Description

Now that our kitchen is close to completion, I'm planning for a long, warm winter of cooking - I've always wanted an immersion blender for soups and sauces, and this one looks outstanding.

Jo Malone | Lime Basil & Mandarin

First to recommend

Description

I LOVE Jo Malone's products... the scents are divine and you can create your own complex fragrance by layering a couple of complementary scents. Now they make a pricey shower gel - definitely NOT the kind of thing I am shelling out for right now. But if someone wants to gift me...

Costco - J.A. Henckels International 10-piece Forged Knife Set

First to recommend

Description

Our old Farberware knives are not in good shape. We could use a nice set like this one.

Breville Ikon Panini Press | Williams-Sonoma

First to recommend

Description

Now that we will have more counterspace, more storage space AND more electrical outlets in our new kitchen, I'm looking at new small appliances. I've always wanted one of these - plus, my new Wolfgang Puck cookbook has a lot of recipes that use one.

RK Express Coffee

First to recommend

Description

My current diet regimen doesn't allow me any dairy, which means I can no longer enjoy my beloved grande lattes. This liquid coffee concentrate tastes surprisingly good black (no bitterness at all) -- and is perfect for those times when all I want is one easy cup.

MBT Boost

First to recommend

Description

OK, I don't have a pair of these -- YET. Because at $250+ per pair, they're an investment. But if they work: allowing you to tone and strengthen the muscles in your legs just by going about your business, they could save me a fortune in gym membership fees. So I want 'em. I want 'em badly.

Nintendo DS

10 people recommended this item

Description

A handheld gaming system on a list of weight loss aids? You're darn tootin'! Like lots of people, I have a problem with "night feeding" -- craving sweets and carbs late at night while watching TV. But a funny thing happened when I got my DS -- started playing games and doing puzzles during that late night danger zone... and with both my hands occupied, I broke myself of the night feeding habit. And I can take this baby with me anywhere I'm tempted to snack out of boredom.

Diabetic and Low Carb Chocolate

First to recommend

Description

It's chocolate sweetened with malitol, which means it can be tolerated by diabetics and low carb dieters (each candy bar is just 2g usable carbs) and just 170 calories (compared to 36g of carbs and 300 calories for a Hershey bar). It's a life saver for that time of month when you HAVE to have some chocolate (the ladies will know what I mean).

Sugar Free and Fat Free Dressings

First to recommend

Description

My diet program is not only low carb -- it's low cal and low fat, too. It's hard to find a good tasting salad dressing that satisfies all three requirements. Maple Grove Farms makes a balsamic vinaigrette and a raspberry vinaigrette that fit the bill. I use the former as a marinade for flank steak and the latter for chicken and my family doesn't know the difference! (This is the sweetest thing of all.)

No Fat, No Carb, No Calorie Salad Dressings

First to recommend

Description

Because (hard to believe though it is) I get tired of eating lettuce doused with vinegar.

Dieting Sucks

Updated Oct 16, 2007

I love good food and good wine. A lot. That's why I eventually had to go on a strict weight loss diet. It's hateful, but it's...
