all.  I can tell you from using these, you will not have to worry about loose, non-fitting lids. These  lids fit so secure, that there is a small tab like piece on the lid for easier removal of the lid. This is one of the features I really love about these MIRA set of 3 Stainless Steel Lunch Box and Food Storage Bowls.

Dog Bowls 32 Ounce Stainless Steel Review

Our dogs are like our kids!  When we go on vacations or camping trips, our dogs normally come with us. They love getting to go with us and love the outdoors!  Traveling on long vacations, such as those from where I live in Missouri, to Florida, can sometimes be a chore with two dogs.  

They have gotten really good about being in the car and not wanting to hang their heads out the windows on trips (just not possible when driving 60 mph down an interstate!)  But, when it comes to making pit stops, you know, the ones where not only us humans, but our doggies have to use the bathroom and grab something to eat, then you need an easy way to feed your little ones.

We used to take a small bowl with us, on trips, for our dogs to eat from.  Well, not anymore!  Thanks to these two 32 ounce Stainless Steel Dog Bowls, our dogs now have their own bowl to feed from!  These Stainless Steel Dog Bowls are very nice.  They are very well made and have a rubber bottom to prevent sliding around on floors.  I love the sleek and round design of these bowls and they are not cheaply made, like some I've seen.

They bowl itself, is 32 ounces, making it the perfect size for dog food and water.   They are very easy to clean and dishwasher safe.  You get not one, but two bowls for the price of one!  How awesome is that!!  

At home, my dogs are used to eating from the same bowls, everyday.  When I put the 32 ounce Stainless Steel Dog Bowls down for the first time, they kind of just stared at it, noticing something was new.  It didn't take them long to see the food in the bowls.  They immediately gobbled up their food and the bowls held the right amount for them.

If you want to get your beloved pets these 32 ounce Stainless Steel Dog Bowls, you can grab two, for the price of one, at AMAZON.  These are very nicely made and well built. I love the fact they have the rubber bottom, to prevent sliding all over the floors.

Thermo Dish Review

A gal can never have too many bowls and storage dishes in her kitchen, for me at least!  What better way to store hot and cold food, then in this 6 piece set of Thermo Dishes!  I was thrilled when I was approved to test and review these dishes, as it's not every day I have thermo dishes in my kitchen.

It seems like every time I cook food and try to keep the food warm while the rest of my dinner is cooking, something gets cold and then I have to reheat it.  This Thermo Dish set solves that!  No more lukewarm food for me!

The set I received was the white with red and is by the company, Pinnacle.  The set comes with a 0.5 qt container with lid, 1 qt container with lid and 2.5 qt dish with lid.  Colors that were available were Purple, Red and Turquoise.



First, when I received my set, I washed them with sudsy water.  These dishes are NOT dishwasher or microwave safe, therefore, you will have to wash them by hand.  To me, that didn't bother me.  They are very easy to clean, with no fuss.  

Next, before you store your hot or cold food in these dishes, it is recommended that you fill the dishes up with hot or cold water and let set for at least 5 minutes.  This is suppose to activate the thermo ability.

I tested these this past weekend and followed the above instructions.  I then made some potato salad and wanted to keep it warm.  After about 2 hours, the potato salad was still warm and did not get cold.  I was impressed.  These dishes, when following instructions for first use, is said to keep your food warm or cold for 4-6 hours.

The lids lock, to keep food fresh and safe from spilling and makes it easy for transporting to school, picnics, family gatherings and more.  It is recommended that when transporting, you want to make sure that the dishes are sitting upright and not on it's side.

Dishes are made with an inner stainless steel construction (hence, not microwave safe) and has a polyurethane insulation with locking lids. You can grab your own set of these Thermo dishes at Amazon . This Thermo 6 piece dish set retails for $61.45, but is on sale at Amazon for $38.99.
