The Ninja Professional Frying System: Review
The Ninja Professional Frying System allows you to prepare your favorite fried dishes with 30% less fat and 40% faster due to its revolutionary heat combination that keeps cooking oil at a uniform temperature, so foods cook to light, crispy perfection with less oil absorption. Ninja’s patent-pending basket lid keeps food fully submerged in oil so food is cooked evenly through without having to be flipped or turned in the fryer.
The Ninja Professional Frying System ($99 MSRP) features:
Removable enamel oil reservoir, an easy-to-empty oil spout and the lid/oil reservoir are dishwasher safe. Equipped with Cool Zone Technology that keeps oil cleaner for a longer period of time.
Additional features include:
-Lid with large window for easy viewing
-Easy-grip basket handle
-Cool-touch exterior
-Powerful 1800 watts
-3 liter capacity (cooks up to 3.2 lbs. of food)
-Includes delicious recipes
-Digital LCD timer and display
You can also learn more about The Ninja Professional Frying System on Facebook and @NinjaKitchen on Twitter.
Even though I watch how much of fried foods I eat I had to give this a try. So far I have kept it a gluten free only fryer but since I don't eat a lot of fried foods, it may become a gluten fryer because Mr. LOVES his french toast fried and is begging to make it in this! I know he'd also love some jalapeno poppers fried too.
So far I have made gluten free apple fritters, gluten free churros and of course honey walnut shrimp. The churros were the first to be fried so I was still getting used to how the fryer works. The temp and timer are digital and I learned to just keep the oil hot at 375' for most foods. My churros took forever because I had to the temp too low (see video). Next time I had the temp up and my fritters cooked more quickly. One thing I did notice, is they have you lay the food in the basket then lower it into the oil, but my fritter cooked into the basket holes and were hard to remove lol, so I found just adding the food carefully (with tongs) into the basket/oil made it easier.
The oil heats up quickly and will beep when ready to fry. The fryer basket is a nice size and can hold quite a bit of food. Foods cooked in about 4-7 minutes and came out so golden, crispy and just delicious! Mr. LOVED the shrimp.
This fryer is perfect counter top size and didn't take up much space at all. I kept it out the whole time I reviewed it (over a month or two) because I knew the oil was still good to use (but I tossed it out after the shrimp). I really like this fryer, the basket lid keeps the foods IN the oil allowing the foods to cook quickly and even. I loved the large fryer lid which helped eliminate any dangerous splatters.
This is defiantly one of the funnest kitchen gadgets I have and I know we'll be enjoying more fried foods with this!
Come see our quick little video making gluten free churros!

Family-Friendly Summer Activities at San Diego Children's Discover Museum
Hey San Diegans, So Cal and out of town visitors! Here's a great activity to check out when visiting or passing through North County!
San Diego Children’s Discovery Museum (SDCDM) is planning an exciting summer season for families. Now in its second year at the new facility (320 N. Broadway, Escondido, CA 92025) the museum has a new array of on-site activities, programs, and promotions that make SDCDM a top destination for families all summer long. Locals and visitors alike are encouraged to visit and experience the museum’s wide variety of new attractions starting this June.
New! Open Mondays and Increased Hours
As of June 1st, the SDCDM will be open seven days a week (no longer closed on Mondays), and increase the hours from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily.
Active Military & Veterans Get FREE Admission this Summer
From Memorial Day to Labor Day, SDCDM will be participating in the Blue Star Museums campaign—a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, The Department of Defense and more than 1,800 museums across America—to offer free admission to all active duty military personnel and their families. SDCDM is also offering free admission to all U.S. Military veterans and their families as a way to say thank you for their service to our country.
Summer Discovery Camp for Ages 5-8
Summer Discovery Camp will take place at SDCDM from June 17th through August 16th, allowing kids from age 5-8 opportunities to learn about science, arts, and world cultures outside of the classroom. This summer’s themes range from Imagination Creations, where campers explore work from famous artists and discover how creative you can be using different mediums, to Grossology, where campers explore the chemistry, biology, and environmental science behind all things “gross.” The cost for Discovery Camp is $175 per week for SDCDM members and $250 for non-members. For a full list of Discovery Camp themes and to register visit www.sdcdm.org.
KPBS Kids Workshops
Throughout the summer SDCDM will host a KPBS Kids Workshop from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. which will include engaging hands-on activities for children ages 3 and up to explore the many worlds of favorite childhood characters like Curious George, Cat in the Hat, Clifford and many more! Workshops and activities will take place at 10:15 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. and will last approximately a half hour to 45 minutes. KPBS Kids Workshop will take place June 8th, July 13th, and August 10th.
Beat the Summer Heat Inside or Outside
For families looking for a cool way to beat the summer heat, SDCDM invites them to its air-conditioned indoor exhibit area featuring exhibits such as wind tunnels showing kids how wind energy works, Kids Global Village encouraging children to learn about daily life in different cultures, building with Imagination Playground, early childhood development activities in the Toddler Tide Pool, and endless journeys of imagination on the Explorer Discovery Sailboat. Families can also play, relax, picnic, and enjoy the outdoors in the Children’s Discovery Garden.

I was offered complimentary tickets for my family to visit the San Diego Children’s Discovery Museum this summer, once we get settled into our new place. We are excited because it'll be close by. Please be sure to watch my instagram for photos of our visit. (I will repost some here as well)
SDCDM was founded as a non-profit organization in 2001 as Escondido Children's Museum, with the focus of learning through play and inspiring children from newborn to age 12 to learn about our world through exploration, imagination and experimentation. Admission costs at the new location are $6 per person, $3 for military and disabled and free for children 12 months and younger. Memberships, group discounts, birthday parties and spring and summer camps are available. San Diego Children's Discovery Museum is affiliated with the Association of Children's Museums.

she was so excited to have a big box of SeaSnax!
We were went SeaSnax flavors of Classic Olive, Toasty Onion, Wasabi, and Chipotle. We were also sent SeaSprinkles (shreds of seaweed) in Original Toasty Coconut and Vegan Cheese flavors. Coming out in June they will have SeaSprinkles in Toasty Coconut and Vegan Cheese flavors ready for sale. My youngest ones loved them. Myself, sorry to say I wasn't as big of a fan as they are, maybe if it was rolled with some veggies & rice. I just can't do them as is. I am happy they loved them, I am now asked to add them to their lunch boxes and they get so excited.
