With your little friend behind the wheel and you at the controls, you’re on the fast track to tons of free-wheeling fun.

****Strawberry Shortcake has become very popular in my house, we have all the friends, the house and so much more. My daughters were thrilled to play with the Rc car. The best part they said was not having to move the car themselves. They were a little disappointed that they could not fit all the friends inside the car.

With the press of a button, Barbie’s bodice magically lights up and is synchronized to music from the movie’s fashion show finale. To transform the dress, fold down the top of princess dress and flip/turn skirt around to reveal the party couture dress.

Holiday Gift Guide 2010: Cusinart deep fryer

Product Description: Cuisinart presents a deep fryer that takes up less counter space. Designed to fry batches up to 3/4 of a pound in just 1.1 litter of oil, this is great deep fryer even for spur-of-the-moment snacks and meals. The compact design allows creative cooks to prepare fried calamari to top a salad, and moms to fry up mozzarella sticks for kids. Temperatures up to 375F and a die-cast frying bowl maintain selected oil temperatures for restaurant-quality results. Easy to use, easy to clean, and simple to store, it could make deep frying an everyday event!

**** I know frying food is not very healthy, but after living in the south it’s something hard to deter away from.  Specially since my husband introduced me to Buffalo style chicken finger subs, which are so delicious.  When you bake french fries or chicken strips in the oven it doesn’t taste the same as frying them. The Cusinart deep fryer is very small so it will fit anywhere in your kitchen.  It helps with portion sizes since it only fits 3/4 pounds of food.

Retail: $90.00 but you can get it on Amazon for $49.94
