Blogiversary Giveaway!!!!

August 25th marks my first anniversary. It was one year ago on that date that I started Goddess of Cooking. Since then I have shared over 100 recipes and how to's with you. What better way to celebrate then to give away a couple of my favorite kitchen tools??? I have five tools that I absolutely love to use in my kitchen and now you get the chance to own them too! So first let me show you what you could win, then I'll tell you just how you can win them!

First is a salt cellar:

This is acutally a new item for me. I was using just a regular spice container and every time I needed salt I would dump some into the lid so that I could grab a pinch or two. The salt cellar has made that so much easier! I just open the lid and my salt is right there, letting grab just what I need. Not a salt person? Use it for any spice you want!

Next item is a Mandoline:

I've had a mandoline for quite some time now. I use it for thinly slicing all sorts of veggies. It's grate for when you need thin sliced potato's for a gratan. This one has three different slice thickness as well as three different juliene thickness. 

Next up is a Potato Ricer:

If you have never used a ricer to make mashed potatos then you are going to fall in love with this tool! Not only does it mash cooked potatoes quickly but it creates a fine, smooth, silky texture that you can't get with an old fashion potato masher or even a hand mixer. It's great for making gnocchi too. I've also heard from people that use it to press the water out of frozen spinach that was thawed and even to evenly distribute ricotta cheese over lasagna!

A Citrus Squeezer:

This handly little tool works so much better then a juicer. With a juicer your really need some elbow grease to get the juice out plus they're a pain to clean. With this juicer, you just place your citrus fruit inside and give a squeeze. It keeps in all the pulp and seeds and gets every last drop of flavorful juice!

And the last tool in this great set is a micro-plane/grater:

One of my favorite kitchen tools by far. I have a thinner one that is more true of a micro-plane but I love these wider ones too. You can use these for grating chocolate, Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, zesting citrus fruits and even finely mincing garlic cloves. I use mine almost every night when making supper.
