<\/p>\nHey everyone!\u00a0 Happy Friday.\u00a0 I know that we always have a recipe for you on Fridays here on the blog, but although today’s post isn’t a recipe, it is food related.\u00a0 We are sharing four things that we recently added to our kitchens, and we think you need them, too.\u00a0 With the holiday\/cooking season starting next week, you will get a lot of use out of each of these items.\u00a0 And the nice thing is that if you order them today, they will be here before Thanksgiving.\u00a0 That’s a win, win!!! I am not a gadget girl.\u00a0 I only want things in my kitchen that I will use on a regular basis.\u00a0 So,these items made the cut and made their way into my kitchen.\u00a0 That is saying a lot.\u00a0 And remember that by using our links, it is no additional cost to you, but we earn a small commission that helps support our blog.<\/p>\n

I have used a food scale<\/a><\/span> for years so that I could easily measure out recipes that were listed in grams.\u00a0 And wouldn’t you know that when I needed it one day, my old scale was broken and couldn’t be revived.\u00a0 So, I ordered this scale<\/a><\/span> which was highly rated.\u00a0 It arrived just in time.\u00a0 When I was prepping food for the\u00a0 afternoon tea I served this week (photos of that soon), I made French macarons, and the recipe was in grams.\u00a0 Luckily, my new scale<\/span><\/a> had arrived the day before.\u00a0 No worries, because it also measures in ounces.\u00a0 Even if you don’t use one frequently, it’s always nice to have a digital scale<\/a><\/span> on hand when you do, and this one is less than 10 dollars.\u00a0 You can order it here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n I am not a big coffee drinker, but when I do, it’s either a latte or a cappuccino.\u00a0 When I was in France, I had a cappuccino every day and wanted the option of drinking one on a whim here at home.\u00a0 I bought this milk frother<\/a><\/span> for my milk, and it is a game changer.\u00a0 While my coffee is brewing (we have this Keurig), I heat milk in the microwave.\u00a0 Then by using this frother,<\/a><\/span> the milk gets nice and foamy in about 15 seconds.\u00a0 (It took me longer the first time until I got the hang of it.)\u00a0 Also, this would be a great stocking stuffer or a gift for a teacher, friend, or office coworker. It’s less than 15 dollars.\u00a0 You can buy it here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n What was I thinking?\u00a0 I have been serving afternoon tea for years, but yet, I didn’t have a three tier cake stand<\/span><\/a> to serve all of the goodies on.\u00a0 I didn’t want to deal with storing one because it would take up square footage and possibly get broken.\u00a0 Then I learned that they come apart and store in the flat box they come in!!!\u00a0 I immediately ordered three.\u00a0 Now, here’s the beauty of this cake stand<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span> You can use it as a one-tier cake stand, a two-tier cake stand, or a three-tier cake stand.\u00a0 Think how pretty Christmas cookies or chocolates would look on it. Or, if you’re like me, you like to pass around little chocolate mints after a holiday meal.\u00a0 The small top tier would be perfect for that.\u00a0 A cake stand<\/span><\/a> just elevates whatever you are serving to another level.\u00a0 And having one with three layers is so versatile.\u00a0 You can buy it here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n In addition to the vintage copper pots that I bought at a flea market in Paris (you saw them on our Instagram<\/span><\/a>), I splurged and bought a new copper saucepan<\/a> <\/span>at D’Hilleran.\u00a0 That’s the cookware shop made famous by Julia Child and Ina Garten (The Barefoot Contessa.)\u00a0 It has taken my cooking to a whole new level.\u00a0 I don’t know if I am actually a better cook because of it, but I feel as if I am!!!!\u00a0 It is such a treat to place it on our new stove <\/span><\/a>and cook something.\u00a0 I swear……I feel as if my oatmeal even tastes better.\u00a0 So, if you have ever thought about buying a good copper pot<\/a><\/span>, you won’t be disappointed.\u00a0 You can buy a similar one made in France here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey everyone!\u00a0 Happy Friday.\u00a0 I know that we always have a recipe for you on Fridays here on the blog, but although today’s post isn’t a recipe, it is food related.\u00a0 We are sharing four things that we recently added to our kitchens, and we think you need them, too.\u00a0 With the holiday\/cooking season starting […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":43361,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":""},"categories":[26,18,12],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43351"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=43351"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43351\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":43365,"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43351\/revisions\/43365"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/43361"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=43351"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=43351"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/the2seasons.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=43351"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Milk Frother<\/h2>\n
