Christmas Gift Guide 2017 DALSTRONG Santoku Knife

DALSTRONG Santoku Knife

I am sold! I think I could almost live with just a Santoku knife. OK maybe a paring knife and a bread knife too. But everything else I chop, cut, smash, quarter, etc with my Santoku knife. Best thing ever and it shows no signs of needing to be sharpened.

kitchenaid_artisan Christmas Gift Guide 2017

KitchenAid Artisan Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

So during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday I took the plunge. I found a deal I could not pass up and realized a dream I had been fantasizing about for a while. I got a KitchenAid stand mixer. And it has surpassed my expectations. My old stand mixer pales in comparison, actually, it should just be ashamed lol. The KitchenAid is a real workhorse. Bread was my power test and it passed with flying colors. The Artisan model has 325 watts of power. And it is so gorgeous, sleek and solidly built. I am in heaven!

Set of 4 Moscow Mule Copper Mugs with Copper Shot Glass

Have you joined the Moscow Mule cocktail bandwagon yet? I fell in love at first sip. And the glasses they are served in are just so freaking cool! I actually got these as a gift for a friend and she says she adores them and they get a lot of use. Of course, you can feel free to serve other cocktails in it too. Place these 100% copper mugs in the freezer and enjoy a very cold drink anytime.

Christmas Gift Guide 2017 CanPrev Adrenal-Pro

CanPrev Adrenal-Pro Recharge Yourself, 120 Vegicaps

I bet you are surprised to see pills on this post, right? Well, these have become a lifesaver. Last February my energy and mood plummeted. I was even starting to think I was getting the women’s mid-life big “M” starting t knock at the door. Turns out it was stress and lack of energy. These caps are all natural and they work on balancing the hormone levels of the adrenal glands, like cortisol. So if you have low energy, body aches, low blood pressure, unexplained weight loss, lightheadedness and high stress I HIGHLY recommend you give these a try.

silicone-ice-cube-tray

Redcolourful 6 Squares Ice Cube Tray Soft Silicone

Yes, I am excited about an ice tray. I like my cocktails very cold about I hate my ice melting too fast and diluting my drink. This tray makes six 2-inch square ice cubes. Not only do they look beautiful but they keep my drink colder longer and do not melt as fast. And you only need one per drink. And because they are made of silicone you can also put hem in the oven if you want to make little cakes, chocolate, jelly, cookies and the like.

Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker Christmas Gift Guide 2017

Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker

So the secret of many chefs and restaurants for cooking meats perfectly tender is now affordable and available to the general public. This cylindric gadget lets you prepare sous-vide dishes at home. Sous vide, which means “under vacuum” in French, refers to the process of vacuum-sealing food in a bag, then cooking it to a very precise temperature in a water bath. Foods come out moist, juicy and tender. This is how you make the perfect rare steak.

APEMAN 4K Action Camera WiFi 20MP Christmas Gift Guide 2017

APEMAN 4K Action Camera WiFi 20MP

Action cameras are all the rage right now, like the famous GoPros. You do not need to be a stuntman to have it in your photo camera arsenal. These cameras are TINY! Like this one is 6 x 3 x 4 cm (2.3 x 1.2 x 1.6 in). Perfect when traveling. They take wide-angle pictures and video. This newer model is 4K, connects to WIFI and it is waterproof. The Apeman cameras also come with a carrying case and a whole bunch of accessories so you can mount it almost anywhere. I got mine just before my trip to China. The Apeman is comparable to GoPro…just a whole lot cheaper.

More Than Poutine cookbook Christmas Gift Guide 2017

More Than Poutine: Favourite Foods from My Home and Native Land

I just blogged about this cookbook by Marie Porter recently and made a Donair sandwich which you all just LOVED! Of all my new cookbooks this year, this is my favorite. And you do not need to be from Canada to enjoy it. So many fun recipes and a great way to explore the Canadian food landscape.

oatbox Christmas Gift Guide 2017

Monthly Granola OatBox

I have joined and dropped several monthly boxes in the past, but OatBox is here to stay. You get two high-quality granola bags every month. The flavors change and are seasonal, or you can change your order to get that favorite mix you got a few months back (for me it is the Oat Crunch and Cherry Granola). I have these sent to work and enjoy them for breakfast on weekdays at my desk. You can easily skip months if you like. This awesome granola box is based in my city of Montreal but the 20$ monthly box does ship all across North America.

Omega Paw Roll N Clean Self Cleaning Litter Box Christmas Gift Guide 2017

Omega Paw Roll N Clean Self Cleaning Litter Box, Large

Confession time. I will say it out loud. Dogs are lovely, but I am a cat person! Righ now I have one cat resident at home, Sati, my 11-year-old female brown tabby. One of the reasons I like cats is because of how low maintenance they are. The one pain in the ass is the littler box. But I got this Omega Paw Roll N Clean box and it has made my life so much easier. Just roll the box, tap, pull out the tray with the dirty litter and toss. No more scooping, no more clouds of dust, no more odour outside the box. Love this thing so much!
