For all your kitchen needs!
I don't even remember how I cooked with ground meat before buying this. My stove time got “chopped” in half! Plus, no spoon required means dirtying fewer dishes.
Meat Chopper
A great dupe for Pampered Chef, these scrapers cut down your dish time like crazy. Stuck food comes right off! Plus, they're safe to use on nonstick pans.
Pan Scrapers Set
I love these double-ended spoons. The narrow options fit neatly into smaller containers like spice bottles.
Cuisinart Magnetic Measuring Spoons
Throw out your old set! You'll only need one measuring cup from now on. Use it for everything, and then just toss it in the dishwasher.
4-in-1 Adjustable Measuring Cup
Chopping veggies for a recipe was always my least favorite part of cooking. I love that this tool gets it done in seconds!
OXO Manual Food Chopper
An adorable accessory to cut down on odors and dish use. Pour bacon, ground meat, or vegetable grease into this instead of a drinking glass. Looks cute, and can be used multiple times before washing.
Talisman Designs: Bacon Bin
This is a fantastic tool! It specializes in frustrating ingredients like honey, syrup, peanut butter, shortening, and other sticky substances. Pull it down to the measurement you need, fill it to the top, shove it out, and scrape it off. Easy! And co...
KitchenArt Pro Adjust-A-Cup
Not just for apples, either! I've used this to make potato wedges, and to section onions and tomatoes for roasting. Another great tool that cuts your prep time in half.
Stainless Steel Apple Slicer
This is a great tool to make handwashing dishes easier. It's gentle on nonstick pans while still cutting through dried food. I chose this one because it's the first one I've tried that doesn't leak after a few months of use.
Dawn Fillable Scrubber Dishwand
Swap out disposable cups for these! Microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe, and you don't even need a muffin pan since the strong silicone is extra durable. Fill with batter, and simply place them on a baking sheet.

To splurge on new equipment!
I absolutely adore my Carote set. 13 pieces for under $100, super easy to clean, and the white color is cute and goes with every kitchen! It even comes with matching utensils.
Carote Nonstick Pots and Pans Set
This was a godsend during my dorm life days! Quick healthy meals in a pinch, no stove needed.
Nostalgia MyMini Personal Electric Skillet

To add extra life to your kitchen!
I grabbed a few of these off of Etsy and never looked back! They're cute, comfy to use, and slap right on the fridge when you're done.
Magnetic Jar Grippies
This timer has easily lasted me several years. I love that the digital readout is clear and easy to see.
Mainstays Digital Kitchen Timer
Another great Etsy find! Reusable “plastic wrap” saves the environment and your wallet. These are washable (with cool water; not dishwasher safe!) and last FOREVER.
Organic Beeswax Food Wrap
