I didn’t know that Grippo’s BBQ chips were a local thing until I spoke about them recently to an out-of-town friend who had no idea what I was talking about. After some online searching I discovered this chip company was based out of Cincinnati, Ohio and being in Indiana that is why most grocery stores carry their line of snacks. I must tell you that the BBQ flavor is something almost indescribable. The are soft chips with a sweet, yet hot seasoning that you will crave after the first bite. I’ve never met anyone who doesn’t enjoy them.

Grippo’s dubs themselves as the “fun food company,” and judging by the delicious chips I’ve had thus far, I would have to believe it. If they aren’t available in a store near you, then go online and order a box. I promise you won’t be disappointed. Next on my grocery list is to find the Hot Dill Pickle and the Sweet Bermuda Onion chips to try. I was surprised to find that Grippo’s makes pretzels and other snacks such as cheese popcorn.

My family was recently in search of a pizza cutter that wouldn’t wobble and come apart when we used it. For the last few years we’ve had several cheap versions that has occupied our utensil drawer. Each time we pulled one out to use, we would pray it would work one more time without falling apart. Imagine how delighted I was to find the OXO Good Grips 4 inch pizza cutter.

Not only was the handle comfortable to hold and easy to manuaver, but it was sturdy. The real test of course was to see if it cut all the way through the crust on the first try and it passed with flying colors. I can honestly say this was the best $12 I’ve spent on a kitchen utensil in a long time. I may have to try some of the other OXO kitchen products, because I was very impressed with this. The OXO Good Grips pizza cutter is a must have item for every kitchen.
