Breakfast Essentials for Your Kitchen Review- Courtesy of Hayneedle and $50 Gift Certificate Giveaway!

With the holidays upon us and so much shopping to be done, wouldn't it be simple to find everything for everyone on your shopping list all in one place? This can be done!

Hayneedle.com includes over 220 stores for you to shop from! Each one of their stores is devoted to a single product category, ensuring you will find what you are looking for. Whether you want toys for the kids, tools for your husband, quilting rack for Grandma, or a whole new living room set...you can purchase it all from the same shopping cart! The people at Hayneedle work hard to offer you the finest selection, best value, and most convenient shopping experience you've ever had.

I personally was in need of a new toaster and had fun searching over all the small appliances in Hayneedles online store. My old toaster finally decided to die after 8 long years. It served us well, but with our expanding family I was on the look out for a 4 slot toaster. Another feature that was important to me was size. My kitchen is small and counter space is limited.
I found just what I was looking for, the Cuisinart 4-slice compact toaster! This toaster has all the cool features but is only slightly larger than a standard toaster. I love it! It has extra-wide slots for toasting bagels, 9-setting browning controls with LED backlight, extra-lift carriage lever (so nice to easily reach toast when ready), dual slide-out crumb trays and reheat, defrost, and bagel buttons. For under $50 this toaster is awesome! Great deal.

Next on my list was a "want" not a need, but my children have been begging me for homemade waffles. I was thrilled to receive the KRUPS brand 4-Slice Waffle Chef Waffle Maker! This waffle maker is so easy to use...simply plug in, lightly coat with butter or oil, pour waffle mix onto waffle plates, shut lid and within a minute or so you have 4 large, fluffy, yummy Belgian waffles! I made mine with 100% fresh whole wheat flour (I'll post recipe ) and they turned out fabulous!

Another nice feature of the KRUPS waffle maker is it's easy to clean interior. I have been making a lot of waffles lately and the waffle iron looks as good as new. I have not dealt with caked on batter as everything lifts off nicely. I haven't necessarily had to "clean" it. I have lightly brushed with a wet wash cloth to remove crumbs and that's it!

When I am finished using the Waffle Maker, the cord tucks away inside and the whole appliance is stored upright in my cupboard without taking up space. Very nice!

I have been extremely impressed by my experience with Hayneedle. I received friendly customer service, fast shipping and quality products. You should definitely check them out!
