Last year, my mother came up to me and asked if I wanted to go with her and buy my grandmother, her mom, a gift for Mother’s Day. “Insurance!” I thought. My mom suggested a kitchen cart and I agreed that it was a perfect idea. I have many memories of my grandmother in the kitchen, baking and cooking and having fun. She warmly welcomed our gift into her routine and quickly found many uses for it.
Kitchen carts are available at various specialty appliance and home décor stores. You can also search online for those unique kitchen carts that can’t be found anywhere else. They can be priced to suit everyone’s budget, whether you have a large amount to spend or are looking for a large amount to save.
They are extremely versatile and functional in every kitchen. They come in many different styles and can easily fit in a corner or serve as an island. They can be built of strong wood. Some prefer stainless steel models for their contemporary appearance and ease of cleaning.
You can prepare food on a kitchen cart. Many even come with a stainless steel or butcher block on top to add to this idea. You can easily store knives or other utensils in the additional drawers of the cart. Many also come with additional shelves and cabinets below, serving as perfect spots for your bowls, recipe books, or decorative storage canisters.
Some people double their kitchen cart as a microwave stand to save space. This also works fine. If you’d rather not use it this way, consider placing a decorative fruit bowl on top when not in use.
Another option for you is to use your cart as a serving stand. For example, when hosting a dinner party, consider using your cart as a salad bar and stack your leafy greens, vegetables, dressings, and dressings on top. So it can be easily stored after the meal. Perhaps at a child’s birthday party, your cart can serve as an ice cream station. Simply load the cart with treats, roll it to the table, serve the kids to whoops of delight, and then roll it out of sight.
Perhaps the best idea that involves using one as a serving stand is to make a special Mother’s Day breakfast. Surprise that wonderful woman in your life with breakfast in bed. She prepares a tasty meal, serves it on nice plates, and brings the cart to the bedroom. This is also the perfect time to surprise her with the gift of a new kitchen cart, and she’ll appreciate it right away.
Giving my grandmother a kitchen cart for Mother’s Day was a great idea. She immediately appreciated the versatility and usefulness of it. I think this year it will be my mother’s turn to receive this wonderful kitchen accessory. This year, if you’re wondering how to show her mom how much she’s appreciated, consider finding a kitchen cart that fits your kitchen and her cooking needs.
