My hubby bought this gift for me as somewhat of a joke several years ago. He found it in one of those, “As Seen on TV” stores in the tiny mall in Santa Maria where we lived in California before we moved to Colorado. My hubby has a great sense of humor and sometimes he likes to have a little fun with the gifts he gives the girls and I. As a terrible example, I got some crime scene tape and google eyes in my stocking this year. Nicole got some fake finger door hooks. He also gives the most wonderful, thoughtful gifts, but sometimes he cracks himself up and has to give us something he finds hilarious.
This particular gift ended up being a hit, rather than a gag gift. I loved it so much, in fact, that when the original one warped from being washed too much in the dishwasher, I had to buy a replacement. It is dishwasher safe, but after so many washes, some of the pieces would not longer fit together and when I would try and shut the lid to chop the veggies, I would have to eat my Wheaties first, otherwise it would be an epic fail!
This little chopper is so handy! I don’t use it every day, but when I have a lot of chopping to do, It comes in handy. It chops everything evenly, and you can move so quickly through a lot of chopping with it. There are no tears when chopping onions and it has different attachments, depending on what size you are looking for, so you can get just the right size. It is definitely something I will purchase again if my current one goes to the kitchen graveyard.
I got mine at Walgreens, but you can also find them on Amazon.

Hey, sista! Super excited for you about all of this! It’s summertime and my garden will soon harvest, so I love anything that is quick to cook, heat-wise, and full of fresh veggies! I also prefer meals that don’t use anything processed. I will too, sometimes, use ready-made ingredients, but when I can, I like to start from scratch. Love you!
