Here is my current kitchen favorites list. Happy cooking!
Kid stuff
Shirt Bib – toddlers be messy!
I don’t like traditional high chairs. They take up too much space for me and are hard to clean. I have this. I like that I can throw it in the shower and clean it really well. Just keep it far enough away from the table the your kid can’t push back and fall.
Anything EZPZ
“Sippy cups” we do straws only (I don’t like anything that teaches a skill they won’t use later like biting to get water out. No hard spouts)
Munchkin weighted straw but I remove the weight pretty early so they don’t learn to tip and drink from a straw. I find these leak after a while so I tried these. I like them a lot but you can’t remove the weight without cutting the straw.
Contigo auto spout but G bites them and it breaks the spout part so we switched to these.
Not spill proof but I like these
Coffee Stuff. Trust me, the espresso machine is worth it IF you go to the coffee shop regularly. We spend about $10 every time we go and we went like 2-4 times a week.
Travel mug coffee/tea is hot for the longest time.
Extra Bean Hopper for decaf and lid
Tea pots/cold brew pots
tea pot – Not stove top safe but keeps tea warm
Random kitchen stuff
Blender and food processor. I tried a different band when I broke out last one (totes my fault) and I returned it and got this one.
Instant Pot (I have both… and I totes have used both at the same time) These are also nice when you are cooking for a crowd and your stove isn’t big enough. You can sauté and keep stuff warm for a long time. 6 qt or 8 qt
Griddler with waffle iron plates – awesome for so many things! Use the waffle iron for more than waffles! Great for brownie waffles, scrambled eggs, cornbread waffles, etc
Immersion blender with Food processor. I have an OLD one that doesn’t look like it’s made anymore. This one looks the closest to what I have.
Hand Mixer – I have a hand mixer similar to this
Kitchen Aid Mixer– I just bought one from a neighbor. I love it so far. They are big and expensive so I bought used.
Spiralizer– a neighbor just gave me hers and it looks like this one. I love it for potatoes, zucchini, sweet potatoes. Lots of fun stuff!
Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven – I mean, you can use this for everything.
These mixing bowls are great. I like most of the accessories it came with too.
Scoops. I use these all the time. Muffins, pancakes, waffles, cookies, balls. You can even use them to to measure out servings of rice and such.
