Last night, I went over to Amazon to look at the Amazon Prime deals going on for Amazon Prime Days.

I went specifically to look for school items I buy for the classroom every year such as disinfecting wipes, Post-it flags, and dry erase markers. I did find those, but I also saw many great kitchen deals. And since today is the last day to get these deals, I thought I would share my finds with you! Now remember, the prices will be different than what is shown below if you have a Prime membership. You would have to click over to Amazon and be logged into your prime account to see the real price. Then on Wednesday, the deals are over, and the price goes up!

Here are some kitchen items I was interested in:

• I want to eventually change out my plastic storage dishes for glass dishes, so I liked the following prime deals:
  • 10 Packs Glass Food Storage Container with Lids
  • 5-Packs, 30 Oz Glass Meal Prep Containers with Lifetime Lasting Snap Locking Lids Glass Food Containers
  • 10 Pack, 22 Oz Glass Meal Prep Containers, Glass Food Storage Containers with lids
• I want to eat healthier, and so I bought this Rubbermaid Freshworks Produce Saver Food Storage Container that is supposed to keep your fruits and vegetables stay fresh longer.

Here are some other great kitchen deals that I did not need at this time, but the prices are phenomenal! Some of them are over half off!

• Ninja Professional 72oz Countertop Blender with 1000-Watt Base and Total Crushing Technology — awesome deal!
• Rubbermaid Commercial Products Stainless Steel Instant Read Oven/Grill/Smoker Monitoring Thermometer — my prime said I would also save an additional 20% off at checkout.
• If you want a steamer basket for your instant cooker, than snatch up this deal. (Hatrigo Steamer Basket for Pressure Cooker Accessories 6qt) The 3 quart and the 8 quart baskets are also on a deep discount.
• If you’re into smoothies and are on the go all the time, than this personal smoothie blender is for you! (Personal Smoothie Blender,DOUHE Cordless Portable Blender Rechargeable USB Juicer Mixer Mini Blender Small Blender)
• Some of my friends love their French Press Coffee Makers, but since I am not into coffee, I am not getting one. But if you want one, check out this deal: Veken French Press Coffee Maker (8 cups, 34 oz)
• If you have a Kitchenaid Stand Mixer, and you would like to grind your own meat, then buy the food grinder attachment now.
• Need some steak knives? These have 20 reviews and all of them are 5 star reviews. They are 80% off right now.
• I didn’t even know a cool gadget like this existed. It is a handheld mini heat bag sealer so that you can easily reseal open bags of chips or candy bars. (KARIDGE Mini Handheld Heat Bag Sealer for Airtight Food Storage Saver) There’s a coupon for an additional 5% off too.
• If you have an Instant Pot, but not all the accessories, then here’s a 13 piece set that is 40% off.
• Here’s a heavy duty, commercial style cooling rack that is marked down for prime day.
• I want these!!! I use mason jars all the time, so I could use these plastic lids. I’m going to put them on my Christmas wish list. They are marked down some right now.
• This Pan Organizer Rack with 3 DIY Methods is pretty cool. I wonder if it would fit in my cabinet?
• Have you used a Nonstick Oven Liner for Bottom of Electric, Gas, Toaster & Microwave Ovens? I am so tempted to buy this, but I know I would have to put it on my bottom rack of my electric oven, and I use the rack a lot so I don’t know if I should. I hate cleaning my oven!

This Chocolate Zucchini Cake is amazing! Rich, chocolatey goodness abounds in this easy-to-make cake.

It also includes 2 cups of zucchini, so you can pride yourself on having a vegetable when you eat this cake. Once the cake bakes, you would never know there is any zucchini in it!

I used to make this cake in the summer as I would grow zucchini my garden. Since moving to Florida with our sand soil and our hot weather, I haven’t grown my garden, so I haven’t made this cake. It’s a great cake though especially paired with a soft chocolate frosting or a cream cheese frosting.

Next week, I’ll share the recipe for the Soft Chocolate Frosting I used with this cake. You can go HERE to get the recipe for the Cream Cheese Frosting.

Many of you know I was rear-ended back in January which caused a torn tendon in my shoulder, which ended up with me having a rotator cuff surgery five weeks ago.

Therefore, the need to be able to make meals with one hand.

I am so thankful that I had about 3 weeks of meals given to me by my wonderful church. But even that fourth week, I couldn’t do that much with my left arm still. This week I am able to finally not wear my sling all the time, which frees me up to be able to do more.

Here are some of the meals I made with one hand:

• Rice Pilaf with Chicken — My kids loved this meal. I had a couple of boxes of Rice Pilaf from Aldi, but Rice A Roni has a rice mix that is similar. I already had some cooked, cubed chicken in my freezer. I added it to the rice, and my main meal was done!

• I also made this Ham Noodle Casserole. I again had some diced ham in the freezer, and I had one of my daughters dice up the cheese. Even if you have no help, it would probably be a meal you can do with one hand if you had some ham prepped ahead of time like I did.

• This Easy Rice, Tuna Fish, and Egg Dish is so easy!! Hard boil some eggs, cook up some rice, and open a couple of tuna — in oil — and you have yourself a main dish!

• This Easy 5-Ingredient Crockpot Meatloaf Recipe can also be done with one hand!

• Our family loves Mostaccioli Alfredo. We actually haven’t made it since my surgery, but I had bought canned chicken and the ingredients so that we could make it. As long as there is prepped chicken, the rest of the meal can be done with one hand.

With the help of my older girls, all the meals from our church, and the meals I had in my freezer, we certainly have not gone hungry. However, it was nice to know that I could still cook a few meals with one hand!

My mom used to make this ribbon jello for the Fourth of July, but it really can be made at any time!

The jello in the bowl pictured below that has the green jello layer I made for Christmas one year.

What’s so nice about Ribbon Jello is how adaptable it is.

Not only can you change up the colors, you can easily make the recipe as big as you want it, and you can add different kinds of fruit to the jello. You can see that I added blueberries and strawberries to both jellos.

The basic recipe is below. For the Ribbon Jello that was in the bowl, I halved the ingredients that make the white layer, and I did only 3 jello colors: blue, green, and red. For the Fourth of July Ribbon Jello, I did 2 boxes of blue jello and 2 boxes of red jello along with a full recipe of the white layer. I put that in a 13″ x 9″ glass dish.
