Who would have thought that the next best thing to hiring a professional chef to prep your fruit and veggies would be using a cut-resistant glove?
If you’ve ever cut yourself in the kitchen, perhaps it was because you:
- Didn’t pay attention nor realized you were running out of food to slice
- Tried to slice down to the last sliver of food, instead of pulling out a knife to finish the job, throwing the stub away or snacking on the stub
- Used too much force: slicing food that was too hard (e.g., radishes, beets), too wide or using a blunt mandoline
Well, now you can make your cutting tasks easier by using a cut-resistant glove
- Stay safe and protected while using zesters, graters, and peelers
- Made out of cut-resistant fibers, yet is stretchable, lightweight, and breathable
- Comfortable to use, comes in one size, and fits right or left hands
- Safe to wash
- Great idea for any kitchen enthusiast!

In the mirror he saw a 310-lb. man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn’t end well—with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn’t far behind. Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead
is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe's personal mission to regain his health. With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long-term, Joe turns to the only option left, the body's ability to heal itself.

Across 3,000 miles Joe has one goal in mind: To get off his pills and achieve a balanced lifestyle. Read More→With all the hoopla that has been going on in the raw foods community surrounding the "rawness" of agave nectar, here's an alternative, natural sweetener: Date Paste.
Date paste, you ask?
Where can you get it? Well, actually you can make it yourself. Just pit some dates, Medjool preferably. Then, in a high-speed blender, add the dates with a little bit of water, and blend away until smooth and creamy. The more water you add, the thinner the consistency and the more diluted the taste. Now if you prefer to do this by hand, just use a mortar and pestle. Same results, just takes a lot longer (if you don't mind).
What's it for? Use as a sweetener without added liquid. Useful in cakes, cookies, crusts, icing, mousse, pies, toppings, ice cream, parfait, puddings, truffles. You name it!

1 cup filtered water
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Preparation
In a high-speed blender, combine all ingredients and blend until smooth and creamy. For a more syrupy consistency, add more water.
