Do you enjoy kitchen stores?  My mom and I love browsing in a kitchen store and nearly always find something fun to buy.  When we were at the beach this past weekend we took a break from spring cleaning to browse at a favorite beach kitchen store.  I spotted a Snapi server and couldn’t resist buying it for only $6.00.  I love the claw shape and how easily food is served with it.  I plan to use this gadget a lot this summer when we entertain on our patio or at the lake.

(This is not a paid promotion, I like this product.  The link above is an Amazon Affiliate link and I will get a small commission if you purchase a Snapi.)

The Snapi makes it easy to grab a generous portion of a yummy dish like this slaw.  I am anxious to try this gadget with pasta because its always so hard to serve with tongs.

 

I have a feeling that the Snapi will be a conversation starter when guests see it in the bowl.  I think it looks like a crab!

 

I made a chicken for dinner the other night and served Peanutty Slaw with it.  This slaw has a bit of a kick and we really liked it.  The recipe is one that I clipped from Southern Living’s June 2008 issue.
