Kitchen Tools
These are some of my must have kitchen tools and gadgets.
An Ice Cream Maker! The Cuisinart allows for larger batches for sharing, the Ninja is great for smaller quantities, and the Dash is ideal for perfect portioning!
Electric Pressure Cooker! This tool scared me at first, but now it gets used almost daily. It’s perfect for when you forget to thaw meat. It can cook a frozen roast in just a couple of hours! It can be used as a slow cooker. It can be used as a rice cooker. It makes the easiest to peel hard boiled eggs. You can even bake in it and make your own yogurt! The newer models, like the one below, even air fry!
Kitchen Aid Mixer with accessories! I love my mixer! My in-laws purchased it for me two decades ago and it’s still going strong! They even purchased some accessories for me, but I didn’t use them until recently. What was I thinking?!!! The meat grinder attachment saves me a fortune because I can quickly and easily make my own ground chicken breast at $2.48/pound instead of paying $6.99/pound or higher!
Gadgets and Tools! These smaller gadgets and tools just make life easier.
Other Must Have Appliances! The Ninja food chopper is a gadget I didn’t know that I needed. My mom bought one for me and I almost took it back to the store. I’m so glad that I didn’t, because it is one of my most used little appliances!
The Vitamix blender takes smoothie making to a whole new level! It also turns cottage cheese and frozen fruit into the most delightful soft serve frozen treat! My current favorite use if for homemade pecan butter!
Keurig! Another gift I didn’t know I needed, but that gets tremendous use. Coffee, tea and other beverages are so easy! There is a Keurig for every budget and space.
Waffle Maker! Protein waffles are a staple in my house, so a good waffle maker is a must! I’ve had one like this for at least a decade!
Getting Active
I love to hike and proper gear is a must! These are some of my favorite things that I always have on trail with me! You can also get the Built Bars directly from Built and get a discount using promo code MORE2US. The salted caramel are my favorite!
Off the trail, here are some other fitness essentials.
