April showers bring melamine flowers!

These cheery cake stand sets turn cake into cool for a fun-loving holiday brunch, outdoor feast, even an offbeat wedding. The knife doubles as a cake server and is kid-friendly (i.e. not too sharp and indestructible).

Ceramic is the new green!

This beautiful new ceramic pan from Berndes pan has it all: it’s free of chemicals and Teflon, heats evenly, and is naturally non-stick. The handle is heat-protected, so it can go right under the broiler. Omelets slide right out and onions caramelize beautifully.

This eco-friendly work horse retails for $121.99, but we are giving one away this month to a lucky subscriber. Send in a comment and make sure you are a Beverly Hills Farmgirl subscriber!

February is the month to think pink!

I was floored when I tried the new ceramic knives from Kyocera. Not only do they slice like a scalpel, they fit well in hand and stay sharp up to 15 times longer than metal-based knives. What’s more, the blades will never rust or damage food. So you can say goodbye to browning when chopping fresh herbs, lettuce and vegetables.

This all-purpose pink Santoko knife is perfect for slicing, dicing and mincing. Plus, $5.00 from each knife sold is donated to breast cancer research.

Just in time for all your New Year’s resolutions, the OXO Good Grips Egg Beater combines old-fashioned reliability with fresh innovation for whipping up perfect egg white omelets, soufflés, and fluffy whipped cream (made from coconut milk, of course!). The two stainless steel beaters remove easily for cleaning. and the base can be tossed into the dishwasher. Plus it’s a fun way to coax your kids into the kitchen!
