My kitchen is my safe haven.  When I’m frustrated,  I bake a loaf of bread for some one. When I’m having a rough day – Gracie and I make a special dinner.   I talk to the Lord and vent on bread dough rather than getting angry and upset at others.  It is also my creative place – I just love to invent new recipes and I rarely follow a recipe.

The Food Network Store has become a favorite place for me to shop for the necessary things for my kitchen.  I just recently purchased two of the above red loaf pan stoneware by Rachael Ray.  I absolutely love its color and the fact that is freezer safe, dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe.  All of my loaf pans in the past have been metal making them really only oven safe.

I love to shop cookware sections of all stores because it allows me to discover great new products for my kitchen.   I also purchased the above cherry rectangular baker with bonus pan.  It is also stoneware so it cooks wonderfully and is so versatile.

From cookware to even my silverware, the Food Network Store has definitely become my favorite place to shop!
