I love stouffer’s Mac but have bought this over the name brand the last 3 times now! Really good, saves on cost, and just as easy to prep! For my household of 2, we get a couple meals out of this.

I have two sets of these. Servingware can get hot! Especially if it’s something out of the oven. Protect your dining areas and use trivets! They are so worth it.

Another kitchen item we have doubled up on. You can never have too many storage containers. While organizing them may being a nightmare, having options is a dream. We’re slowly moving away from plastic storage.

Our main pots & pans set. I really have no complaints and they’re worth every penny.
