Appliances
My husband and I have lots of appliances in our kitchen that we use regularly to make a variety of meals. Here are the ones we absolutely love!
This was a housewarming gift for us when we moved in together. This slow cooker has lots of different cooking options so it’s a step up from a traditional crock pot.

This is a new toy for us and we have been loving it. It is definitely worth the investment!

My husband loves to be outdoors and cook for our little family. These recs are his favorites to cook some delicious foods!
If you love smoked foods just as much as us, we use this at least once a week. It is so versatile and is beginner-friendly!

When it's nice outside, we prefer to use our Blackstone over cooking inside. Just like a smoker, you can cook so much on here, and it's easy to clean up!

Cleaning the grill can be a daunting task, but since my husband has discovered this brush, it has made scrubbing the grill so much easier and quicker.

Scour pads are great for quick clean-ups outside. Scrub daddies have been a lifesaver for us!

You will need bucket liners if you have a smoker. It's better to get them in packs, so you always have some on hand!

Utensils
Every kitchen needs an array of utensils that make cooking just a little bit easier!
We don't use this very often, but they're great to have around. We recommend using them for smashburgers!

You should always have a meat thermometer in the kitchen! We like this one because it is waterproof and magnetic.

We use this frother to make cold foam for coffee and to mix pre-workout.
