The Perfect Kitchen Assistant

Over the years, I have purchased some tools that I don’t know how I could have lived without and others that were less than great. Some of them are hand-me-downs from my mother and that is why you will be seeing quite a bit of that beautiful yellow color from her era! Hey, I am not going to knock the color, they do the job and better yet, they were FREE! A tidbit – go to garage sales or estate sales where a lot of times they are selling fantastic cooking tools for cheap! I have put together a list of my favorites that may end up being your perfect assistants in the kitchen!
