I know there are a lot of fancy cutting boards out there, but like I say, as a mama, I need to stay practical! These are dishwasher safe and colored so you can designate your fish board, your meat board, your veggie board etc. easily. Or if you don’t have time for that, it doesn’t matter- just stick them in the dishwasher and cut whatever you want on them. I just replace them once a year. I have been using them forever, and I will probably never stop.
Have you all seen that TikTok, if it’s not in a pretty cup, I don’t want it? Well this my friends are pretty cups and make your every day coffee like you’re at a 5 star resort drinking in the morning sunshine! Do yourself a favor and level up your dull coffee routine.
Anybody who watches my Instagram stories knows that whenever I use a food processor (no matter how big the job), it’s going to be with this reliable little guy. Do not underestimate the “mini” processor! I refuse to get anything else because it has been doing the job since I got married 11 years ago! I make my chimichurri in this bad boy every time!
We use a LOT of limes. I wanted a cute way to display them and this was my solution! I love how this isn’t just a plain round bowl and looks very natural. You can use it for your other fruit too! I got the LARGE, but there’s a small and medium too.
Decorative Kitchen Bowl
I make my coffee every morning and I froth it up with my handy portable milk frother. It comes with it’s own stand and it dissolves whatever you put in your coffee (like collagen) so smoothly. I love that when I am done, I just have to rinse it and spin it in hot water and it’s ready to be used again!
When my frying pan finally gave out from when I was in college, I needed a new one and I need it fast. I didn’t want to purchase a whole new set, so I came across this one and I still have it and use it today! It’s an excellent non-stick pan that is dishwasher safe and great for cooking rice, stir fry, my rice and beans dishes, mashed potatoes even! It’s a great pan. Can’t recommend it enough.
As a mom of kids who want to help in the kitchen every once in awhile, especially with the pouring, these 3 cups are essential to me! I love that they come in a variety of sizes which also makes my youngest feel like he can comfortably pour with his small hands. Also when one is in the dishwasher, no worries, you have 2 more as a backup!
It’s super important to have good sturdy bakeware. From brownies, to single serving cakes, to pork tenderloins, and fish, I use my PYREX bakeware for about half of my oven-baked recipes. These are dishwasher and oven-safe but easy to clean too. I love that if I make enchiladas or lasagna, I can just store it in the fridge with a lid or take it to a friend’s house without having to worry about how I am going to cover them.
It’s the one baking pan that I have under my oven. I cook everything on here. It’s not something I can live without in the kitchen. I am always lining it with foil or parchment paper depending on what I am cooking. No need to spend a lot on fancy baking or cookie sheets. Again, stay practical. In the end your most practical tools will have served you the most loyally!
I really don’t appreciate how much space a typical metal mesh strainer takes in my dishwasher or my sink after making pasta, so this is a little nifty strainer that adapts to any pot you need to strain liquids from and it can go in the dishwasher. It’s a time and room saver! Yes mine is lime green and it rocks!
I love this pan! I got it just because I needed to make a bunch of tortillas for a party and I ended up using it for eggs and pancakes on the weekends. I really love this pan, especially the non-stick! I never knew how much I needed this until I had it.
This tortilla press saved me when I was throwing a party for a bunch of people and needed to crank out a ton of tortillas fast! It’s a super handy tool! Glad it’s part of my kitchen arsenal now.
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I make a lot of cocktails with a LOT of limes. My hubby got this hand press for me after we saw a similar one at Bar Taco and it’s been a huge HAND saver! I thought I was going to get arthritis! I can juice all my limes easily with this bad boy. It has a special spot on the counter in my kitchen.
