“It’s the Simple Things”

I often remember my mother telling me; “It’s the simple things”. The point that she was trying to make to me was to enjoy the small things in life that and to be grateful for them. It is the simple thing we do for people. The idea behind this phrase is that it’s not the grand gestures or big events that make our lives better, but rather the small, everyday moments that add up and create a positive impact.

Cooking your favorite meal can be one of those small things that makes you and others happy. Whether you love the process of cooking (adding spices, sprinkling in herbs, and taste-testing every five minutes) or just enjoy the delicious meal at the end of it, cooking your favorite dish is so much fun. 

Our kitchen arsenal can include so many tools that are essential to making our meals. However, it can often times be the most simple and basic ones that offer versatility in our day-to-day prep. One tool that many of our customers ask for is the Kwik-Cut chopper. The Kwik-Cut manufacturing company is actually out of Mohawk, New York! The tooth edge chopper is our #1 seller! The most popular uses are mixing tuna fish or egg salads. Also, it can be used for chopping fruits, nuts and vegetables, blending pastry, or tenderizing steak. The plain edge chopper has an aluminum handle and a stainless-steel blade. The most popular use is as a biscuit cutter but it can also be used for chopping fruits, nuts and vegetables or blending pastry.

The simplest things in life hold far better meaning and significance.  Preparing home-cooked meals or making on of your culinary specialty creations.  Showing you care doesn’t require expensive gifts or showy gestures. It’s the simple things from the heart that really count.
