Foodie Friday: Kitchen Wonders For $50 And Less

{ Via: Williams Sonoma } 

Today's inspiration comes from one of my very favorite food and cooking websites Food52. They have the best items in the shop, great DIYS, and fabulous recipes. To tell you the truth, I don't feel like cooking this weekend. But I am always interested in a little kitchen counter chic or a time saving tool.  Don't worry, there is a flavor packed recipe at the end of the post. Before you get there, check out these interesting, good looking, and 
affordable products.

You just can't beat this versatile and modern French stoneware. These pretty pieces will cook and serve individual mac and cheese, apple cobbler, onion soup, chili and more. Now nicely marked down.
Sur La Table 

Himalayan Salt with Grater

Have you tried this before? We all hear about the dangers of sodium from our doctors.  But have they told you about the benefits of Himalayan Sea Salt? Ours either. But we use it. It's delicious (because it is not processed) and hasn't raised our blood pressure at all. Read about the benefits and judge for yourself. Hands up if you think it is beautiful to look at!

Melamine Nested Storage Bowls
This Food52 X Rosti Mepal collaboration is clever and colorful. You'll find a shade to match every counter like Black, Grey, and the pretty pastels.

Herb Keeper
If you cook with fresh herbs (and you should), you realize that once you bring them in from the garden or market, they really don't like the refrigerator. Mine tend to wilt and dry up quickly. This terrific idea will keep your herbs fresher much longer.

Caribbean Shrimp Tacos with Roasted Jalapeño Pineapple Salsa
Think tropical thoughts with this fresh and flavorful recipe. Best yet, it only takes 20 minutes to prepare. This is a must make for me.
