I’m no chef (except for my toddler), so I’ll use whatever I can to make food prep easy. This list is full of different kitchen gadgets, gizmos, and appliances any amateur chef can use!

Coffee is life ☕️
What more is there to say? I love coffee and these are the things that have made my coffee dreams come true!
I LOVE my Nespresso, but let’s be real, those pods are not cheap to buy even a month or 2 worth of coffee! These silicone lids are a game changer! They only worked in my machine with any regular Nespresso pod. I pulled a few used pods out of my machi...
SWEETDEER Reusable Lids & Pods for Nespresso
This is the second Nespresso machine I’ve had (first one broke after 3-4 years of use). I love that Nespresso measures the water for you and this one warms up very quickly.
Nespresso Vertuo Plus Coffee & Espresso Maker
I’ve had this bad boy for almost 6 years. There are newer styles also pictured but mine is the first picture. I can use a k-cup pod or whatever ground coffee. The pot is programmable so you can set it to brew for you the next morning!
Hamilton Beach FlexBrew Trio 2-Way Coffee Maker
Works great and has held up for quite a few years!
Permanent Basket Coffee Filter for Mr. Coffee 10-12 Cup
This travel mug is solid. The lid alone is my favorite part. Such a minor convenience to be able to drink out of any side of this mug.

DRINK YOUR WATER. It fixes so much more than you think!
I am a big water drinker but sometimes I want something with flavor. Taking a step to being healthier and not drink pop (as much) I bought one of these. I have loved it, picking the level of flavor I want is great and I can turn the flavor off and ju...
Cirkul 32oz Chameleon SS Bottle Kit Green Lid
I know…but they truly hold up to the hype!! Very sturdy and leak proof!
Hydroflask Insulated & Stainless Steel Water Bottles
My toddler loves this water bottle. He learned how to open and close the lid by himself. His water stays cold, and it truly doesn’t leak when closed. When open a few drops can come out of the drinking spout but no major spills!
Bentgo Kids Stainless Steel Insulated Bottle 14oz
If you love a good schedule and need to hydrate, this bottle is for you! A few of my friends have used these to keep themselves accountable and loved it
Water Bottle With Time Marker
One of my favorite multipacks for the Cirkul water bottle!
Like I said, I am not a chef and hardly like cooking. I like to make food prep and cooking as easy as possible! This list contains affiliate links. I may earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you) if you purchase through them.
You can use this in a microwave!! Yes it is great for cooking in the oven, but it is also good for microwave cooking!
Deep Covered Baker
I love this chopper. Chop, slice, dice, grate, and separate. So easy and contains the food!
Pro-Series 16-in-1 Food & Veggie Chopper
Great for grapes, blackberries, cherry tomatoes, and firm blueberries. So quick and easy.
Fruit & Veggie Cutter for Kids - Grape Slicer
Easy veggie steamer! Great for a last minute meal decision or making a small amount at a time.
PrepSolutions Mini Microwave Steamer, Gray
Small kitchen organization
My husband and I have never had a lot of kitchen space/storage wherever we have lived. We have never had a built in pantry either so we have learned a thing or two about organizing the kitchen!
The best find ever. No more looking for lids that have fallen to the back of the cabinet somewhere behind all the other containers.
Expandable Food Container Lid Organizer with Tall Dividers
We utilized this in the kitchen to fit in a gap between the counters and our fridge. It was also a good way to block the cats and their toys from getting in that gap. Good for pot holders, seasonings, long cooking utensils.
Slim Storage Cart 4-Tier with wheels
PLEASE MEASURE YOUR SPACE BEFORE ORDERING. Our drawer is very tiny but this has fit fine for that use. We did have to play around with where each silverware sat so the handles didn't poke out to high and prevent to drawer from opening or closing.
Silverware Organizer Storage Tray - Expandable
We just love that you can get paper towels with one hand. Very sturdy and stays in place
Paper Towel Holder, One-Handed Tear, Stainless Steel
