Beautiful and Fun Kitchen Aprons

Today, we'll examine the function of kitchen aprons and why you should add one or two to your kitchen experience. 

I enjoy coordinating my aprons with my wardrobe.  Aprons are a fun fashion I am hooked on. I think you will be, too, once you enjoy the thrill of wearing one. Aprons are more than just functional; they are fashionable.  I wear them anytime I cook, wash dishes, or clean.

I'll never forget the first time I was seen in an apron while going to the mailbox in my new neighborhood.  I'm notorious for wearing my aprons outside the house. It's like when I was little and didn't want to take off my dress-up clothes.  If I'm in the kitchen cooking in my apron, I frequently step outside to check on the kids or pick up the mail when it arrives.  I can be spotted surprising one of my neighbors with fresh, warm brownies while wearing an apron.

After being spotted in my apron, neighbors started asking me about them. Where do you get them? Can I borrow one?  To that, I said, 'No, get your own,' and proceeded to guide them on where to obtain some for themselves.  

I was amazed at how excited the others were about the entire concept of wearing an apron.  I suppose not everyone had a Grandma like mine to pass down this fine practice.  As it turns out, the image of me in my apron struck a nerve with our neighborhood; now, men and women alike on my street can be spotted wearing their aprons.  I'm just waiting for warm brownies to arrive at my doorstep now!

I have two daughters who have loved cooking since they were toddlers. Cooking is a fun science that kids can enjoy by experiencing the results of their culinary creations.

My daughters wanted aprons for themselves as soon as they could form the words. The three of us enjoy cooking and like dressing up; cooking is even more fun with kitchen aprons. 

Aprons help to maintain a clean cooking environment. Children and adults could have something on their clothes that you do not want to get into their food.

It's unlikely that kids, or even us adults, will wear clothes free of hair, dust, and other contaminants from fun playtime. It's so easy to slip into a clean, fresh apron to keep the dishes you make with your kids safe, fun, and yummy!

Anytime you have guests over to eat, regardless of the occasion, it's impressive to wear an apron.  Your guest get the feeling they're special and that you're going the extra mile on their behalf.  The best way to impress someone is to first be impressed by them.  Anytime you wear an apron for your dinner guests, you're saying you're important and impressive. They will, in turn, be impressed with you and be all the more thrilled with your menu and cooking skills.

My Grandmother always said, "Pick your apron based on your cooking skills; if you lack great cooking talent, be certain to wear a really nice apron". Full disclosure, she said that for my benefit, as I am not a very good cook nor have I ever been, but I like to try.  It does make a difference. You don't have to cook on a Julia Child's level to enjoy a feel-good apron.

She, My Grandmother, went on to explain that anytime you get dressed to impress for a date, a job, or the like, you feel better and do better when looking your best.  The same applies to cooking; the better the apron, the better your food will be, as you feel more confident.

I love aprons and have enjoyed sharing with you today my love for aprons and the reasons behind it. I'm sure my Grandmother will approve.
