I have decided to leave my Patriotic music up in running and will do so until our Presidential Election. As morale for the American Public is slightly low, I wanted something to help us reflect on what our Founding Fathers based this country on so many years ago. My decision won't be based on words freely spoke, but on actions that deserve my vote. I will vote based on the Love of my country as well as it's people and for those who freely fight to keep me safe. While I don't enjoy war with anyone, including the innocent, I also want to be sure those who are fighting for my freedom and their families are kept safe. Thats where my vote and that of other Americans is most important. Please Join me in prayer for my country as we embark on hard decisions and fight for the freedoms and privledges set by our Founding Fathers and fought so bravely over the years by American Soldiers. I pray also for friends and family of other soldiers from other countries who also fight for the freedoms of their countries. In God may we ALL trust! Love to each and every one of you no matter what country your from. ~Rebekah
*** Reynolds Handi-Vac Review ***

Posted in Recipes From the Kitchen
I've had this little machine since Christmas and just started using it right now. I don't have a regular vacuum sealer because of the expense. However, I must say I'm quite pleased with our little Handi Vac. It removes MOST if not all of the air in the bags and saves meats, veggies and other parishables for longer than it would with just a regular freezer bag.
No, it doesn't have the power or suction that a regular vaccuum press has, and if you have more than 2 or or 4 people in your family you may want to splurge on the regular machine, but I think this little bugger works great for only 10 bucks!
I've heard stories about suction problems, but the trick to it is making sure the is no food near the suction site on the bag, once your little vac is pressed securely to the bag, you will get the final outcome desired.
So all in all I'd give this little machine an 8 out of 10. It's not the Rolls Royce, but it gets the little jobs done and saves money in the long run if you compress your foods to save shelf life.
Check out how The Handi-Vac works HERE. You can buy one at most of your local grocery and retail stores along with gallon and Quart size bags which usually run around $3.29 depending on your area.

Great to know! I have been interested in a vacuum sealer, but not their price. I just may give the little gadget a try. Thanks.

Thanks for the review. I've always wanted a vacuum sealer but never got one...$$$ I'd wondered about the performace of this one and if it was worth it because of the cost of the bags.

We got one probably right after Christmas too. We like it just fine. I thought I could wash out the bags and reuse them, however they seem to get moisture up in the double part where they seal. Have you tried that with any success?
