My All Time Favorite Kitchen Tool

Actually, I am not sure that it could be considered an actual “kitchen tool” but it certainly is a tool in my kitchen. I bet my sister-in-law had no idea how valuable this simple Christmas gift of years past would be to me. Ever since I opened up the gift package several years ago it has sat on my kitchen counter and I probably look at it twenty + times a day. It’s a simple recipe holder with a glass front and oak base which matches the oak floors in my kitchen. I believe the sturdy materials add to its value since I have seen many recipe holders made of plastic. I’m not certain a plastic recipe holder could hold the heavy hard-backed books that I sometimes put in mine and the plastic may not clean up as well as the glass in mine. I put my menu in the recipe holder and reference it throughout the day. I also put to-do lists behind the glass as well as any recipe that I am currently fixing and there are adjustments on it for thick stacks so I can pull all my recipes for the month and stack them neatly behind the front menu. Not only is it handy but it keeps everything neat looking and for someone like myself who does not like kitchen clutter of any kind on my counters it is a perfect fit.
