Culinary Ambition

You watch Food Network. You host “Chopped” parties with your neighbors. You’re the ultimate “Iron Chef” fan (‘Allez cuisine!’). The kitchen is your domain. Slicing, dicing, measuring and sauteing is your bread and butter. You don’t just slap together the occasional meatloaf or PB&J sandwich; you create masterpieces.

You find a good recipe and then tweak it to perfection.

KitchenAid refrigerator
The best ingredients (for the best buys) are the foundation of every culinary masterpiece. But sometimes life gets in the way and you can’t use your ingredients for days, or even a week or more. You don’t sweat it, though. Your #KitchenAid refrigerator is fresh like no other. It has five doors and the FreshFlow Air Filter minimizes odors while two Produce Preservers help delay over-ripening. You never worry about throwing food away.






You also trust your cooking to #KitchenAid. This is the oven that sparks your creativity. Your
Electric Convection Range
electric convection range has five (such a wonderful number, isn’t it?) heating surfaces, including a dedicated warming zone. No worries if the family is late getting home; dinner will be warm when they arrive. The electric oven produces flawless cooking results with Even-Heat True Convection. The fan ensures the inside of the entire oven is heated to, and stays at, the perfect temperature. You have an oven thermometer, but why bother with it now?

Dynamic Wash Arms
After the meal is done you hand off the responsibility of cleaning to your dishwasher. This beautiful top control dishwasher from #KitchenAId harnesses the power of the Dynamic Wash Arms to provide complete water coverage and superior cleaning. The unique design has nine arms that spray water everywhere in the dishwasher, even the hardest to reach places.

Now that the meal is complete, from soup to nuts, it’s time to relax. Anybody up for a few episodes of “Good Eats” on Netflix?





Whether you have a revolutionary new kitchen from #KitchenAid, save up to $4,300 on top-rated appliances with #Jenn-Air, crank up your kitchen with #Frigidaire or take advantage of one of the #GE profile series kitchen packages, you’re a winner, winner, chicken dinner.

A Tale of Three Washers

Forgot a Sock

The laundry is in the washer, the dishwasher running and the kids are doing homework. You’re about to leave when you hear “Mo-oo-om! I forgot something!”

Your little darling runs up holding a tiny white sock. You take it, tell them it’s nothing to worry about and make a quick detour to the laundry room.

Samsung AddWash
With the washing machine still running you open the #AddWash door and toss the sock inside. The door on the front of the washer allows you to conveniently add in any forgotten garments after the wash cycle begins. With #AddWash you can have the machine on, open the door and pop in more clothes. Most front load washers have an hour-long cycle, but #Samsung has groundbreaking SuperSpeed technology that completes a cycle in 30 minutes.

The combination of AddWash™, large capacity and SuperSpeed saves you time and energy.

Refreshed and Wrinkle-free

You’re hosting a party tonight; having a few friends over for dinner and drinks. Your wonderful husband is handling the food. Such a sweetheart! You’ve cleaned and decorated, and now take a gander at your dress for the evening. It’s wrinkled! How did this happen?

Regardless of how it happened, you need to fix it before the party begins. After a quick
Electrolux Perfect Steam
wash, your #Electrolux front-load Perfect Steam™ electric dryer is well-equipped to handle this task while you finish party preparations. The Perfect Steam™ wrinkle release option gently erases wrinkles and reduces static to keep clothes looking their best. And you’re not the least bit worried about the dryer finishing if you step out for a moment because the extended tumble option gently tumbles clothes without heat to keep them tangle-free, which is perfect for when you can’t remove clothes right away.

A short while later you remove your dress. It smells like a warm summer evening and there’s not a wrinkle in sight. You slip it on as your husband returns with the food and begins to cook. Your guests arrive shortly after and you greet them gracefully. No one is the wiser about your previously wrinkled dress.

Smart Appliances

6th Sense Live Technology
A friend confides she too did some last-minute laundry prior to the party. Her #Whirlpool has her favorite feature -- 6th Sense Live™ technology. It provides her constant contact via text, email or the 6th Sense Live smartphone app. It alerts her to potential problems and notifies her of progress of the machine’s daily functions.


Is there anything these wonderful appliances can’t do? Fortunately, they handle all the heavy lifting so you can devote time to the finer and more enjoyable things in life, like good friends and a good meal.

Dishwasher Wars

how to load the dishwasher

Another dinner finished. Everyone has full bellies, happy faces and empty plates. Your significant other offers to put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher and you happily accept.

Some time passes. You notice a glass on the table and bring it to the open dishwasher. That’s when you see it. Everything is all wrong! Plates aren’t in the right spot, silverware is facing the wrong direction and things that should be on the bottom are on the top rack. Your significant other sees you looking at the dishwasher and shrugs. Doesn’t matter where they are, they’ll all get clean, right?

Wrong. Then the fight begins.




















If this scenario sounds all too familiar, don’t blame your significant other or their good intentions. The solution isn’t fighting over what goes where; the solution is a more efficient dishwasher.

3 Ways to Naturally Remove Stains

natural stain removal

Summer provides additional opportunities for dirty clothes — stains from mud, dirt, grass and food — but let’s be realistic. Stains happen 24/7, 365 days a year. Stains don’t know which season it is or how little time you have, or may not have, to treat them. When stains happen, you need a handy set of tips and tricks to combat them.

1.         Act now
            The first tool in your stain-fighting arsenal is time. Treat stains quickly because the two things which makes stains permanent is time and heat. It’s not always realistic to drop everything to clean a stain. But at least wash out the stain quickly and then let the clothing sit in salt water until you can return to it later. The salt naturally starts to break down the stain and keeps the fabric from drying out. Make sure you completely remove the stain before drying the fabric.

2.            Vinegar is your best friend
            Vinegar works well on most stains. Simply rinse the stain; then soak in vinegar and water. Like magic — presto! — the stain disappears.
            If you have a protein stain, such as blood, eggs or meat juices, you’ll use a different method. Rinse the stain in a lot of cold water. Sometimes this removes the stain and you don’t need to go past this step. If it’s a stubborn stain, soak the clothing in cold salt water. Do not use hot water as it will set the stain into the clothing. After soaking, rub with a mild soap and rinse again in cold water. Launder as usual once the stain is gone.

3.            You’re very own DIY stain remover
            Lemons are pleasant in iced tea or water. They also have tremendous stain-fighting power. Lemon essential oil works as a natural stain remover. It can corrode plastic, so keep your mixture in a glass spray bottle. Here’s a simple and effective recipe:

  • 1 cup vinegar
  • 10 drops lemon essential oil
To use: Combine vinegar and lemon essential oil in a glass spray bottle. Spray onto stain, soak and wash as usual.

There you have it! Easy and natural tips to keep stains from ruining your clothes — or your day.

Summer time is laundry time

West Coast Appliance and Furniture, need washing machine


Kids love summer. No school, no homework — just lots of time to play baseball, soccer and kickball.

Parents on the other hand? They like outdoor activities as much as the kids, but parents are all too aware of the double-edged sword of the outdoors. For every play date, baseball game or trip to the sandbox, there’s dirt. And lots of it. Dirt, sand, mud and grass mean clothes and sports uniforms need to be washed regularly to keep up with the flurry of activities.

Need washing machine for dirty clothes


An extra long pour of detergent usually gets everything clean. Usually. But lately the washing machine isn't cutting it. You need a machine with more stamina; with quick wash, more cycles and more choices. Time to take action. 

The new Electrolux laundry duo has a washing machine and dryer which cleans clothes thoroughly. The SmartBoost technology premixes water and detergent, making a cold-water wash as effective as a hot one. You'll have a deep clean that removes stains in all cycles. With a fast wash time and large capacity, you spend less time doing laundry and more time with the family. The dryer dries clothes faster (and quieter) than before.

It’s going to be a good summer.
