My all-time-favorite-kitchen gadgets!

After putting a lot of thought into my purchases, since I am a sucker for "impulse buys", I believe I have about 5-6 items sitting on my my kitchen counter which I use on a regular basis. My newfound-love for juicing lead me to buy my black and decker juicer - ah! the freshest juice I have ever had, my magic bullet - love it for the delicious smoothies it helps me make plus dry and wet indian masalas, My black and decker toaster oven - such an easy way to quickly toast up everything from garlic bread to hash browns, to reheating pizzas and you name it, my "Rival" electric can opener - what a relief from cutting myself several times while using the hand held ones, and last but not the least my microwave oven. Need I sing the praises of the microwave? Also let me add the george foreman grill to make grilled fish, chicken and all kinds of panini-pressed sandwiches. Now now!!! before I forget - my slow cookers to make awesome soups, daals and goat meat curry, :-).

These few purchases have made my life easier in this country. If you really plan your day ahead of time, you can cook within a short span of time and have a healthy meal at home on a regular basis. Everyone, including me, complaining - " No time to cook", actually feel lazy to put the minimal effort into cooking after a days work. I know its tough, but whoever said life would be easy as pie? Its all about planning your entire week and getting the grocery done. Ones thats taken care of, the cooking isnt that big of a deal. This is tried and tested.

Happy cooking and healthy eating!!
