Kitchen Things
Food and items that are staples in my kitchen, with all the reasons as to why I use them/swear by them.
I serve this with buttered rice and pan seared green beans, which is always a hit for my family of 5!
Bibigo Sobaba Crunchy Glazed Chicken, 48 oz Same-Day Delivery
Throw this in with almost any chicken based meal and taste the elevation. This also works with cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, and cream of celarte.
Broccoli Cheese Soup Canned
For a quick toddler friendly lunch, Mac & cheese is a must have in my house.
Mac and cheese cups in Macaroni & cheese(190)
Makes every meal stretch a bit further, making it a cheap and easy must have in my pantry.
Carolina® Rice: Explore Quality Rice Products and Recipes
If you don’t have this in your cabinet, do you even have kids? All jokes aside, it’s always nice to grab a quick bowl of noodles as a comfort dish in cold weather.
Ramen Noodle Soup Packets
A classic snack from childhood, it’s hard to go wrong with cheddar crackers. Not only is it safe for kids to bring to school, it’s delicious enough for me to bring to work as well!
Austin Cheddar Cheese Flavored Sandwich Crackers
STOP RUINING PANS WITH METAL UTENSILS! That is all
Spatula
As a fan of the carnitas flavor, this one piece of meat can get spread across 3 dinners for my family of five! Throw it in the crock pot for a nice stew type meal, then enjoy some quesadillas, tacos, or even Shepard’s pie on following nights with the...
Aldi’s Seasoned Boneless Pork Shoulder (Carnitas or BBQ flavored)
SEASON YOUR FOOD. For real, find some staple seasonings for your cabinet that work well with everything. Chicken, beef, pork, potatoes.
Dan-O's Seasoning
You need to try this amazing dip for a quick, sweet treat. I personally love using animal crackers and graham crackers as vessels for this delicious dip.
Park Street Deli Chocolate Chip Cannoli Dip (Aldi)
Please bear with me, for I almost never buy name brand toaster pastries, but everybody understands what they are. There are mornings I don't get home in time to see my eldest off to school, and others where I am just too lazy to make eggs and sausage...
Toaster Pastries (Doesn't have to be name brand!)
Don’t judge me, but I don’t dilute this. I take a little swig from the bottle when I am suffering from indigestion and am immediately relieved. I swear I only started needing this after my 30th birthday.
Apple Cider Vinegar
As a mom who works overnights, Gamersupps has been a game changer for my taste buds and my wallet! I was downing a 20oz can of the liquid that gives you wings, but now I’m drinking one 16oz bottle of delicious flavored water. Currently I’m drinking S...
GamerSupps
Any time I go to Costco, getting one of these is a must. Not only do I make chicken sandwiches out of it for that night’s dinner (with one of their Parmesan rosemary loafs), but I boil the bone to make chicken stock that I then freeze and use for fut...
Costco’s rotisserie chicken
For when you want a snack that gives you a little bit of feeling after a hard day and that the kids won’t ask for.
Clancy's Hot & Spicy Fried Pork Rinds
Let’s get real. Sometimes you need a slightly strong mixed drink to hit the worst of life that wine just doesn’t touch. I paid $13.99 for a bottle almost as big as my regrets in life. Can’t find a better deal (No I don’t want Mr.Boston lol)
Kirkland Signature American Vodka, 1.75 L
Sanity Savers
For the times where you feel like you don't know who you are anymore outside of being a parent. Take a moment for yourself with some of my go-to solutions.
Coloring isn’t just for kids! Sit back and relax with some cute pictures and maybe a glass of Marcia Sangria Moscato
Kawaii Coloring Book
Delicious. Light. Refreshing. CHEAP. This has been my go to wine for over ten years. It never disappoints…unlike life
Madria Sangria Moscato / 1.5 Ltr
Household Essentials
For all my curly haired people (because curls don’t worry about gender) please invest in one of these, especially if you live in an area that experiences real winter! Here in New England, we spend up to half of our year in cold temperatures, so don’t...
Satin Lined Beanies
