Cooking with KaTom: Caribbean Chicken
One of the best parts of trying to eat healthy is that food made from scratch at home tastes amazing. I've been dabbling with lots of new recipes and have had some great success finding some the whole family loves. One of which is Caribbean Chicken. I will admit when making it I leave out the jalapeno chili's from the main marinade. I add them after in a separate bowl for my husband because I'm not a fan of anything the least bit spicy. I have to say it still turns out pretty darn delicious though!
Cuisine: Caribbean
Type: Healthy, Low Fat
Yield: 4 servings
Prep time: 10 minutes (plus 2-hour marination)
Cook time: 15 minutes
Recipe Credit: By Marie Powell
The marinade – which has a little bit of heat blended with just the right amount of sweet, savory, and aromatic spices – is absolutely fabulous for summer meals. Just the thought of this Carribean dish evokes images of tropical beaches, cool ocean breezes, and icy rum-infused cocktails (we’ll save those for another recipe!). Since it isn’t weighed down by heavy ingredients, this island indulgence is guilt-free and easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
For the Marinade:
4 medium green onions, sliced
1-2 jalapeno chilis, seeded and chopped (for additional heat, leave seeds in)
1⁄3 cup lemon juice
1⁄4 cup honey, warmed slightly to soften
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons olive oil
1⁄4 teaspoon ground allspice
1⁄4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Salt and pepper to taste
Add marinade ingredients in a bowl and whisk to combine. Place chicken in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
Pour marinade over chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Prep your grill or heavy flat-bottom skillet to medium-high heat.
Remove chicken from marinade and place on grill or skillet. (Use a non-stick skillet or add olive oil to skillet prior to cooking chicken.)
Cover and cook for 6-7 minutes per side or until internal temperature has reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Baste with marinade during cooking, but discard any remaining marinade before serving.
One of the most important parts when cooking raw meat is to always make sure it's done before serving. Which is super simple and easy to do with the KaTom Digital Thermometer (shown above).

Farberware Rice-n-Slice Vegetable Ricer
With the Farberware Rice-n-Slice you now have the ability to make cauliflower rice (or other vegetable rice) in the convenience of your own home. No more running to the store to get pre-made frozen cauliflower rice for pizza crusts, fried rice or any other recipe that requires traditional rice. I mention cauliflower rice since it seems to be so popular right now with many on Keto diets. Included with the 7.5-cup size bowl is a dual ended stainless steel chopping blade, which is perfect for ricing cooked vegetables. You can rice cauliflower, broccoli, squash, potatoes, turnips and more. With the one-handed pump mechanism, the Farberware Rice-n-Slice is easy to use and requires less strength then a traditional ricer. Simply push the pump up/down repeatedly, engaging the blade to spin; continue until the food is chopped into rice-sized pieces. The non-slip base will suction to smooth surfaces so the unit won't slip around on you either. For best results and to lengthen the life of your Farberware Rice-n-Slice it's recommended to only hand wash your unit and allow it to air dry.
Honestly it's as easy as it sounds. And just think of how much money you'll be saving using you're own fresh vegetables if you have your own garden! Rice up your fresh veggies then vacuum bag them and freeze them yourself for quick and easy use later on.
Buy it: You can purchase the Farberware Rice-n-Slice on Amazon.

Egg Peeling Made Easy with The Negg!
If you've ever tried to peel a farm fresh hard-boiled egg then you know it's not an easy task. Because farm fresh eggs haven't been sitting around for several weeks the inside is nice and full and there isn't a very big air pocket. That air pocket that's found in store bought eggs is what allows them to easily be peeled when hard-boiled. As someone that has chickens I had pretty much given up believing there was an easy way to peel hard-boiled eggs from our chickens. Well unless I let them sit in the refrigerator for a few weeks causing them to be more like store bought eggs..and lets be honest that kind of defeats the purpose of having fresh eggs at home. Then along came The Negg. It was like the kitchen fairies had been watching me struggle and knew I needed a simple solution. And let me tell you The Negg is just that....SIMPLE. In three easy steps your egg is peeled and ready to eat without all of the trials and tribulations.
Step 1: Add a little water to The Negg container.
Step 2: Drop in and egg and snap on the cap.
Step 3: Give it a few shakes. (the more you shake the more the eggshell cracks)
And there you have it. Take the cap off and your ready to just slide the shell right off you're hard-boiled egg. No muss no fuss!
About:
Few snacks are as handy, tasty and nutritious as a hard boiled egg. But let's face it - it can be time-consuming and frustrating to peel eggs. The Negg helps take out the mess to peeling hard-boiled eggs! Simply add a little water and egg inside The Negg, SNAP on the cap, SHAKE a few times and the shell will slip off easily, ready to serve. The Negg's patent-pending design includes egg-shaped bumps on the inside to help facilitate the removal of the shell. Made in the USA and BPA free.

It's time for Cinco de Mayo! Whose with me when it comes to choosing fresh made dips over store bought? To me they just have a better overall flavor to them that really stands out. I've been getting more creative in the kitchen lately making my own salsa and guacamole dips so we have some yummy treats for our Cinco de Mayo themed dinner tonight.
I recently received a T-fal Ingenio 5 Second Chopper to test out and I have to say it's made dip making a breeze! In a matter of seconds I can start with a half of an onion (in chunks) and end up with nice diced up pieces perfect for my homemade salsa and other dips! It's super easy to use, and super easy to clean after you're done too. That's probably my second favorite part. I love kitchen gadgets that are easy to clean after use.

Ozeri Prestige Electric Wine Opener
The Ozeri Prestige Electric Wine Opener makes opening wine bottles easy to do in just seconds with just the push of a button. After removing the foil with the included foil cutter you simply put the wine opener on the top of the cork and then press the lower part of the side button. After you hear the motor stop you will be able to lift it up and see that the cork has been removed and is secured inside the wine opener end. Then with a second push of the button, this time the top part the cork is then released. It truly is that quick and easy to do. The wine opener features an ergonomic rubberized soft grip that fits in the palm of your hand making it comfortable to hold. Plus it's cordless so there's no dangling cord in your way. We don't drink a lot of wine in my house, so the fact that it will open up to 80 bottles in one single charge will definitely make it last a long time between charging. The other great part is it's very sleek and stylish looking so it doesn't' become an eyesore when sitting on your counter between uses.
