I always get asked for my favorite and essential kitchen items and here they are. All of these things I currently have in my kitchen and use all the time. I wouldn’t be sharing them if I didn’t.

I may earn commissions for purchases made through links on this post.

Let’s start with affordable and small stocking stuffers!

 

COOKING THERMOMETER – I use this all the time. It takes the guess work out of cooking meat and makes making fudge so much easier!

SCOOP – I have these in all different sizes. I use them to scoop cookie dough and the bigger one for ice cream.

TONGS – I cook and entertain a ton. The long tongs are great for salads and cooking bacon. The small tongs are great for serving anything for a crowd.

FROTHER – I use this frother for hot chocolate and for green drinks!

GREEN PANS – We’ve switched over to these non-toxic pans about two years ago and they have lasted well.

CHOPPER – I use this for everything! It makes recipes so much easier.

KITCHEN AID – I have this exact mixer and it matches my house. I had a black one for over 20 years before it bit the dust.

EXTRA LARGE SHEET PAN – So many of my sheet pan dinners are made on this pan and the bigger the better so the veggies have room to roast.

CUP CAROUSEL – I use this when I entertain for paper cups.

CONTAINERS – I keep my flour, sugar, and brown sugar in these containers and it keeps them fresh.

MEAT CHOPPER – I use this five times a week. It makes browning meat so much easier and into smaller pieces.

CHOCOLATE MOONSHINE – I’ve had a lot of fudge and this is the best fudge I’ve ever had. Their name comes from the fact that is is so good it should be illegal (like moonshine was back in the day). I bought some for all of my sisters this year for Christmas. They gave me a code to share with you! Use “THEGIRL10”

SCRUMPTIOUS – Is my cookbook that I’m so proud of. It has tons of dinner ideas!

Taste Better From Scratch Cookbook – I have many talented friends that have written cookbooks, but this one is exceptionally done. Tried and tested recipes.

CROCKPOT – This is the crockpot I own and love it. It has a warm setting that is goes to when cook time is done.

ROAM – This is how much I love music. I will not cook without it. Just ask my family. This is what I use.
