I just found the most fabulous place to shop for gourmet food, kitchen gadgets and all kinds of “As Seen on TV” merchandise. The company is called The Home Marketplace and they offer everything from soup to nuts.

If you’re hosting holiday parties, check out The Home Marketplace. You’ll find all kinds of entertainment goodies! They have party decorations, tabletop accessories, dinnerware, drinkware, stemware, serveware and any other kind of ‘ware’ you can think of. Best of all the prices are affordable and some are downright cheap!

I found a drink mixer that I’ve been looking for what seems like a lifetime. This thing is so retro, I love it! I purchased the entire set consisting of the drink mixer, 2 glasses and these awesome stainless steel holders. I must be digressing back to my childhood because this comes straight out of the 50s. Check it out…

Is that cool or what? I also bought a pretzel maker. My favorite part of going to the mall is to get a fresh, hot pretzel. Yum! Now I can make them at home and won’t have to pay ridiculous prices for one. I cannot wait to try this out. I bought the pretzel mix too. You just add water and voila ~ instant dough.

If all goes well, look for gourmet pretzel recipes in the near future. If you have a pretzel recipe to share, please post it here. I’m eager to experiment!

With two recent frozen hamburger patties recalls, I thought it would be a good idea to invest in a burger press and make my own. You could use the burger press to make chicken, turkey, beef, veggie or nut burgers. When you order the burger press, you have an option to purchase a package of 350 pre-cut wax papers for $7.99. While it is time saving, if you’re cheap like me, buy a roll of wax paper and cut the squares your self.

Have you ever been to one of those specialty ice cream stores where you can add your choice of ingredients? While I’m not a big fan of adding stuff to my ice cream, I do like the consistency of the ice cream after they mix it on the marble slab. So, when I saw this Smashing Ice Cream set, I just had to buy it

That’s about it for my shopping spree, but I’ll be going back for more soon. Each year I prepare baked goods for my husband’s company. This year I’m kicking it up a notch and using some of the unique baking molds and specialty foods at The Home Marketplace. I think the recipients will be pleasantly surprised.
