Are you stumped as to what to buy a person this holiday season that has �everything?�  In fact, are you one of those people who is a shopping nightmare for those who want to buy you a gift?  Make life easier for yourself and those who will be shopping for you by considering one of these trendy, healthy holiday kitchen gadgets that are guaranteed to keep giving throughout the year:

If you like frozen desserts but not the extra calories and added sugar, you are in for a sweet treat.  The newest rage this season is a frozen fruit ice cream maker, which is a fun appliance that converts chunks of 100 percent sweet fruit into a healthy, soft-serve frozen fruit dessert (see photo).   You�ll never eat ice cream again.

How do you make pasta that is made from veggies?  Use a vegetable spiralizer.  You can make zucchini noodles, carrot spaghetti, and beet curls.  The veggies options and shapes are endless.  

Go green this season and make your own bottled flavored sparkling water.  The bottles are not only reusable but you can also flavor the bubbly waters with calorie-free fresh lemon, lime, or orange slices.  The best part is that your home recycling bottle bin will be empty.

Infuse your favorite cooking oil with herbs in an oil mister and then pump a light coating of this culinary delight onto your saut� pan.  According to a Cook�s Illustrated comparison report, this reusable gadget can save you money over the long run compared to purchasing nonstick cooking sprays at the supermarket, and the mister is easily cleaned in the dishwasher.   Save money and eliminate wasteful, empty spray cans.

All of these are on my list.

Happy Holidays,

Joan
