  • Arrange slices of a yummy baguette on the side
  • Add a few more accoutrements such as fresh or dried fruits, quince paste, nuts, cured meats, olives, etc.

The American-Made Pizza Cutter You Need To Use For Pizza Week

Pizza Cutter for Pizza Week

Pizza used to be pretty basic, but not these days. It can be quite a versatile dish. From gluten-free crusts, to cauliflower crusts and plant-based meats and cheeses, the possibilities are endless for people who follow even the strictest of diets. So this week, during National Pizza Week, it’s time to celebrate this wonderful pie.

But what if you don’t want to make it all from scratch? What if your local pizza joint just doesn’t make it exactly like you want? Then turn to your freezer and pull out your favorite ready-made pizza and glam it up with extra toppings- fresh tomatoes, olive oil, extra cheese, whatever you can find!

Artisan toppings can turn that boring frozen pizza into something way more delicious and enjoyable than just a plain ol’ slice of cheese pizza.

After you patiently wait for it to bake, grab your American-made pizza cutter and you’ll easily be able to feed all of your family and friends. That is, if there’s any leftover once you’re done with it!

How often are you able to corral your entire family together for dinner? Just one or two days a week? Everyday? It’s not a competition- do whatever is reasonable for your family to handle. Today is National Sunday Supper Day, a day that revolves around the idea to help bring families together around the dinner table. In decades past, it was a common tradition for families to gather in the kitchen, help prepare a large Sunday dinner, and then sit down to enjoy it together. Nowadays with work schedules, homework, after-school activities, and the like, it can be hard to get everyone together, no matter the size of your family. It starts with just one day a week, and can quickly become a weekly or daily tradition.

Here are some easy tips to help bring #SundaySupper back:

  • Plan the menu with your family- you’ll have something everyone will look forward to
  • Keep it simple- choose no-fuss recipes
  • Prep your meal with American Made Cutlery– it’ll speed things up so you spend more time bonding, and less time cooking

And don’t stress about it! Do what works for your family. Just cook, sit, eat, and communicate, and it will quickly set a positive vibe throughout your household.

The Best Fruit Knife For Today’s Fruit of Honor

It’s fruit trivia time! Which fruit originated in China 4,000 years ago and is a relative of the peach? Your first guess might be the nectarine, right? It is, in fact, the petite and beloved apricot- a fruit rich in vitamins A & C. It made its way slowly westward from China, through the Mediterranean, and finally over to North America, where it mainly settled in California. California produces 95% of our country’s apricots. Yum!

How do you want to enjoy an apricot today?

  • Grab your fruit knife and cut yourself a fresh slice
  • Make a yummy tart or homemade preserves
  • Have an afternoon snack of dried apricots
  • Use your fruit knife to chop some into your morning granola
  • Plant a tree

How Can American Made Cutlery Help Your Diet Resolution?

As the new year commences, a common topic during this first week is how can we improve our diets in 2020? Maybe cut out processed sugars? Nix the meat and meat byproducts? Or how about just focusing on eating a more balanced diet? Sometimes it’s not about going on an actual “diet” (that label makes it sound temporary and negative)—but by just changing your mindset around food.

During Diet Resolution Week keep these things in mind:

  • Embrace a healthy lifestyle year-round, then it won’t feel like you’re on a “diet.”
  • Cook more for yourself at home- eating out can cause you to overeat or eat something you normally wouldn’t allow yourself to.
  • Plan your meals- every week plan, shop and prep when you have time.
  • Use American Made Cutlery to chop up all of those fresh fruits, veggies and meats that you found at the market

National Homeless Persons’ Remembrance Day

We are in the middle of the coldest time of year throughout the northern hemisphere. Count your blessings if you are one of the lucky ones to have a warm home to return to every evening. Countless homeless people die every year because they don’t have the necessary shelter, food, and resources to survive.
You and your company can bring awareness to this issue by attending a candlelight vigil to remember those homeless in your community who have passed away this year. Have some quality Leatherman tools engraved with #HomelessPersonsRemembranceDay for the whole company. And better yet, order some extras and pass them out at your local homeless shelter to help out future generations.
